From my point of view several things immediately stand out. There was something that provoked. According to some sources this source of "irritation" falls into one of the following categories:
- You need to set a limit
- You need to protect your time
- You need to find another way of doing things
- You're feeling resentful or angry
- You suffer from perfectionism
From my own personal point of view I see some validity in these categories. I am well aware that they aren't meant to represent every single scenario, but it does represent a starting point.
Starting point?
At some level one must realize that you were "provoked". After having admitted that you were provoked and you responded, did your response help or harm the situation? After all, your response to that provocation says a lot about who you are as a person. It says a lot about your character, your intentions, and your outlook on life.

The scripture teaches that anger resides in the lap of fools. There are going to be things that makes us angry.
Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry; for anger rests in the bosom of fools. Ecclesiastes 7:9 ASV
The Apostle Paul had this to say...
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. - Ephesians 4:26-27 KJV
Anger after all is a natural human response. Yeshua (Jesus) got angry, and yet did not sin. Take that anger and use it as energy to do good. Do NOT cause more damage. Do NOT cause other people to become "angry" at you for doing what you know is the wrong thing to do. Maybe there is some things you need to change within your own life.
