Why he might be annoying:

    His initials are DNA.
    At an airport in New York, he purchased crackers from a vending machine. While waiting for his plane, he began nibbling at the crackers and the guy next to him gave him an evil look and started eating the crackers, they alternated eating the crackers. When Adams got on the plane, he noticed the crackers he purchased were in his suit pocket.
    He claims the answer to everything is the #42, but we don't know the correct question.
    He does not like to be called agnostic, he says their is absolutely no evidence of a God.
    He claimed to be an observant Christian until he was 18 and realized the logical fallacies of religious beliefs.
    He was working on 'Salmon of Doubt' when he died.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He popularized the phrase 'Don't Panic.'
    The symbol of his books is a green face with a tongue sticking out of its mouth and taunting hands wriggling from it's ears.
    His satire of the universe is that there really is no purpose, just the search for it.
    He thought of the idea of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy while traveling in Austria in 1971, and it began as a radio series on the BBC in 1978.
    He was the first person to own a Mac computer in England.
