Huge people, who find the narrowest spot in a store, stop and have a conversation.

People who get to the top of an escalator and stand there, with people backing up behind them.

People driving 40 miles an hour, on the freeway during rush hour.

People who carry on conversation, in a foreign language, when you're part of the group. That is just plain rude.

Non-smokers who sit in the smoking section and then gripe about the smoke. Stay out of the smoking section!

love the '*****' suggestion and the picture of the chained toilet seat!!!

1. women who drive big SUVs or trucks and don't know how to drive them
2. people who just learn how to drive standard transmission and get stuck at the green light because they forgot the clutch
3. I'm part asian, so I usually defend my asians except when it comes to their driving
4. coming off a feeter and some redneck wants to speed up so that you can't get in front
5. out of towners who don't know where they are going
6. slow drivers in the wrong lane
7. tailgaters
8. blinkers left on
9. people involved with drunk driving accidents who don't have insurance
10. INS, the one in San Antonio, is the worst, the people who work there are foreigners themselves but want to be an a**
11. US Embassy in Bangladesh- tried three times to get my brother n law here for college, but the only reason they denied him was because they were having a bad day
12. mother n law and sister n law
13. at gatherings where I'm the only American and the conversation is in their language and they are talking about ME!!

How about when you're walking and the person in front of you just stops? No good reason that you can see, they just stop. This includes people in stores or malls or on the sidewalk.

When it sounds like the people who live above you are dropping bowling balls. What? I had one family who knocked my smoke detector off the ceiling.

Some oriental/mexican drivers (some are really good, but there are those.....). Same goes for some older people.

Or how about the woman who's failed her DMV test 5 years in a row and she's taken it the maximum number of times each year and she still can't understand why she isn't supposed to drive. (this lady was in front of me at the DMV when I first moved to CA--I wonder if she's ever gotten her license?)

People who know there's a line behind them and instead of just leaving start chit-chatting with the counter person. ARGH!!!!!

People who ignore the "no solicitors" sign over my doorbell. I do not want my house number painted on the curb, I have all of the magazine subscriptions that I need and if I want candy, I buy it at the store.

People who put on a gorgeous outfit and then ruin it with the wrong shoes. Birkenstocks do NOT go with a silk dress!

Got a couple more phone related ones...

Men who return a call from a woman at a business, and just assume that whatever woman answers the phone (i.e. the "lowly" receptionist) must be the woman who called them. Like a woman can't hold any position except secretary!

People who use caller ID as their answering machine and then call back all pissy "Someone from this number called me" and then get even more pissy when I ask who they are. OK, this is a business with 20+ employees. I don't know who in the hell called you! Get freakin' voice mail!!!

People who call on their darn speaker phones, and are still having a conversation on their end. Don't they understand how this works? If you are talking, the phone automatically mutes anyone on the other end. So they can't hear me when I answer the phone. Actually, speaker phones in general when you are making a phone call. I understand the need for them with conference calls and all, but those people who are too damn lazy to pick up the receiver when they dial really irritate me!

Yes, speaker phones are soo annoying!
And how about the chronic breaker.. the driver in front of you that has to tap on his breaks every 30 seconds, for no reason at all.

Ditto the speaker phones!
Ditto the "chronic braker"
My most hated are people who litter, and people who make messes of public restrooms...blech!

I have hubby well trained with the loo seat, so no problems there.

I hate people who drive at night and don't dip their headlights and I can't see a bloody thing!

People who rip others off.

People who show off and brag about themselves.

People telling me what to do and how to do things. That causes me to rebel.

I have a few more....You don't want to get me started with the telephone thing....but since I work as a tele-receptionist, which is a glorified Telephone Answering service operator, I most certainly have lots of telephone related pet peeves. Here are a few:

1-People who call at 3am, wanting to talk to their attorney, at that time of the morning. (I can understand if they are in jail, but 99% of the time, it's someone with something really trivial, that can wait until the ofc opens)

2-People calling from a different time zone and expecting things to be open, because it's 9am THEIR TIME, who cares if it's only 6am out here in California.

3-People on cell phones-they sound so awful - they cut out - there is usually a lot of static, (and these people always want to leave a long detailed message).

4-People who are calling up to get a telephone number, and then not having a pen in hand to write it down.

5-People who treat you really nasty, because they can't see you, so they have the nerve to talk to you, like you are beneath them.

6-People who don't have the basic ability to say their name and number.

I could go on, and on and on.

Here's one more car related Pet Peeve of mine:

People who get in your car while you're driving, and won't leave your radio alone. I just hate that. I have a friend who keeps changing the station, to get to a song she likes. I say, "JUST LEAVE THE RADIO, ALONE."
