Absolutely. Back when I was in school I hung around with a few groups during my years there, and even though they weren't nice people, I for some reason still considered them to be "friends". I must've been really naive back then, or maybe just looking for some form of company, because they were never nice to me, or at least it was exceptionally rare for them to be. Eventually I pulled away from them in my last year and I felt the benefit of it, but yes, they definitely annoyed me while I was with them. I'm really not sure why I put up with it in retrospect, because I wasn't exactly a pushover, just maybe a little too easy-going and I didn't respect myself enough to realise that I deserved better.
I made some friends at uni who were obviously far more mature, and I can't say they really irritated me, probably because we actually had something in common and were adults now. The only time I truly got annoyed with them was when we had some group projects to complete and someone wasn't pulling their own weight.
Online friends though? Yeah, maybe a little... I've known most of them for years now and I adore them, but there are times where I get frustrated with them, maybe through their behaviour or refusal to try some new game with me or something silly like that. In the end, I still love them and I'd be lost without them, but I wish they'd be more willing to try new activities with me sometimes. We don't spend nearly as much time gaming together as we used so and I miss that, but it's trivial.
