The Most Annoying Habits Of Each Zodiac Sign
Something you do annoys somebody.
getty There isn’t a person on earth who doesn't have a least one annoying habit. We all have a ton of behaviors and ticks that are annoying to someone, but our annoyances make us interesting and distinguish us from other people.
Since so many of our characteristics and traits are influenced by astrology and our horoscopes, it's only natural to want to discover the
annoying habits of each zodiac sign. That way, you know what you're dealing with.
Now, sometimes we're annoying because we want to irritate someone, but other times we can be completely oblivious to what we’re doing that other people find annoying. Annoying habits can be endearing, or they can be relationship deal-breakers.
The problem is that there are times when focusing on stopping behavior just makes you do it more often. If you think to yourself, “Stop thinking about that one leftover slice of pizza,” all you can do is think about that slice of pizza and how much you want to eat it. Not only don’t you stop your behavior, but maybe the fact that you always eat the last slice of pizza is the annoying habit that irritates your partner.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries' most annoying habits are being rash so that they say something hurtful out of the blue, being impulsive so that they do things without thinking of the consequences, or taking into consideration anyone else and being dismissive of other people's thoughts and ideas.
It's annoying when Aries get on their high horse and tell everybody exactly what they're feeling, especially when the timing is off and no one asked anyway.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus' most annoying habits stem from being both stubborn and greedy. When they want something, they're unmovable and nothing will convince them to give it. It's like arguing with a brick wall.
They want what they want, and they won't stop until they get it. Taurus can also be lazy which is annoying when you're with them doing all the work and they're just sitting on the couch relaxing.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
For all their great communication skills, Geminis can be annoying when they pretend to be listening but they're really not. They think they're putting on a good show and are hearing every word you're saying, but it's obvious their mind is a million miles away.
It's also super annoying when a Gemini forgets they told you that story and tell it again, especially after you've politely indicated that you heard it already.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Because Cancers are extremely sensitive, it can be annoying to feel as if you have to walk on eggshells around them so that you won't upset them further. It's also annoying when they get needy and clingy and hang onto you like you're the only one who can save them.
No one wants to hurt Cancers any more than they have to, but it would be so good if they could just develop a slightly thicker skin.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos can be super annoying with their quest for praise. Sometimes it feels as if they don't run on food and water like the rest of humankind, but compliments and attention.
Leos can also be annoying when they refuse to share the spotlight and won't let anyone else get any attention when they're in the room. They need to believe they're as great as they think they are.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgos have the annoying habit of making a big deal if the tiniest thing is out of place or if their routine is broken up for some reason. They like to control every detail in every situation, but when they can't, they can get very cranky.
Virgos can also be very annoying when they feel they have to show off how smart they are and how they have every answer.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libras have the annoying habit of being very indecisive — not only do they have trouble making up their minds, they have to think about their decision after they've made it. It's also annoying how they'll ask everyone's opinion but never use them.
Libras do what they want to do, even when they're advised against it. Sometimes the things they do to avoid confrontation can be very annoying such as turning down invitations just so they won't run into an ex.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios have the annoying habit of expecting everyone else to reveal their deepest, darkest secrets while refusing to tell anyone theirs. In addition, it's annoying how Scorpios have no problem manipulating people for their own purposes.
No one likes being used, and you know Scorpio wouldn't like it if it were happening to them, but it doesn't stop them.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarius' annoying habits come from their fear of being tied down so that they refuse to be responsible for their actions. They're also annoying with their humor — it's not that they're not funny, it's that they don't always have good judgment when they tell a joke or pull a prank.
It's as if they don't think things through and impulsively go for a laugh, even when it's almost guaranteed to fall flat.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Capricorns can be annoying when they are too hard-working and driven to take a break or even crack a smile. In addition, it's annoying when Capricorns get all judge-y and on their high horse and refuse to see things from anyone else's point of view.
Plus, there are times when they're so self-righteous it's not only irritating, it's a little nauseating.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarians have this annoying habit of liking to stir up controversy just because they're bored. If everyone else is of one opinion, Aquarius will have the opposite one just to be contrary.
Also, they expect people to be compassionate about their emotions, but then are completely insensitive to the feelings of everybody else. Aquarians can dish it out, but they can't take it, and that's annoying.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces have the annoying habit of taking on everyone else's problems as their own. They're completely unselfish and giving, but that sometimes makes them too easily led and they get into trouble because they didn't say no.
When Pisces slips into the victim-role, it can be very annoying, especially when they won't listen to anyone else's suggestions at how to get out of it. It's also annoying when you're in the middle of a conversation with them and they're thinking about their next creative endeavor.
