I wouldn't say one character in general gets on my nerves. I've actually enjoyed all the good characters, and been annoyed with some of the bad characters. But I think RJ intended us to dislike the evil characters. I liked Faile from the first time she appeared. Although Elayne's succession to the throne of Andor plot can sometimes get boring I still think she's an entertaining, and well fleshed out character. There were times Nynaeve got on my nerves because she too often seemed to "silence people with a look" or "tugged on her braid". But she's great in KoD and TGS. She's genuinely concerned with Rand's well being, back to the old Nynaeve who wanted revenge on Moiraine because she believed the Aes Sedai ruined the lives of the Emonds Fielder's.
The only time characters annoy me is if they are too one dimensional or not fleshed out. RJ does an impeccable job of creating believable characters who seem like real people as much as they are fictional characters in a universe of magic and swords.
The only character I've ever found annoying was Elaida. She has so much evidence that what she is doing is wrong and going to end in ruin staring her in the face, along with the fact that she catches Alviarin manipulating her and just punishes her. I was so happy when that a'dam was put around her neck in TGS. But if an author cannot create unlikeable villains, then well, he/she isn't worth reading.
