Noun

annoying (plural annoyings)

(rare) That which annoys; an annoyance.
- 1865, William Buell Sprague, Annals of the American Unitarian Pulpit:
  […] they lose the true spirit of Christianity; and, while their heads are filled with clouds of mysticism, and the smoke of metaphysical nonsense, their hearts are filled with uncharitableness and bitter annoyings.
