We attract what we are into our lives, including people. They are all reflections of who we are inside to some degree. The more emotional your reaction the more it lives inside of you. Its a tough pill to swallow but when someone irritates the hell out of you, its because in some part of your life in another situation you are doing the same thing. The key is to fix it in yourself to stop experiencing it in your life. If you don't it just keeps coming back and getting worse until it gets your attention and you definitely don't want that. So the next time someone pisses you off ask yourself you got mad and whatever your reason is look for it in your own behavior to see where it shows up. This works for both positive and negative characteristics. If its positive, embrace it in yourself and you will experience more of that in your life.
Self Mastery.... Its a journey. Happy Trails :)
