It used to be Drunk students – to clarify this: HORDES of drunk MALE students being obnoxious brats, leg-less on their 4 cans of Bud. I do like the drunk female students accompanying them though

1. Slow drivers in the fast lane.
2. 20 items in a 10 item only express lane.
3. Express lane clerks who have to hold conversations with their customers.
4. People that slow down on entrance ramps to freeways (merging is a foreign concept).
5. People that park their shopping cart on one side of the supermarket isle, and stand beside it on the other side, thus blocking the entire aisle.

This is the short list.

People who are so GREEDY and SELF-Absorbed that they cruise in the left lane with no intention of moving back to the right, EVER. And, their friends who are too LAZY to ever use their turn signals.
One more, people who let their kids play Soccer, a foreign, pussy, commie, unnatural game.

4. Parents who have extremely misbehaved kids, that talk back to them and they do nothing about it.
5. When I purchase a new house to work on (I buy houses ,fix and resell for a living)and when I'm inside working nieghbors and people walking by just open the door and walk in. They must figure that since I'm not moving in and I'm there working that its ok to come in and walk through like they own the place and look over my whole operation. If the door is closed its closed for a reason.

I'll give one that pertains to sites like this one. Not a peeve really more of an "All I can do is shake my head and wonder". It's people who chime in with an answer to an inquiry after it has been correctly and completely answered more than once. Then they feel the need to display their vast knowledge by adding superfluous information to look like they are giving a more complete and correct answer than has already been given. Some people may call them moderators.

4. People who don't take responsibility for their own actions. Or the consequences of those actions. Or for themselves in general.

5. People who can't participate in a logical debate and force it to degenerate into an emotional battle.

6. Having an educated, reasoned vote have the same value as an ignorant, emotional one.

The person in line ahead of me in the grocery store who can't be bothered to start writing out their check until the cashier finally totals everything.  Come on, you could at least write in the date, the name of the store, and sign the check while the clerk is scanning your items, right?  And then they have to write the information in their check register while the line behind them keeps building.

Think you're done?  No Way!!!  [:(!]

Now, you end up behind this same idiot at the nearest stoplight.  They have a manual transmission and have to take their car out of gear.  Which would be fine, except once the light turns green, they can't seem to get it into first gear until the light turns yellow, at which point they calmly drive through the intersection, making you wait for the next green light.

People who come up to a stop light and decide to pick the RIGHT lane to go straight, instead of one of the other empty lanes.

When two lanes turn left, and the car on the inside lane or outside lane, cuts off the other car by going into the wrong lane, which is marked. Or, people on the inside lane going straight...

Women who lie about their age, which can get you in trouble if they turn out to be underage. (no this has not happened to me, but I have seen it)

Blaming others for serving you alcohol and not knowing your limit-- HOW ARE THEY TO KNOW YOUR LIMIT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING ELSEWHERE? EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT LIMIT!

Parents blaming others instead of taking responsibility for their poor parenting skills.

Frivolous lawsuits.

Anti-gunners who own/carry guns, yet are against everyone else who has them.

Asshole customers at gun ranges who think they are "above you" and can tell you what you can and can't do, even though they have no clue who they are talking to and have all of their facts wrong!

Intenet pop-ups & adds

Telemarketers/Spam/junk email. They do not have the right to abuse my service that I PAID FOR.

Companies who claim your info is confidential, yet they sell the info anyway.

Liars.

On message boards, people who twist your words to derive a whole new meaning or claim your "tone" is not appropriate. You cannot always determine what someone meant, or what their "tone of voice was"...

People who slow down to turn right. They will slow down to about 20 MPH. But when in a school zone, where NO CHILDREN ARE PRESENT, they will slow down even further... I guess they feel an urge to slow down???

School Zones: I RARELY SEE CHILDREN PRESENT!!!!

and many many many more...

Recorded telemarketing calls.

Emails that have crap that automaticaly loads if you open the message.

Idiots who get on the freeway and rush to make it to the carpool lane even though they're not up to speed yet.

Clerks who hand you your COIN change on TOP of the BILLS so they roll off onto the floor.

Customers who TOSS their bills one by one on the counter, forcing you to pick them up one by one. Or who set the coins down on the counter, as if they can't see your outstretched hand.

Guys who waste their time and my time emailing me just to tell me they can get their primers for one-quarter cent less elsewhere and that I should "rethink" my prices.

People who come up to the store while the CLOSED sign is displayed and who PULL on the damn door anyways!! Like, sure, if it was unlocked you'd really be pretty smart to walk into a gun store when it said CLOSED!!!!

Stupid pedestrians who think that THEY have the right of way when they j-walk or dart out in front of you in a parking lot. Why don't they realize that any vehicle (almost) is much larger and heavier than they are and in a contest of car vs. human, the human will lose!

When I get "wrong number" calls on my cell phone.

Worst of all is not having enough time in the day to get everything done that I want to do.

I know what you mean-- like at the local Hooters restaurant, the smoking section is in two areas. One area, right next to the bar, has a row of low tables. There is a slightly higher wall next to these tables, and some "higher" tables on the other side of the wall for non-smoking! I guess they do not understand the concept that smoke does not stay at one table...
