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.

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, 2013 at 7:46

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, 2013 at 10:35

I always thought マリー was using つまんない to mean something closer to "boring".– user1478Aug 23, 2013 at 14:16
