Why they might be annoying:

Religious accounts mix faith, interpretation, fantasy and historical reality making accuracy suspect.
Only their tribe was allowed to be religious leaders.
They had short fuses.

Why they might not be annoying:

DNA found identical genetic markers between them and today's Jewish religious leaders.
They instructed all the tribes.
Orthodox Jews of today treat Levites with special privileges.
Moses, Aaron, Miriam, Samuel and John the Baptist descended from this tribe.
Modern Jewish people claim to be direct descendants of them, Judah and Benjamin.
