What are your pet peeves? Mine are:

People that drive slow (even though now I am one of them because of my ticket)

People clipping their nails at work

People that want to prove you wrong to make themselves look better

People who find it necessary to talk constantly. Like, if they stop talking for half an hour they'll suffocate.

Any other drivers (they are all idiots)

People who fail to use common sense (although I do this sometimes!)

People who run meetings and fail to stick to an agenda

People who ask too many questions

People who don't like me (because everyone should!) J/K

People with no sense of humor.

Really, I could go on...

You'll laugh at this one all...

People like me. Opposites attract. Put people like me in a place, and I wanna go on a spree.

People who look off when you're talking to them like they are bored with the conversation.

Sales clerks who are to busy laughing and talking to wait on you, then screw up by leaving one of the roundie alarm go offer on.

Sales clerks who will not leave you alone when you are shopping, and you just want to look.

Oh man. So many. Two of my biggest are when a couple goes out to a restaurant and the two sit on the same side of the booth. That annoys the [censored] out of me. Also, when people where the ear piece for the cell phones and look like they are talking to themselves.

It really bothers me when people are fake. There are a few people like that here at work and I avoid them at all costs.

People who can't admit when they are wrong! We're human and we all make mistakes, so just fess up and move on.

Lately every moron in the freeway has been talking on their cell phone instead of actually driving their car and I'm sick of having to swirve to avoid them. Seriously, if you can't handle both, then pick one!

People who won't move out of the way. You say excuse me and they look at you like you are mental.

People who leave the darn grocery cart in the middle of the parking lot.

People who litter.

People who think they are better than anyone else.

People who can't mind their own business.

Habitual liars.

Story toppers.

Narrow mindedness.

Bad tippers.

When parents don't discipline their children.

Thieves (who do they think they are that they get stuff for free when the rest of us have to work for it?)

When I sneeze and nobody sense 'Bless You' or 'Gazunheit(sp)'.

When you make plans with a couple that has a child and they assume it's okay to bring the child with to a dinner at a nice restaurant without asking you.

When people think religious freedom means that they get to shove their religion down your throat but you aren't allowed to say anything back because you're the supposed 'majority'.

Animal abuse in any form.

People that don't merge into a single lane when there are signs telling you to do so because of upcoming road construction, and then they expect to budge into line ahead of you (I will NEVER allow them in. EVER.)

When people have the means to support a charitable cause monetarily and their greed keeps them from doing so.

When people write posts that are WAY TOO LONG in the threads...:)
Sorry!!! Guess I'm a little irritable today...

Women who put their makeup on while driving!

Drivers who have forgotten that when your vehicle is in the intersection, you are supposed to MOVE and clear the intersection when the light turns red, not sit there partially in the way until the next light.

Networks cancelling good shows because they schedule them poorly, don't promote them, and then kill them because they didn't draw enough viewers.

Humidity!

"Nucular" vs. "Nuclear." Especially coming out of the mouth of our nuclear engineer president (Carter) and the current one (Bush), who is a graduate of Yale and Harvard.

working for a living
hot, humid weather
rude drivers (slow or fast)

When you hold the door for someone and they don't say "thanks"; YOU ARE WELCOME!, I usually say, in a very loud voice.
