When people chew with their mouths open! It drives me crazy!!!
 
Okay, when the plows come around and clear the streets, I hate when people go out and shovel and throw the snow back into the street. That is one of my pet peeves! :banghead:

Mine too! Another peeve is when you have record snow fall, work your hind end off to keep a space clear for your cars, and the neighbors on either side are just plain lazy, and don't do so, yet complain and complain. Then when they have guests, the guests high jack your parking space so you have NOWHERE TO PARK. Grrrrrrrrr
 
Okay, let's see...

-People who walk 2x2 on the sidewalk and don't move for people to pass (like if you are walking towards them, and they don't move to single file). Especially if it is snowy out and there is nowhere to step off the sidewalk!
-Able-bodied people who take the elevator to the 2nd floor. I might just be bitter because I work on the top floor of the building, but it seems like such a waste of time!
-People who block the escalater so you can't walk up/down. Or if they are walking up/down and then stop a few metres before the top or bottom.
-When you are in a crowd and people with long hair touches me... ew, so gross!
-People who bite their nails in public then spit them on the ground.
-People who crowd around the doors of a builiding smoking, when there are pretty obvious "No Smoking" signs, and you have to push your way through the cloud of disgusting smoke to get by. Yuck.
-Spitting on the ground.
-People who meander when they walk, and they walk REALLY slow... so there is no way you can pass them.

I'm sure I have a ton more... haha, I sound so bitter!
 
I don't like it when people spell you are like 'your' instead of you're.

When people don't capitalize and punctuate their emails and stuff.

When people are legalistic.

And when someone is not 'alright', but they say they are....

Oh! little kids who disregard their parents and all of their elders and ones that are rude. When parents don't do their job.

And when people have low expectations for teens.

I probably have more. haha!
 
Chewing with your mouth open and smacking. My fiance does this and drives me INSANE.

Not cleaning up after yourself. I have random odd's and end's laying everywhere, but I'm talking about food and dishes and stuff. This is my fiance's other bad habit, and he is quickly going to be broken of it.

Anyone who is not from Japan who uses words like "kawaii" and inserts random Japanese words into their language. For God's sake, you are NOT Japanese! Don't act like it! It looks so stupid. If you want to speak some Japanese, then learn the language and actually speak it, rather than looking like a complete dingus by inserting random words here and there. It's stupid.

Over-protective parents. Again, fiance's mom. She has to know everything he does every day, and she has to call him, every single day. If we're in the basement, where his bedroom it, either watching a movie or on the computer, she will stand there at the top of the stairs just watching us. If he asks her if she needs anything, she continues to just stand there and stare at us. If he gets up and says over and over, "" Mom, do you need anything? "" She STILL just stares at us and just walks away after awhile. It is creepy beyond belief.
 
I don't like anyone to use Ain't. It bothers me a great deal.
I also don't like close talkers.
I also don't like it when someone says garantee and instead of guarantee--it's guarantee like Gary not garantee like gargantua.
 
- failing to consider the consequences of one's own behavior on self and others
- failing to be responsible for one's own behavior or that of guests or children
- talking on cell phones while on the toilet and/or in a public restroom
- poor spelling or grammar
- inappropriate apostrophe usage
- using phrases such as ATM machine, HIV virus, PIN number, etc...
- making loud noises in small spaces including using your "outside" voice indoors
- suddenly adopting a foreign accent in the middle of a sentence in an effort to show how worldly one is... like going to a Tex-Mex restaurant and, from out of nowhere, rolling the r's in the middle of "burrito" in a way that can't possibly be correct
- impeding others' progress in hallways, in escalators, in store aisles, etc... by standing there or moving slowly then acting all indignant when someone else needs to get by
- smoking in no smoking zones
- leaving pee on the toilet seat
- failing to obey the "please remain seated until the captain turns off the seatbelt light" announcement
- touching and/or spraying liquid on my glasses and making smudges
 
-When the toilet paper is put on where the paper come out the bottom.
-When I buy a pair of socks wear them and then the second time or anytime after they end up on the wrong foot. I hate the bog toe by my pinky and the tight pinky part around my big toe. *Gag city*
-When people TyPe LiKe ThIs
-When people automatically think I speak spanish before I open my mouth. I do but please dont expect me to.
-When people say "ionno" Like what the heck is that?!
-When I go to say/do something and I forget what it was that I was going to say/do.

And I have more but cant think of anymore right now..
 
Able-bodied people who take the elevator to the 2nd floor.

I'm sorry, but I just have to say this....it's there for people to use it.

video games
I think they'll be the death of society

Completely untrue..bad parenting will the death of society. I've played video games all my life and I am studying to be a game designer..I turned out just fine. Then again I had decent parents.
 
People who stop & chat with one another in a store, blocking the entire aisle so you can't get by!
 
Yeah, making noise while chewing annoys me. Unless you're eating chips or something noisy. But I should not be able to see your food or hear you smacking your lips. That's disgusting. My dad does it and it annoys the heck out of me.

People who take carts into malls. There's a Target connected to our mall and it specifically says not to take the carts into the mall. So why must you take them out into the mall? Get a stroller if you need to cart your kids around..

And not putting the toilet lid down. Sorry, it grosses me out. They've shown that there is some spray from when the toilet flushes and you will get that toilet water onto surfaces in your bathroom if you don't. *shudder*
 
- There is no such thing as "net net". It's just "net".

- There is also no such thing as a bigger or smaller half. A half by definition is one of two equal parts.

- Somehow or another the definition of the phrase "a couple" has been expanded to include three or four. It drives me nuts when I go to a store and ask for a couple of slices and the shop assistant will ask me how many I want.
 
the word "only" - it's probably a fairly short lived thing but I hate when people say things can only be a certain way or don't consider other options- I tend to be a broad thinker though.

People who don't cite sources or cite ones that make no sense (ok, I've been grading too many tests and have been reading a poorly written book)
 
Ooh, a few more come to mind.

- People who don't know when to use "too" and "to".

- People who don't know when to use "of" and "off".
 
I have a couple more...

--when people read over my shoulder when I'm on the comp.
--when people eat loudly and smack in my ear
--when I see a police car speeding even though he's not pulling anyone over
 
- When someone says 'like' every other word while talking
- Second hand smoke/smell (one of my coworkers comes back from smoking breaks and I gag every time!)
- People who bring children into the world for selfish/stupid reasons (such as 'I'll get more welfare if I have more')
- When people on facebook mark they are 'married' to a friend as a joke or whatever. It's annoying and confusing, especially when they are actually dating someone else.
- Unprofessional emails at work, for example my boss starts every email to me or his boss with 'yo' or a bunch of smileys, or thx.
 
It bugs me that it is perfectly acceptable to pass negative comments about person being skinny and that is is considered rude to do so for someone who is fat.

Not every skinny person starves themselves to look good, some actually have trouble gaining weight and could be just as sensitive about their weight as someone big who wishes to be slimmer.

If you don't go around telling fat people to eat less, then don't go around telling skinny people to eat more.
