Bores primarily, rather than irritates, although one often leads to the other.
For me it's, among other things:
Sport, any and all (except caving & mountaineering), i.e. competitive sport one might say
Most pop, warbling opera, musicals
Modern art, sculpture, architecture. Detestable rubbish.
Chav documentaries on fat people or the supernatural or UFOs etc, especially when commentator has a tedious droning American accent (which most do)
World War 2 documentaries (Jesus, get over it - That was a life time ago now!)
The Kennedys - Who shot JFK etc (ditto)
Over-earnest sanctimonious PCness (but no objection to a bit, in consideration for others)
Vegetarians and ism. Worse still, Vegans
Fussy and/or slow eaters generally
Fundies, whether Christian or Muslim or other
Charity fundraising, and the whole parasite "industry"
Lib dems (although straying more into irritation territory there)
Snazzy indoor shopping centres (outdoor markets OK though)
I'll probably think of some more after seeing replies ...
