Noise, this is the number 1 thing that annoys me. I'm not gonna start on any details here or I'd end up writing a small essay.
But another thing I can discuss in less detail is when people talk a lot about matters that are of no interest or relevance to me. Really discussions are fine but I find myself to be perfectly capable of only just saying a few words to cover what needs to be covered about any one topic, and it's not so hard to keep discussions only relevant to the interests of the particular person you are talking with. There are some people that will just talk to talk, often someone will start talking to me about some interest or hobby they have and I will make it clear that discussing it with me is pointless as I don't know the subject or it is not of interest to me but then those same people will keep talking about that particular topic just to talk. Why must people do that ? Like one person I know is a huge fan of cars while I can't even name most of the parts of a car, yet he always has to talk about cars with me, even if I've told him I have no interest in cars and that I don't know what he is talking about. The next time I meet that person, he will also at least attempt to discuss cars with me again, he always does.
Small talk can be okay but it just becomes pointless in those kind of situations.
