What are those itty-bitty, tiny, petty things that annoy the hell outta you? We know the common ones (lose vs. loose, bad drivers, etc.) so more points for originality/rarity.
I'll start with a couple:
• People using the word 'blackmail'. Even if it's onTV, I always reply, "No. I'm 'black male', that's extortion."
• I sit in a teleworking cube semi-weekly and trash can sits at the entrance. An AVP office is 8 feet away and people entering/exiting his office always use this trash can rather than the one is his office. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't alway throw the stuff from afar so it's makes an annoying noise when it lands. Irks me to no end. I feel like putting the trash can right in front of his door, but you know, I like being gainfully employed and all.

I ain't gonna lie. I've never hunted or fished but I respect those who do. I also watch "Doomsday Preppers" and when it hits the fan, I'm gonna hang out with you! Right, buddy?oh, people who think they have the right to tell me their opinion on hunting and how it's "evil" while they're scarfing down some meet from a big feedlot.

^^^ this and people who snap and pop gum.
People who pass you while driving to get in front of you and slow down. Really?!0 -
People who grocery shop with their cart parked in the middle of the aisle.
People who walk in groups of 4-6 on the trail and take up the whole thing without regard to others who are using it.
People who let their dog poo on the trail and don't clean it up, especially if I see it happen. If you didn't have crazy eyes and if we weren't the only people in sight, I would tell you about yourself.
People who are completely unable to hold themselves accountable for anything. If you messed up, admit it. Accept the consequences, learn from it and move on.0 -

I have recipes for human. (Ok, not anymore, but I did, it was an old cookbook that since grew legs, and it had recipes for human.)
You ever had squirrel? You wanna?

Oh yeah, both of these "grind my gears". I get "road rage" at both, especially the cart user who parks in the middle AND then stands next to the cart while looking at stuff. I see red and hear Ludacris' "Move B!tch!" playing in my brain pan!
I also hate the "hall talkers" who stand on opposite sides of a hallway rather than on the same side. I walk right between them as if there weren't there. If you didn't want me to walk through your words, then your words shouldn't cross a walk path.
...and what about those drivers that stop in the middle of a residential road to talk to someone outside the car? Pull the *kitten* over to the side why dontcha?! :mad: And then wanna get all pissy when I honk.... F-U! :explode:
P.S. I'm not real-life 'rager', but I have a vivid imagination full wonderfully sadistic things that I do to folks like these... with a smile on my face!0 -
When these little fockers take up residence around my house.
I have KIDS for crying out loud!

People who don't use their turn signal
People who pull out in front of you when there is NO ONE in sight behind you, only to drive 300 feet and turn off!
People who pull out in front of you when there is NO ONE behind you then don't even go the speed limit!
People who drive 10 miles under the speed limit then have the audacity to flip you off once you pass them!
OMFG the road rage I get is unreal. Stupid people should not be able to drive!! 0 -

When I have to actually stop and wait .07 seconds for three cars to pass through my small little center of town and it's 9 o'clock at night. (Seriously. My husband and I laughed at ourselves when we got mad over this one night).0

Not everyone knows what it is. None of the people I hang around with know what it is and I had to Google it to find out because everyone was talking about it.0 -

parents that think its ok to let their kids run wild in a store and act like little monsters screaming and yelling.
parents who think its ok to bring a small child to a nice restaurant and let that child scream through the whole meal.

dog owners that dont pick up after their dogs, especially the ones that let the poo just hang out on the side walk or a walk way. so trashy.

How YOU doin'?! :flowerforyou:...Men who don't put out on the first date0 -
So many I could list. The big one for me this week has been the guy that heavily drags his feet when he walks. You can hear him through the whole hall. It's going to happen, I'm going to snap!0
