Several WWE Superstars and personnel have gone on the record to say just how many mundane things annoy Vince McMahon daily.

During an interview for Barstool Sports' The Corp podcast, Stephanie McMahon explained why sneezing upsets her father in the first place.

"He doesn't hate me for [sneezing], but it's always like a grrr, a grimace. But on the flip slide, I've been around when he has sneezed. It's just because he doesn't like anything he can't control. The fact that he can't control the sneeze makes him upset."

Stephanie McMahon was also involved in another backstage story that relates to Vince's annoyance about basic human gestures. Apparently, this incident involves a former 90210 writer, Larry Molin, who joined Stephanie McMahon's creative team.

In a creative meeting, Vince was talking to Molin, and he kept nodding to respond and acknowledge Vince's statements. After the meeting was over, Stephanie McMahon pulled Molin aside and gave him some important advice.

"You need to stop nodding. VINCE HATES NODDING!"

Ironically, the reason behind this is that Vince McMahon hates 'yes men', despite being surrounded by them all the time. As for Larry Molin, he didn't last too long on WWE's creative team.
