Often I see people write urusai to mean annoying, and I've also seen meiwaku,
but I was wondering if there was an adjective closer to meaning annoying.
Mendokusai means bothersome, but in a different sense, right?

An adjective for annoying
Here's a bunch of words which can mean "annoying" or something related:

  * `めんどくさい` (also `めんどい`): something that requires effort but you don't feel like doing or dislike doing for whatever reason; bothersome

  * `うるさい`: lit. "noisy" or "loud"; can also be used to refer to annoying people, their words or actions

  * `むかつく`: something or someone who raises your blood pressure, ticks you off

  * `イライラする`: to get annoyed by something/someone

  * `しつこい(奴{やつ})`: obstinate or insistent (person) who is pestering you with silly questions etc.

  * `腹{はら}が立{た}つ`: to get angry/furious/pissed off 

  * `邪魔{じゃま}な(もの)`: something/someone who's a hindrance, in your way literally or figuratively.

  * `うざい` (often said as `うぜえ`): can mean many things: annoying, bothersome, gross, nuisance etc. Used mostly by young people; apparently very offensive to the point of [leading to bloodshed or suicides](http://zokugo-dict.com/03u/uzai.htm).

Other words from dictionaries which I haven't encountered myself so not
certain of their nuances.

  * `うっとうしい`
  * `じれったい`
  * `わずらわしい`
  * `しゃくに[障]{さわ}る`
