What's the best way to cope with being irritable/easily annoyed?

Meditate, think more about your positive aspects, calm down, sleep over the annoyance. It is difficult to cope up, but eventually you will be able to cope up.

Ask yourself why it is taking so little to annoy you. You might need to ask why 6 times in total to get to the root cause. Also, consider what kind of impact it’s having on the people around you. Chances are that when you take a step back you may decide that this behaviour is not serving you or your relationships particularly well. If you allow yourself to get disproportionately irritated by relatively small things, where would that leave you if something really serious happened? You don’t necessarily need to repress your negative feelings. Instead you can acknowledge that you feel irritated or annoyed and make a deliberate decision not to let that get the better of you. Find a sympathetic friend who you can sound off to and/or consider writing things down. Patience and resilience come with practice. There is plenty to be annoyed about in life but make sure you balance things out by also giving attention to the things that make you happy and at peace.

hmm well first you must understand what motivates you to get annoyed easily, that questions is not easy to answer, and it differs from one person to another, people in general have different reasons for what they do, and getting annoyed can be justified of course because some reasons are convincing enough to have you simply be disturbed, or annoyed, but to come back to the main issue is being annoyed easily in other words simplest reasons having enough effect on you to get you annoyed, now if you want this to stop, you can do this, once you actually get annoyed stop, just grit your teeth and ask yourself, what caused me to do this? you will find that the reason is very absurd at most cases, if you weren't convinced by your own explanation but still are looking for a solution is to take a very deep breath, and take a walk, i always recommend this, take a walk whenever things gets complicated and feelings get the best of you, and during this walk always think about you, and why you chose to leave, if you want a permanent solution, then you must always look for a new mindset, that's what i have

Seek help and take deep breaths. Also, maybe take anger management classes if it gets bad. Make sure you also do things to cope/calm down once you feel this way. I use fidget toys or a stress reliever app for this sort of thing but, different people use different things. If you feel none of these are working then seek a specialist and surely they can help you.

By being patient with yourself. Often people will focus on the source of the annoyances. That is of course a thing you can try to change or work with, but I have learned that these feelings come from within. They are a reaction that says more about you than about your circumstances. And that is good news because you can work with this yourself. When you look at the wheel of emotion, the words you picked fall under anger. That means they are a version of anger. Psychology says that anger is a secondary emotion. This means that is is a cover for something else. Your job is to start to figure out which feelings are underneath those feelings of annoyance. Are you being ignored and do you feel hurt by that? Did you not know what to do and did tat make you feel ashamed? There are many options. Emotions have different functions. Anger has as a job to protect you and let you know which boundaries have been or are about to be violated. It is a good thing that you feel these feelings because it means that you have boundaries. Once you figure out what you are feeling and why you are feeling it, you can come up with a plan. You can learn words to set boundaries verbally when people are crossing your boundaries. You can learn how to avoid sitauting that set you up for having your boundaries crossed and in that become irritated. You can ask for help. Many good options. Lastly there is a thing you can do with your body. Emotions have a strength, a force in them and especially anger has that in your body. You need to figure out how to guide that energy. Not every situation has a good way to diffuse there feelings. you cant always get up and leave a situation to scream int a pillow. Learn what works for you. Some people write, some breathe trough what they feel, some have fidget items to help them direct this energy. Everyone is different in this. Be patient with yourself in learning this and in feeling all of it. Your feelings are valid and deserve to be felt. You are valid. And an awesome human being.
