Sure, it's not people with a different "point of view" (or more succinctly a "different conclusion") that irritate me, it is people who fail to be clear, concise and consistent in their thinking.
To broaden the question, is it not possible for you to be ok with what someone says (ie not become irtae), even if you strongly disagree with it, and even if they aren't clear, concise and consistent?
for me yes...IF the person in question is concise and clear and consistent...unfortunately they seldom are...

The point is that you never do hear it "just the once"...
