People who assume that Job X is easy without having ever done that job.
People who believe that because they have experienced something that it makes them an expert in the field (primarily politicians who, because they went to school, that makes them experts in education policy and best practices)
The people who complain about a situation without developing any proactive solutions to alleviate and or fix the problems that they point out.
Racists/racism.
Sexists/sexism.
Intolerance of a person's sexual orientation/using "gay" as an insult.
Provincialism about social class.

*Animal cruelty
*Senior citizen abuse/neglect---we all have Grandma's and Grampas...why would you abuse someone else's? Would you want that done to yours?
*Child abuse/molestation: Scum does this. Scum deserve punishment. End of story.
*People who have six kids they can't feed as it is, bringing another life into the world---it's called BIRTH CONTROL, you f***ing inbred, retarded hick!
*Chavs harassing people.
*Pregnant women smoking/doing drugs/drinking: It's not ONLY you suffering for polluting your body anymore!
*Rape, no matter who does it.

Intolerance of a person's sexual orientation/using "gay" as an insult. Try working with middle school kids for a day. Hearing "that's so gay" for about 6 or 7 hours is like Chinese Water Torture. The worst is a lot of students who are immigrants to this country who are just learning English are really gonna have a hard time disassociating "gay" from "bad". "I saw a kid on a leash the other day. Parents. Do not put your kid on a leash. Put 'em in the pound where they belong!" -Bill Hicks This is a minor pet peeve I guess. But in a way it ties into the bigger problem of being inconsiderate. Years ago I worked as a bagger for a local grocery store part of my job consisted of multiple 30 minute intervals of wrangling carts during my shift. What got me mad was you'd see people not bother to take their carts to the collection bin where I was supposed to collect them. Well, that's not what was so bad, because I can appreciate laziness, but really got me is they'd take their cart and move it between two other cars, as opposed to moving it to the collection bin or being lazy and just leaving it next to their car. Either move your cart or don't, but don't half-ass it. Plus it smacks of entitlement. As to say "this cart doesn't belong between my car and the car next to me. No, it belongs between these two cars I chose arbitrarily".

even as a heavy smoker I hate seeing a pregnant woman smoke or people smoking around children
people taking jokes too seriously (2 jews walk into a bar...I was swinging it, yeah it's not funny, yeah it's racist...but these are the jokes we say backstage and it carries over into life)
people that say they didn't get a job/loan/credit card/whatever because of their race
people that are more qualified getting passed over because of affirmitive action

Intolerance of a person's sexual orientation/using "gay" as an insult. I teach junior high so I know exactly what you're talking about. At times, I just say things like: "You're right. That assignment was FABULOUS!" and other stuff like that to make them begin questioning their use of language.

People in supermarkets who do not put items back where they belong. Ever since I started working at Toys R Us I hate it more because sometimes we have SO MUCH to put back that closing (working after the store is closed) sometimes takes FOR-FREAKING-EVER! I SO know what you're talking about. Even working in a relatively tiny store for a while, it was still annoying because it becomes a matter of "you can't walk the 2 feet to your right to put it back where you JUST got it?" I always try to walk things back to where I got them if I change my mind and decide not to get them because I know how it feels when people don't.

I always try to walk things back to where I got them if I change my mind and decide not to get them because I know how it feels when people don't. I can relate with this to. I work in a little grocery store and there is always something that has to be put back where it belongs. One time I found a block of cheese in the frozen section. If I could find the little shit that did that I would throw the frozen cheese at their head.

Parents who won't admit that their kids have learning disabilities, and instead try to make them feel like failures because they're not as smart as the gifted students.

Parents who have their kids on leashes. I've never had a problem with kids leashes. I'd rather see a kid in a leash than some mother snatching a kid around by the arm. By the way, I hate seeing show out parents in public. Show Out Parents is the name I've given to parents that find the loudest and most intrusive way to let you know that they don't play as a parent.

This is probably going to make me sound like an asshole, but I don't really care. Before I started convalescing and getting my body back, whenever I was with someone, I hated seeing other people in wheelchairs, because no matter what, whoever I was with always felt the need to point them out to me, likely in an attempt to comfort me, but instead reminding me that I'm disabled and effectively bumming me out in the process.
I also hated seeing regular people (or mundanes as I call them) because I felt so awkward having to look up to talk to people. I'm 6'4, so I wasn't used to being short, but that wasn't it. Being in a wheelchair and having to look up at normal people made me feel...beneath them, in a way. It gave me a bad habit of referring to humans like I'm not one.
I don't feel like any of this post anymore, but I still hate seeing people of any kind. I'm a loner and a misanthrope.
