    I got another one. At work our restrooms have 3 stalls. If I'm the only one in there, I go to one of the end stalls like any decent human being would. Then someone else will come in...and go to the middle stall instead of the one on the other end. Why?! The only reason to use the middle stall is if there is someone in both of the others already. Period.

    When the uber driver calls you and asks where you are. I AM WHERE I ASKED YOU TO PICK ME UP ARE YOU BRAIN DEAD...actually, I am a nice person but that really does drive me nuts.

    Also people who do not show any considerations for their surroundings - e.g. stopping dead in the street, standing in front of you when you are looking at a shelf in the store, walking 4 abreast on the pavement etc.

    When you are in an empty gym and someone comes and stands next to you for no reason e.g. using the mat next to yours, using the next xtrainer, lifting weights right next to you when there is plenty of mirror space and equipment.

    Oh and added to that - when the gym instructors at my gym don't take the register so loads of people sneak into body attack and you then can't move without having to shove other people out of the way.

    Maybe the last three are not so irrational though.

    Any customer that orders a Venti frappuccino. I don't understand how anyone can sit and sip a 600 calorie beverage, equal to the number of calories I burn while working an 8 hour shift where I take over 10,000 steps.

    We had automatic light switches installed in our salesmen's offices because they would never turn their lights off.

    I don't know if Specs liquor is a national chain or not but they have a commercial with people dancing crummy choreography and it pisses me off. Like a lot, I hardly understand why. Maybe it's because it's so crappy and someone got paid to make that thing. Or maybe because it horrible and always on.

    Agreed!!! My thoughts are the middle stall should have an automatic lock when a stall on the other end is available. Don't give them the middle stall option in that circumstance!

    my list of pet peeves is long and ever changing....

    today it is:

    home care nurses who can't get it through their heads that they need to call ME to schedule an appointment for my grandfather and not HIM - who will agree to ANYTHING at ANY TIME but not mean it or remember it at ALL

    drivers who are more interested in whats in the seat next to (or behind them, or on the floor, or on their phone) than you know, driving.

    teenagers. pretty much just in general.

    My partner at work drinks one of these every day for breakfast. Lunch is a 2 liter of RC Cola, 2 cans of Pringles and a burger or two. I wish I was 6"9" and 295 so I could eat like that.

    People who eat with their mouths open.
    Screaming kids (I don't mean crying, I mean those evil little monsters that screech at the top of their lungs).
    Tourists that stop in the middle of the road for no reason causing me to almost hit them with my bike. It's the centre of Amsterdam people! MOVE!

    I hate the sound of people clipping their toenails/nails. I have coworkers that do it and I want to punch them!

    Yes! Who clips their toenails at work. That is so NOT irrational, that should piss everyone off.

    People walking or talking super super slow.

    Whining (kids and adults)

    When you are waiting to merge or get onto a highway and you are waiting in traffic in a huge line of cars because everyone is needed to get off there and IT'S ALMOST ALWAYS a BMW or Mercedes or luxury care that feels like they can cut you all off. This one is probably the worse for me. Anyone reading this you ARE NO MORE IMPORTANT. Get in line!!!

    Oh, and the time I almost ran over a little old lady. They were walking 4 across and 2 deep on a 3-lane track with a dedicated runners lane. I tried to weave through them when she suddenly started to dart across lanes. THERE ARE RULES POSTED, PEOPLE.

    When anybody uses text speak. It's 2 letters between 'ur' and 'your, takes a fraction of a second, and makes you look so much smarter.

    When a mom says she will go momma bear on <insert whoever>... really? it's almost always in reference to another child who may or may not have "offended" their child... really? you're a grown woman, act like an adult.
