People who walk at snail pace in the middle of the sidewalk. If you have no reason to be walking around and you're just killing time, at least move aside and leave me run where I need to run.
People who stare at you on bus/train. Do I know you? People who sit beside you on bus/train, even though there's PLENTY of other seats. Unless you're a very attractive girl, please go away. People who try to chat at bus stops/station/waiting room.
ANd since it's summer, the beach pet peeves:
Parents allowing their kids to act like they own the whole beach
Parents washing little kids in the feet-washing sink. I'm there to wash my feet/swimsuit, so I'd rather not stand in queue for half an hour while you're bathing your 4 years old kid, thank you. There are showers for that purpose.
Preteen girls giggling. Fingernails on a chalkboard...

Roman numerals, I'm not *&%#ing roman & neither is pretty much anybody that puts them in their works.
This thread's about to go downhill.
Also websites with BGM, shouldn't have to worry about my speaker's volume when I browsing.

text talk when typing. text talk when texting i can see, because you can only text so much and it takes a long time to text a word than it does to type it. but when it's on a computer, it's annoying, it's lazy, and half the time i have no idea what the hell you're saying.
people who, when i tell them that i'm training to become a wrestler, ask ME if i know that it's fake. no, i've yet to learn that, they haven't told me. jackass.
people who give their kids stupid names. you know what i think would be a good name for a kid? ska. it sounds cool, is easy to remember, and is unique. but the kid might not think so. growing up he might hate it, be hated, and hate me for giving him the stupid ass name. he can get a nickname later in life, but don't put the kid in a position where they have no choice but to go by the name "teigan" or "destiny". be creative somewhere else, don't do it in a way that'll permanently piss off your kid.
people who only start supporting a sport/team when they're winning. what, a british guy's doing well in tennis? oh yeah, go on andy!! what's that, we won at the rugby? come on the lads!! i'm sorry, but don't pretend to be a fan and then duck out when things don't go your way. as a fan of west brom, who are like the stevie richards of english football, i've experienced these retards alot whenever we actually win. thankfully we don't win much, so they tend to stay away.
people who think "how wasted am i?" is a good way to start a conversation. we're all wasted dumbass, talk about something else. of course the people who do that usually have all the personality of a used teabag, so them asking you how wasted they are is usually a conversation highlight.
t-shirts with jokes on them. oh, you're wearing a shirt with an arrow pointing to your cock labelled "free hand wash, pump here"? well, that's original of you. you clearly wrote that joke and delivered it well. get some actual personality or go away.
and these are just the "stupid" ones, i've got alot more in the "make me so angry i wanna throw a bag of babies off a bridge" department.

don't think it's a stupid pet peeve, but rather something that has lost it's value:
The devil horns sign
If you wanna put a curse on someone, ok, but when people do it in every picture they take with a group of friends, it's f***ing cliche'
What did it for me is when I saw two drunk girls give the sign for a comedian

OK, time for some real pet peeves of mine:
A major one for me is rude people. I mean really rude me-me-me-me people. For example, you're at a store with only 1 register open. You're 2nd in a long line. They decide to open up another register and the clerk says, "I can help who's next." With that, the idiot who's last jets over to the new register. UGH!!!!!
While grocery shopping, people who leave their carts unattended in the middle of the freaking aisle. These days supermarket aisles are filled with little displays so it's hard enough to navigate but when some nimblenink leaves their cart right smack in the middle of the aisle. Also, by extension, you're standing in the aisle looking for something and someone walks right up and...stands directly in front of you to look on the same shelf.
People who talk on their cell phones in restaurants. Get the F up and talk outside. I'm here trying to have dinner with my wife, not to listen to your inane conversation. By extension, people who do the same in movie theaters. This after the theater, more than once before the movie beings, asks everyone to turn the blasted things off. Can't you shut that frigging thing off for 2 frigging hours so people around you don't have to hear it going off?
Bad service. I seem to be a magnet for this one because I've been the victim of some of the worst service known to man. I try to be patient yet my patience has limits.
People who don't do things for themselves. The internet is loaded with these people. Love it or hate it, Google is a decent search engine and can usually point you in the right direction for what you're looking for yet people, especially on Yahoo! Answers, will start threads wit stupid questions like, "Where can I find a list of all the Super Bowl winners?" Stuff like that. Google that and you'll get a million hits. People like this are just lazy.
People who can't sit still at sporting events. I'm not talking about getting up and cheering your team. I'm talking about people who constantly get up from their seat to get something to eat, go to the bathroom, ect. All while the action is going on. I went to a Phillies game one time at the old Vet and sat behind the plate in the first row of the 300 level(good seats for those unfamiliar). Unfortunately my view was obstructed by a constant flow of people walking by. When I saw constant, I mean constant like it never stopped or ebbed.
And finally (for now), I have to agree with the dude who hates front runners. I get laughed at all the time because I root for the Arizona Cardinals. Usually by people who are fans of perennial winners even though they've never been to that team's home stadium. I once new a guy who's football allegiance fell to whomever was the previous seasons Super Bowl Champion. This makes me want to punch someone.

Answers, will start threads wit stupid questions like, "Where can I find a list of all the Super Bowl winners?" Stuff like that. Google that and you'll get a million hits. People like this are just lazy. Agreed. To add to your cell phone comment, I also hate those who use them on buses, streetcars, etc., and feel the need to shout their conversations. (By the way, why can't people on cell phones look where they're going instead of looking at the ground while they walk and talk???) I also hate people who blare their music without thinking of their neighbours. Even those who play their iPods, etc., at sadistic decibals in public places (i.e. buses, streetcars, elevators, etc.). People who don't know that you should walk on sidewalks the way you drive your cars on the street. Keep to the right, look where you're going, don't weave, and don't walk side-by-side-by-side (and block the sidewalk in doing so)!

At a drive through window, when they say "We're waiting for the fries." Goodie, hot fries! But they give you the drink and walk back to the food station. Where's the straw? In the bag - awaiting fries.

Parents and their babies. For some reason, the parents think they're the exception to all rules just because they're toting screaming, crying bundles of annoyance. They stop in the middle of the sidewalk to fiddle with their babies and their carriages, they allow their babies to scream and carry on in restaurants, on trains, on planes, etc., without doing anything to try to stop the noise, and they seem to think everyone loves babies and think the screaming and crying is cute.
Also, I don't appreciate when mothers nurse their babies anywhere they feel like it. I know it's a natural act, but so is peeing and you generally don't see people relieving themselves wherever they please.

People who don't say thank you. I HATE THIS. It takes a second, and it's amazing how many people don't do it.
People who don't say "please". Manners matter people.
Going to a fast food place and: they forget to put an item in the bag that you don't notice until you've driven off, you have two drinks yet they put in ONE straw, no napkins, etc...
Girls/guys who wear too much perfume/cologne.
Watching wrestling with someone who is not a fan, who spends the whole time going on and on about how fake it is, how fake it looks, etc...like you're an idiot who thinks it's all real.
Pop up ads!
Buying a nice new piece of electronics, bringing it home and excitedly opening it up...and then realizing you forgot to buy one particular thing that goes with it that you need to make it work.

Lip syncing.
People pay good money for expensive tickets to see "singers" perform live. They don't shell out all of that money to watch someone mouth the words to heavily-enhanced pre-recorded music.
Oh, and hip-hop music. Sorry, I know it's popular -- but I hate it.

We had a heated thread on this a couple of months ago. It's a horrible feeling to be in public with a screaming child. Remember, freaking out about it <> doing anything about it. If anything, it exacerbates the problem, and teaches the kids that freaking out is an acceptable way to handle a problem. I have my meltdowns, but I do them in private, so that when we ARE in public, they know the expectation ahead of time. Oh and the airplane thing, it's hell on their ears. Luckily, mine have never melted down on the plane.

just to add to the cell (mobile) phones debate...
I dont know if this annoying trend has taken off in the US (or wherever someone is reading this from) but i HATE that people have started using their mobile phones as radios/mp3 players WITHOUT headphones.
It really is the bane of public transport now.. having some inbred 15 year old moron play his trance music at full volume from his phone... ARGH!

As previously mentioned, people who support teams just because that team is doing well. I hate this.
Like a few months ago, where my local football team, Cardiff City, reached the FA Cup Final. For those who don't know, this is a huge tournament that involves hundreds of teams, so getting to the final is a pretty good achievement. Anyway, of course, this happens and suddenly everyone becomes a fan ... at least, until they lost in the final and now everything's back to normal, some even denying they supported them in the first place.

Is this stupid or proper pet peeves, oh well I'll do both.
People treating service staff like crap, particularly ignorant old people.
The baked bean juice touching my other food.
People who share Gorilla Monsoon's struggle with the meaning of the word literally.
Cover versions of songs that are less than 2 years old, there should be an official time limit, particularly for bloody Mark Ronson.
Eco freaks who won't accept others view points, they're like religious extremists the way they won't hear a word against their hair brained schemes, they don't realise how they damage their cause by spouting rubbish.
People asking "are you alright" if I'm quiet.
Glory Hunters who give it large, if they admit it they are plastics it's fine, if they act like life long die-hard supporters when I've seen their team more than them it's a punchable offense.
Stewards.
The "I only listen to bands that don't exist yet" types.
People moaning about getting old, it's better than the alternative.
Parents moaning about their kids behavior when they're just showing off how popular they are.

Here we go...
- Misspelled words in posts (even this forum isn't exempt from this problem). Even more ridiculous are the chronic misspellers who have recently graduated from high school or university. Read before you post.
- LOLCats are not funny, never have been, and never will be.
- Misuse of there, their, they're, it's, its.
- All things Seth Rogan.
- The Lifetime, Oxygen, and WE channels. Truly the bane of man's existence.

- LOLCats are not funny, never have been, and never will be. - The Lifetime, Oxygen, and WE channels. Truly the bane of man's existence. I can relate to those. 1. Add to the 1st one, internet in-jokes in general. I can probably think of ONE net-based joke that's actually funny. 2. Folks who tell you not to state your opinion as fact, especially when it comes to small-time stuff like what video games you love and hate. I'm not about to censor myself for your pathetic ass. 3. People who dislike basketball. 4. Family Guy. 5. Overly terse people who like to give one word answers. You think I asked "Did you like the movie?" just to see you go like this: ?

People who end a question with "er".
"Are you going to the store, errr...?"
"Do you need any help, errr...?"
"Would you like fries with that, errr...?"
Drives me up the f***ing wall.

People wearing flip flops. That sound makes me want to jam a pencil in my eye. I'm not a fan of that sound either. Most of the time, I want to snatch those "shoes" off that person's feet. I'm not a fan of flip flops in general. They are not comfortable and they are flimsy. People who call me "swee tie" or "baby". Just drives me nuts. Good call, don't give me a pet name because you can't remember my real name. Other peeves of mine *fringe *the color Khaki and the people who think it goes with everything *Grammar Nazis(you aren't smart, you're just assholes) *People who think literally means actually *Lifetime:the network for men who hate women *People who think mispronouncing words on purpose is cute
