people who use incorrect grammar in sentences in which they are criticizing another for incorrect spelling annnnnnoy me.

You’re correct. In fact if the pink circle is “People who don’t annoy me” and the green one is “People who I don’t annoy” then the intersection would correctly be “People who I can be friends with”. Apart from that I really liked this.

Chances are you will be annoyed by your friends and not others simply because you are around them more often then you are around others, thus causing you to be in more situations that causes that person to annoy you.

See, the people you don’t know don’t annoy you because you never are given a chance to be annoyed by them.

The implication is that the author is capable of being friends ONLY with people (s)he finds annoying and whom (s)he also annoys. But the more likely scenario is that the author is a retard who doesn’t understand Venn diagrams.

This is totally a fail °_°

It shoulda been “People whom I annoy” and “People who don’t annoy me”.

On the one hand, I don’t befriend annoying people, nor do I stay friends with someone once I find them to be annoying. On the other hand, every single person I’ve ever met in my entire life has annoyed me or pissed me off at least once, including my friends. If it got to the point where a supposed friend annoyed me more often than not, though, I just wouldn’t talk to that person anymore. I think this logic comes with age, though. I find that the older I get, the less nonsense I tolerate in my life.

Makes perfect sense to me — My friends are the most annoying people i know, and they feel the same about me, but we’re still friends.

Meh. ‘Tis alright, IMO. Makes sense to me; a trait of a great friend is often the annoy factor: “I love to annoy you, you love to annoy me.”
…
I just realized that sounded slightly like a Barney song. But, you get the idea. It’s not like my friends CONSTANTLY annoy me, or vice versa, but we’re close, like siblings, so we enjoy torturing each other to no end.

What a crappy graph. Move along, nothing to see here.

No offense, but this graph sucks, and so do you, and your entire family. No offense though.

there are way too much graphs similar to this one that it kinda isn’t funny anymore

By: What?

Yeah, this graph makes no sense. Plus, this is NOT an example of a paradox.

If there is potential for annoyance on both sides, then the friendship rests on a policy of Mutually Assured Annoyance.

So you want friends who annoy you and whom are annoyed by you.

Rock solid.

I would have thought that friends would be the white space, not the intersection.
