"Galling" means extremely irritating, it's a bit stronger than "annoying".
And no, "galling" is not that common of a word.

@Viktorior Yes, "irritating" and "annoying" are basically the same, except for the case of things like skin irritation. "It irritated my skin, causing a rash." In that case, you can't use them the same.
