So what annoys you the most?
I can't stand when people don't use their turn signals and then jump in front of you and make you slam on your brakes. I try to refrain from road rage but I do cuss under my breath. Oh but even worst...people talking in the movie theatres drive me nuts! If you can't whisper then you should keep your a$$ at home.
Ahhhh... I feel much better now. Your turn.

People who say "I could care less." Doesn't make sense. If you could care less, then you must care to some degree. Should be "I COULDN'T care less."
Braggarts - One guy I know tells everyone he meets he has an MBA. He always figures out a way to work it into the conversation. Who cares??
People who let their kids run wild in a restaurant. Try a little discipline, folks. If they learn how to behave at home, they won't ruin everyone else's dinner. Or, you could dine with them solely at places with a "Playland", like McDonalds.

I'm with you on that one. It's Monday and I don't feel well. I am sick and with a cold and sore throat and I just needed to get some frustration out. Sure helps!! *takes a deep breath and sips some herb tea*

people that drive under the speed limit. Politicians that tell us that speed kills. People that can't drive safely. People that get angry
behind the wheel.

I have too many to pick a worst, but here are a few:
People who say "supposably" instead of supposedly
People who say "irregardless" instead of regardless
People who say "axe" instead of ask
People who drive below the speed limit, especially in the car pool lane
People who blast the music in their cars (can't possibly hear a siren)
People next to me in airplanes who keep talking to me, even though I am trying to read a book
Rudeness
People who send me a million e-mail jokes
Happyout (who probably peeves some people herself)
People who say "axe" instead of ask
I had to smile when I read that. Where did that come from anyway? I don't remember that as a kid, but I hear it all the time now.
My pet peeves are:
when someone leaves one ice cube in the ice cube tray
and
when someone does not refill the T.P. roll...

mispronunciations grate on my nerves!! especially 'nukeyular' instead of nuclear and "pacific" instead of specific, and my old boss used to say " fustrated" or "flustrated" instead of frustrated. i'm very precise about that sort of thing. i also hate hearing other people eat, it makes me sick. and i HATE it when someone reads over my shoulder!!!!!
PEOPLE WHO POST EMAIL IN ALL CAPS AND DONT USE PUNCTUATION
People who talk druing a story on the news, and then try to pass off what they said over the story as what they heard on the news.
Starting the car when it's already started.
Weather bulletins in the last minute of the game.
People who say, "Well, it can't get any worse."
When the body you drop in the lake won't stay down.
Checks that take forever to clear.
Parents who expect 3-year-olds to behave like 23-year-olds (Often seen at conventions)
When you get dumped with the qualifier..."You're a nice guy, but..." Fact is, you're probably shot down becasue you ARE a nice guy.
Apartment neighbors who narc on you for your outdoor/patio grill.
People who poke fun at women leaders/businesspersons/athletes for thier looks. The only time that a woman's looks should be up for scrutiny is if she is employed as a model.
Friends who insist on getting drunk for every outing, even little league games and paying the light bill.
THE WORST: Turning to a radio station and catching a song you LOVE and is NEVER PLAYED just as it ends.
Yet another Pet Peeve thread.....soon, they will become my pet peeve.
But, since my peeves change with time anyway, I'll chime in:
My latest peeve is noise. Everything just seems to be amped up these days. Car stereos. The paging system here at work. Car alarms. Kids screaming in restaurants (yeah, I have a kid too, so I know what it's like, or at least what it used to be like). Commercials.
The world just seems so loud now.
