People in parking lots who bang their car door into the side of mine.
Harley Davidson motorcycles with straight pipes. Like I'm really impressed they can make so much noise. I'd like to stick their heads in a barrel and bang on it with a hammer.
The "Fast and the Furious" wannabes in those little cars that sound like loud bumblebees. These kids don't know what a real car sounds like. Give me a 1967 Pontiac GTO anyday.

Sales clerks who are not courteous or say "your welcome" when you thank them. They sould be thanking me for my business!
Sales clerks/receptionists/customer service reps who obviously hate their jobs and it shows in their attitude toward you, the customer. It is certainly enough to lose money for the business.
Sales people who come to my house to sell magazines or other merchandise, and ask "why not?" when you tell them "no, thank you". I should not have to give a reason for not wasting my money on them.
Students who don't turn their cell phones off during class time. This shows lack of respect for the instructor and other students. Very tacky during a lecture when you hear a phone ringing, then a "hello?" and "oh, Hi!". .
People who don't look me in the eye when they are talking to me.
Thanks for letting me vent....

Someone phones me at work and when I say hello they say "hold on" and start talking to someone else, they dont tell me who they are and I'm hanging on hearing them chat to someone who is with them on the other end, 5 mins later they introduce themselves and tell me what they want.
That happens to us here at work all the time. I just hang up on 'em. I figure, they must not think that what they called about was very important, so - BUH BYE.

I dont know if im wrong about this, but i hate it when people say they are of a particular background simply because they are born there. Like if they have French Parents and they are born in Greece they say the are Greek. And then you meet the Fam and NO ONE is actually Greek. Its really confusing and really annoying to me!

When you've been waiting in a long line to purchase something, and the sales associates stop assisting the customers standing in line to assist someone on the telephone. In my opinion, the caller should have to wait and first dibs should be given to the customers who took the time to come to the store, wait in line and actually purchase the goods.
People who call a meeting, and then show up 5 to 10 minutes late.
People who schedule meetings, right over your existing appointments - completely evident on the online calendaring system.
People who just walk through the doorway while you are holding the door open for them . . . with no "thanks", no smile, no nod, nothing. I've responded many times with a very sarcastic, "Oh, no need to thank me . . . I'm actually paid to stand here and hold the door open for you". I've received some strange looks after saying that - but it just irritates me so much!
People who chew food with their mouth open.
People who pick their nose, burp or fart in public.
People who don't cover their face when they sneeze in public.

We have to raise the lid to piss, why shouldn't you have to put it down to do the same???
Do what I do: just leave it down & don't worry if you wizz on the seat a little.
Hmmmm .. pet peeves, eh? How about ...
People who can't bother to put something back in a cabinet directly above or below where the item was left on the kitchen counter. PUT IT AWAY, YA LAZY BUMS!
Empty cups, pop cans, snack wrappers, etc. left in the living room. CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF, YA SLOB!
Slow traffic. GET OUTTA THE WAY, POKEY! I HAVE PLACES TO GO!
People who drive like idiots in winter weather solely because they think that their new SUV is God's gift to drivers on snow-covered roads. I'M GONNA MAKE LOTS OF OBSCENE GESTURES & LAUGH MANIACALLY AS I DRIVE PAST YOUR WRECKED EXPLORER IN THE DITCH!
Capital One Credit Cards. I HAVEN"T RESPONDED TO YOUR PREVIOUS 200+ PIECES OF JUNK MAIL! LEAVE ME THE F*** ALONE!
Spam. CAN I CLICK THE DELETE BUTTON ANY FASTER?
The 'cannonball splash' when 'dropping the kids off at the pool'. GUESS I'M GONNA NEED MORE TOILET PAPER.

My pet peeve? People ignoring a potentially fun thread started by myself. People just don't want to have fun these days.

I hate it too when people open a new container of someting when there is already one open.
People in shopping centres who see you coming with a pram and then quicly scoot in front of it, I used to slow down for them, now i just ram the pram right up there bl**dy legs, I walk quite quickly so there is no need to scoot in front of me.
People in shopping centres who just stop in the middle of the walkway for no apparent reason, or groups of people who walk really slowly in the middle of the walkway and you can't get around them no matter how many times you say excuse me.
People who arrange to meet you at a certain time and then are late all the time. My time is just as valuable as yours.
Blondie: I hate getting a wet a**e too. LOL.
