How to use annoying in a sentence?

Alexander Jablokov "The Place of No Shadows":

And while the two men shared similar offbeat upbringings in the spotlight, Daniel Radcliffe was more fascinated by their differences and how the spotlight had impacted them over the years.
The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.
I absolutely took note of it, [And] isn’t that brilliant? I mean, there was only one of the nominees who was between 40 and 50. I think the rest of us were all over 50. Isn’t that great? That means there were five really good roles written for older women. I mean, it’s kind of annoying that it’s something we have to talk about because it should just be a given… [but] there has been a shift because it’s getting better. It’s taken an awful long time.
