    1. Being late. It drives me nuts. I was taught that it is disrespectful.
    2. Rudeness. If you are a woman, I WILL open the door for you. Accept it and say thank you. Funny story with this. I was in Virginia on business once. The day before I tore the muscle in my calf. I was in an immobilizer up to my hip and on crutches. At a restaurant an elderly couple were coming in as we were leaving. I hobbled around and backed into the door to open it for the lady. She was flabbergasted. She said I shouldn't be doing that when I was hurt and thanked me over and over. I said that is how I was raised. She asked me where I was from and I told her Iowa. She turned to her husband and said, we need to move to Iowa. Made my whole week.
    3. People who think their stuff doesn't stink. Mine does and if you hang around long enough you will smell it eventually.

    Many more, but that will do for now.

    When people mainly kids open there cell phones while sitting in fron of you at the movies :mad: Its like shinning a freakin light back at ya.
    Greg said this already but it annoys me to no end, scratching the lotto ticket while waiting to pay for gas, I usually have to say something :cool:
    Going down an extreamly DRY gravel road, you see someone comming in the other direction FAST, You low down so as not to dust them. seeing that they are NOT going to give you the curtosy back by slowing down. I usually speed back up and dust the hell out of them back ;)

    1. People who ask me if I "caught anything" after I went hunting
    2. Those two fags in the Sonic commercials
    3. People not saying thank you after I open/hold the door or people who don't respond when I ask how they are doing
    4. A guy at work that feels as if he always needs to pat me on the shoulder when he talks to me...his laugh is pretty gay too
    5. Foreign customer service that you CANNOT understand
    6. messy people

    LOL... That must have been Kevin! :D

    My pet peeve or pet peeves are a little more politically oriented.

    1) Left wing liberal nutjobs who think they know what's best for everyone.
    2) Kool aide drinking fools who believe Obama will save them.
    3) Anti-hunting coworkers who have no clue, and refuse all logical discussion.

    I get more annoyed by the parent not doing anything about it, a kid will be a kid, but its up to the parents to teach them how to act in public. but whne they just try to ignore there kids misbehaving doesnt mean everyone else has to try and ignore it!!

    People who have no consideration for others.

    People merging onto a highway and forget they have to yield to you and get mad when you dont either slowdown or move over for them.

    Egomaniacs.

    People who rush to pull out infront of you when there is no one behind you then drive 10 mph under the speed limit.

    Arrogance.

    Along with pretty much everything else posted so far.

    Slow drivers in the left lane.

    people who stop at green lights.

    people who care more about how someone else lives thier life rather than how they live thier own.

    I have many but my biggest thing is when somebody praises somebody else for shooting big deer and say how amazing of a hunter that person is, I have a buddy that does this and makes me so mad.

    You should remove this from your list of things to care about.

    Really, if John Doe is heaping praise on Joe Blow for shooting a big deer.....................WGAS?

    This doesn't / shouldn't affect you at all. If it does, it makes you sound a bit jealous.

    Sitting on the couch only to discover the remote across the room on an end table.

    Pulling cereal or any food box for that matter from the pantry, only to discover it is empty inside.

    The gas station workers who try to befriend you by chatting while you buy a coke and gasoline, as if you care anything at all about their life story.

    Gay guys.

    People who walk into movie theaters loudly or draw attention to themselves.

    5' nothing guys acting like they have something to prove due to their height.

    The muscled up hotheads who honestly walk around looking for things to set them off. No, I don't want to fight you over your shoes being untied.

    The loud obnoxious girl at the party who drinks two thimbles of beer and acts smashed the remainder of the night.

    Fat girls who wear revealing clothes, as if their denial makes up for the fact that NO ONE wants to see skin anywhere besides their face.

    The people who act as if they are Jesus's godson and have this outstanding image about themselves in front of people, as they cheat on their girlfriends and get smashed behind the scenes.

    Pulling away from drive throughs realizing they shafted you two ketchup packets that life isn't complete without.

    Guys who talk about their sexual conquests all while looking like shreks father and you KNOW they haven't scored on anything above a 4.5, 5 tops, in their life, ever.

    Any self proclaimed titles.

    Lebron James followers claiming he is better than Kobe Bryant.

    People wearing College Basketball TShirts without being able to name even the starting lineup.

    Rushing to the toilet, barely making it in time and celebrating...only to turn and discover the toilet paper roll is empty with no replacement...and you are home alone.

    Guys who sit behind the ass end of their deer and perch the camera in the rack of the buck, trying to pass off a 110" deer as the next WR typical.

    Anyone who has an Obama bumper sticker.

    Women who dress sluttier than a prostitute that get offended if you look...If you don't want people to see your chest, don't wear a v neck showing 13" of cleavage.

    Most things I just notice that don't bother me, I typically only get bothered by the SLOW DRIVERS IN THE LEFT LANE.
