Often I see people write urusai to mean annoying, and I've also seen meiwaku, but I was wondering if there was an adjective closer to meaning annoying. Mendokusai means bothersome, but in a different sense, right?
Here's a bunch of words which can mean "annoying" or something related:
めんどくさい
(alsoめんどい
): something that requires effort but you don't feel like doing or dislike doing for whatever reason; bothersomeうるさい
: lit. "noisy" or "loud"; can also be used to refer to annoying people, their words or actionsむかつく
: something or someone who raises your blood pressure, ticks you offイライラする
: to get annoyed by something/someoneしつこい(奴{やつ})
: obstinate or insistent (person) who is pestering you with silly questions etc.腹{はら}が立{た}つ
: to get angry/furious/pissed off邪魔{じゃま}な(もの)
: something/someone who's a hindrance, in your way literally or figuratively.うざい
(often said asうぜえ
): can mean many things: annoying, bothersome, gross, nuisance etc. Used mostly by young people; apparently very offensive to the point of leading to bloodshed or suicides.
Other words from dictionaries which I haven't encountered myself so not certain of their nuances.
うっとうしい
じれったい
わずらわしい
しゃくに[障]{さわ}る
詰らない
(adjective in i) means annoying, boring or not interesting.

For me "annoying" suggests some level of being agitated. 詰まらない means just the opposite: dull/uninteresting/pointless/... I don't it is a good synonym for annoying. – Earthliŋ♦ Aug 8 '13 at 7:46

ふしぎの海のナディア, マリー in one episode she said つまんな〜い and she is referring about the annoying situation. image or so i have understand, maybe i'm wrong... – aliceinwire Aug 8 '13 at 15:03

I guess that annoyed people often say つまらない/つまんない (in the sense of "that's lame"), but that doesn't mean that つまらない actually means "annoying". – Earthliŋ♦ Aug 9 '13 at 10:35

I always thought マリー was using つまんない to mean something closer to "boring". – snailplane♦ Aug 23 '13 at 14:16
