Acknowledge their feelings and calmly ask for their perspective to understand the issue better. This shows respect and opens the door for constructive dialogue.

Few Star Wars tips:
The Jedi Mind Trick: Channel your inner Obi-Wan and use a calm, soothing voice. Remember, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering... and nobody wants that!
The Translator: Speak their language. If they're all about logic, offer a rational explanation. If they're more emotional, acknowledge their feelings. Be the Rosetta Stone of communication.
The Peace Offering: A little humor can go a long way. Try a well-timed joke or a self-deprecating comment. Laughter is often the best antidote to annoyance.
The Time-Out: Sometimes, the best communication is no communication. Give them space to cool down before trying again. Patience, young Padawan!
Remember, effective communication isn't always about being right; it's about connecting. So put on your empathy hat and try to see things from their perspective. You might be surprised at what you discover!

Uff, that's a tough one... Stay calm, try to explain any potential misunderstandings and state what your intentions are? Hope you get through it!
Don't take it personally. Try to empathize with the person. To better understand why they are annoyed.
Clarifying misunderstandings is a possibility, and if irritation stems from a misunderstanding, then take the time to clarify any miscommunication or misunderstanding. Make sure both parties are on the same page.
It‘s a such common problem in our daily life!!!
With my experiences...
When I'm dealing with someone who is annoyed with me, I think about the unique value I can offer them, especially something that's hard for others to provide. I believe that showing I'm willing to provide this value right from the start can make a big difference. In my experience, it's crucial not to rush into expecting something in return. Whether in work or social situations, I find that maintaining a kind and helpful image makes it easier to have deeper discussions.
I always pay close attention to the details of my communication. I make sure to be polite and considerate. I try to show empathy and understanding, and I actively listen to what the other person has to say. In my view, this approach helps defuse tension and opens up a more positive dialogue.
Hope that can help you! Good luck!
keep cool and stay calm.
