I liked most of the characters in ST shows and when it comes to the irritating factor I accept it because they are people in the future, which means that they are different than us.
I mean, would we not be irritating to the people of the 19th century, or 17th, or the medieval people? To most of them, we would look spoiled and lazy. Especially women who would seem to them like privileged bitches. You can see it when women who are stuck in the medieval world of Islamic theocracies come to western nations and find local women to be irritating as they are cladly dressed from their perspective and not subjugated.
The only character I truly disliked was Ezri Dax. She was rushed in the last season of DS9 to replace Jadzia and just stank. Her acting was horrible and she ruined every scene she was in. I guess it was hard to fit in with actors who played their characters for seven years, but this woman shouldn't even have been an actress, let alone on ST. They could have easily gone without filling an empty slot after Jadzia left. And as salt in the wound, in the last episode when each character had a flashback of the whole seven seasons on the show, they featured Ezri with her flashback of that one season (without featuring Jadzia's memories that were in her).

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
