    Mine in no particular order:

    Those who talk during a movie
    Drivers who don't use their turn signals
    Chewing with your mouth open
    Getting your order messed up at the drive through
    Litterbugs
    Finger nails on a chalkboard
    People who take up two parking spaces
    When someone uses the express lane for 30 items or more
    People who leave dogs in their car during the summer
    Caps lock or SHOUTING in an email/text
    People who leave kids alone in the car at any time
    Hair in your food
    People who are continually late
    Sending an email but leaving the subject area blank
    Junk mail, either in snail mail or email
    When your clothes shrink too much in the dryer
    Backwash in your drink

    I have a lot

    Mixing up then and than. I am really poor at grammar, but this drives me nuts

    People who interrupt

    Overly cautious drivers

    Babies at the movies

    Um, y'know, uh, (paralanguage)

    Women who wear too much perfume

    Couples who sit on the same side of the booth when there is no one on the other side

    The insistence of texting when a phone call would take 1/4 of the time

    Drive thru oreders messed up. [video=youtube;V66XdulPrBM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V66XdulPrBM[/video]

    the overused phrase "at the end of the day"

    People who use the last of the 1/2 and 1/2 at coffee and don't turn in the canister to be refilled

    People who butt in to scold when they had no business being involved.

    Fragrances. Especially those who think they aren't wearing enough unless you can smell them in Seattle. And men do it too.

    Men who keep making law after law about vaginas even though they campaigned on jobs.

    Assholes who tailgate me when the car in front of me is going 20 miles below the speed limit.

    Homophobes.

    Any TV commercial. For anything.

    People famous for being famous.

    Los Angeles. Anything to do with LA. Lakers, smog, traffic jams, you name it.

    Coworkers who make the same mistake over and over and over and over no matter how many times I and others explain everything in words of one syllable.

    Enough for a start. I don't want anyone to think I'm a grouch.

    Hypocrisy
    Unwillingness to admit being wrong

    Jaywalking in general doesn't bother me, but when there is a crosswalk right there and the person can't be bothered to walk the extra 100 feet before crossing the 5 lanes of traffic, it just reeks of self-importance to me. "All you drivers must stop, because I have deemed it necessary to cross this street RIGHT HERE!"

    I got one better. I like to cross the street when it's convenient because god dammit it's America and I should be able to. I fucking hate it, though, when some asshole wanders out into the street and slows me up when I'm in a hurry to get home. Fucking assholes.

    when people don't respect bathroom etiquette - they talk from a stall, or are overly vocal.

    There are two guys I go hunting with who have at times shared urinals at the same time. It is a level of intimacy I am uncomfortable with. But then I was born in Idaho, while they moved here from East coast places in their toddler years. Such things are to be expected I guess.

    I hate it when I take a crap and there is no toilet paper. I have to crab it with my pants down to the next bathroom and wipe
