“This person is annoying” is quite a subjective judgement. A person that can be fascinating for me can annoy the hell out of you. However, annoying people can ruin even the sunniest of days. Here are 4 ways to handle them.
1. Be polite
You don’t have to become friends with the person that annoys you, but you have to respect them. The thing that annoys you about them has probably something to do with your own shortcomings. So don’t jump to conclusions about the person as a whole.
