Lets hear your pet peeves.Two of mine I was thinking of today are......
[V]Cashiers that don't count out your change to you.They just stack it up and lay your bills,coins,and receipt in your hand.As if they are never wrong.
[V]People,including intelligent people, that have to gesture constantly with their hands,as if they are using sign language.Most all our politicians do this.I was taught by my School Teachers to never use my hands unless pointing at something.

Well... They are alright as long as they stay out of the left hand lanes[8D][:o)]
Number 2 Drivers talking on a cell phone.
Number 3 Stoopid people[;)]
People who stand in line at the store staring vacantly into space and then don't have their wallet out when it's time to pay--and then they insist on counting exact change but have to go back to the handbag or pocket to verify that they can't make exact change.
News reporters, trying to sound smarter than they are, referring to a paved parking spot, taxi way, or runway as a "tarmac." There is no such thing as "a tarmac." Tarmac is a tar/MacAdam mixture used for paving over 100 years ago. MacAdam was a fellow who invented a paving mixture, and it was named for him. It is something like asphalt. Yet these knuckleheads still call it "tarmac" as though that is a proper aeronautical term, even if the surface referred to is made of concrete.
BS plots on TV shows, especially soap operas.
Menstrual periods.
Bad parents.
Bad dog owners.
Anyone who thinks he is just a little bit more important than the next guy, such as the bozo who won't wait for the light to change, and cuts across the parking lot to make his turn.
People who don't carry car insurance.
People who don't speak English, and expect special treatment because they don't.
people that talk during movies
people who DO speak english but incorrectly
the words supposably and aks....they are supposedly and ask
laziness
having to repeat myself
people who drive without their lights on after sundown, during storms, fog
people that don't signal for turns
i do not want fries with that
dangling participles
having to repeat myself
getting poked in the ribs
having to repeat myself
people who use the word "like" after nearly every word
having to repeat myself
2.All the noisy little imports with the loud exhaust and louder thumping music.
3. Waiting in line at the gas station/quicky mart behind someone who is playing lotto/scratch off's and by the looks of them should use the money on something useful.
4. The islamic apologists who keep saying that "islam" is a peaceful religion.

Lazy or impatient people, example- not pushing grocery carts to the return, deciding you don't want something at the store and just setting it on the nearest shelf. I've seen many a 1/2gal of milk or something sitting on the floor by the checkout at the grocery. Or flip flopping to smaller checkout lanes just to get out a little quicker, when in most cases it take you longer.
Wannabe thugs<--how big of a bada$$ are you? Wannabe anythings for that matter.
Cheaters, I hate cheaters. Be fair and square or get lost.
I'm sure I missed a thing or two.
Number 1 Slow drivers in the left lane.
Number 2 Drivers talking on a cell phone.
Number 3 Stoopid people[;)]
number 4 f..... TAILGATERS![:(!][V]
Menstrual periods.
But without that you would not be here.
I hate:
1. Loud/Noisy/Disgusting eaters
2. Children of all kinds, shapes, and colors
3. Know-it-alls
4. Arnold wan-a-be in the gym
5. Politics/Politicians

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Either way, I still hate children. [:D]
2. People who think their vehicle is a phone booth.
3. People who ride your @$$, flash their lights at you, honk their horn, etc. when it is obvious that you're not the one holding up traffic.
4. People who don't understand what that fancy stick is coming out of the right side of the steering column.
5. People who tell me that I don't need an assault rifle to go duck hunting.
6. People who tell me that hunting with a gun isn't sporting.
7. People who don't like guns, so they don't think I should have the right to own one.
8. People who really understand that the 2nd Amendment isn't about duck hunting, but still don't want me to have guns (these people truly annoy me).
9. Waiters who rush you through a meal.
10. Waiters who give crappy service and then expect me to tip them for it.
I could go on an on here, but heck, I have stuff to do today.
Dopeheads
Folks who use the drive-thru at a fast food joint to order hugely complicated orders for fifteen people. It takes them 10 minutes to order, then another 10 minutes to check every single bag for errors, then another 10 minutes to correct those errors. In that half-hour, I could've been back at work, having already eaten my lunch.
At least half the time, these are grossly obese people who, shouldn't be eating the garbage offered by fast food places. And if they must, should at least burn ten or fifteen calories by waddling their gigantic * throught the door so the rest of us can get on with our lives.
SO.
There ya go.
That's my peeve of the week.
going threw the drive threw and the cashier doesn't know how to give simple change and has to use a calculator.
old people driving, they either drive way to slow or way to fast
and there are many more but i don't have time
Tops on the list this week:

Hey hold it a second.
They use the drivethru, genius, because their * are too big to fit through the doors.
DUH!

Stupid people (and, I get annoyed a LOT, because stupid people breed the most).
.40 cal fans[:D].
and...grrr...dammit, time to go clean the guns...too annoyed....[}:)]
In otherwords these wacko politicos feel you cannot oppose diversity, gun control, global warming, or gay marriage unless there is something wrong with you.
See the same 3 or 4 every morning and on the way home.
Oh yeah, also stopping on the highway, while rubbernecking & gawking, still on the cell phone.
2 ice storms ago I was following 2 ladies, both on the cell phones.
The lady in front was going around 15mph in the left lane.
The lady in front of me was running at around 30mph.
Me I was behind running at about 20mph.
Kaboom the ladies crashed, both did 360's in front of me then hit again!
The whole time neither put the cell phone down.
I passed and waved!!!
Any liberal who is too stupid and uneducated that beleives the goverment will take care of them.
The good old boys in big business.
A thief and a liar.
Anyone who abuses others for their own gain.
2. People with SUV or other 4 wheel drive vehicle that think they can still drive 70 MPH in the snow and ice
people who say "approximately" drive me up a fff wall!
you put your $$ on the counter so you can count it, but the clerk grabs it anyways like that's what you were going to give them
people who say one thing, then say "actually..." (something else) habitually
people who ignore my turn signal to get in the other lane, they just keep going
and then they get mad because I cut them off
having to wait in line cuz the cashier is sooooo damn slow, I really hate that one cuz it happens about every day
about every TV news person grates on my nerves, so I don't bother watching
about every NPR news person grates on my nerves, so I don't bother listening
whenever you call the 1-800 number for something, if they don't think you got their name, they almost always end up hanging up on you
rappa-ganstas
Those above that have positions created for them that get quickly "announced" and they slide into their new office immediately after retirement.
I have no idea what they do with their time besides the above and they get paid almost as much as the President of the United States with their retirements and Civil Service job.
Yet they won't do the paperwork to get their workers a $1 an hour raise allowed by Federal Law to transport explosives, bombs, missiles, and thermo nuclear warheads for hazard pay.
I'd like to deliver one to his office. But in this game it's shut up and color.
Hope I'm not around when your rubber band breaks.
