Hello, Tabitha!! Fun fact: did you know your new means Gazelle and Gracious? (I was trying to copy your tag since I’m too lazy to type the extra 7 letters and I accidentally hit translate instead of copy XD)

Ok, back to the point. Before even reading your post, I, out loud, went “absolutely not!!!” To your title. No, I don’t think it’s bad to have an annoying side character. It definitely makes that character worth remembering, doesn’t it?

However, if you are second guessing yourself, you could always make him that funny annoying type such as Screech Powers from Saved by the Bell. If you have no idea who that is because I’m very old school unlike most people, another example would be Zazoo (I think I’m spelling that right) from The Lion King. He’s annoying but he adds a lot of humor to the movie. Screech is still the better example, but I haven’t met too many people that know who I’m talking about.

I think it’ll be great no matter which route you go! I think you could totally get by with having an annoying side character. There also aren’t too many books with annoying side characters to the reader. I think that could be a lot of fun to write. That character could do no wrong!

I hope this was helpful, and it’s good to see you around!
