    People that park directly in front of stores (ie. on crosswalks, blocking the front door) because they or something they think they love is too big of a lazy douche to walk from an actual parking space.

    Not cool, dude. I happen to have Aspergers.

    Anyway, I have a LOT of pet peeves...

    -People who act like ******s on Xbox Live
    -People who act like ******s on the Internet in general
    -Idiots
    -People who stereotype other people (including Canadians. Not all Canucks are maple syrup-lovin', hockey-playin', mounty people that say "eh?" all the time. In fact, that's offensive, and I'm an American!)
    -The other people that drive other than myself (trust no other driver)
    -People that bitch, whine, and complain
    -Dutch people (don't ask why)
    -Rap music
    -People who don't have respect for people like me with a mental disability
    -My pilgrim ancestors who raped the Native Americans of their land and women
    -The news media
    -Smoking (sorry to those on the boards who smoke, I just can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke)
    -Fanboys AND fangirls who take their fandomness (not a word, but I might as well make one) too seriously
    -Small boobies
    -Leprachauns (I FUCKING HATE LEPRACHAUNS!)
    -Pop music
    -Boy band music
    -Racists
    -Country music
    -Emos
    -Goths
    -People who think they're ghetto, but they're not
    -Eminem
    -Scientologists
    -Disney for raping Power Rangers and being evil in general
    -Michael Bay (not even Transformers could make up for the shitfest that was Pearl Harbor)
    -Joel Schumacher
    -That Armstrong guy who does the whole Tour de France biz. What an ass.
    -Religious nuts (people who take their religion too seriously)
    -Carnival folk

    Hmmm...let's see, this could be interesting...

    1) Stupid people who see fit to alter their medication for no apparent reason, because you know, 'I know what my body can handle'
    2) People who insist on dubs instead of subs, because they can't read AND watch the action together. You have to be a genius in order to do both, apparently.
    3) Your\you're and the apparent use of "would of, could of, should of".
    4) People who walk in pairs on the sidewalk, taking up the entire space and walking like slowpokes, the only way around them being getting out on the street.
    5) Old people. If I could get a euro for every damn old person that tried to take my turn at a queue, pushed me, made a ruckus because the queue was not moving fast enough I'd probably be on par with Bill Gates at the moment.
    6) Civil services that you have to wait in queue for. Seriously, you're waiting for 2 hours just to get a paper signed and only then you can go to that other civil place to get whatever you want. All the while the cashier\civil servant takes his sweet time chatting on the phone, going out for tea or the likes.
    7) Teenage or roughly over teenage boys. Every girl should just bow to them, apparently. And that's just the fat ones.
    8) "Dude no shipping internationally sorry". You go to the same post office, carry the same package and it takes roughly the same amount of time as sending something domestically. You don't even pay the shipping cost yourself, damn it!
    9) Drunk people who apparently become George Clooney-lookalikes when they get drunk, trying to hit it with every single female that passes by. Regardless of whether their boyfriend is present or not.

    Can't think of more at the moment, but will probably do so in the following hours.

    Wow, a lot of angry people here... I fear I may have opened a can of worms here, but hopefully we can all play (fairly) Nicely...

    Another pet peeve that just came to me... Gossip pages in tabloids! Why do we have to have 2-3 pages of badly written drivel, going over EVERY SINGLE DETAIL of a so-called famous persons life, revealing that - Hold the fucking front page! - These celebrities do exactly the same things us regular mortals do!

    I don't care if Lily Allen is pissed up in another boozer in Camden! I don't care if Posh and Becks go shopping at Macy's! I don't care if Brad and Angelina are on the verge of splitting up! Stop shoving this crap down our throats!!

    I get frustrated waiting for porn to load.

    I don't like lines, either.

    I don't like people that cannot finish a sentence when talking.

    I am starting to dislike people that have graduated high school, and still cannot spell simple words correctly.

    When I'm talking to someone, often at work, and their phone rings, and they just fucking answer it, as if we were never talking. I'm sorry, but that is just rude.

    Especially when I am at someone's house to fix something for an appointment window. I ask them what kind of problems they're having, and in the middle of it, they answer their damned cell phone and walk out of the room without so much as an "excuse me." It tempts me to just leave and cancel their appointment every time.

    goes ditto for me.

    moar from me:
    -there's some people who can't go over the fact that I'm a Transformers fan.
    - also people who make fun of my TF tattoos. AT least mine are meaningful unlike their tribal tattoos.

    Single biggest Pet-Peeve

    People who chew loudly with their mouths open.
    I'm talking about the really annoying "SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!" kinda chewing.

    It's even worse if the guy's out of breath. :banghead: 

    Slow down & shut yer damn mouth!!! :mad 

    At a close 2nd, people who breathe really loudly through their nose while I'm trying to watch a movie. :stick:

    People talking or being fucktards at the movies. Happens EVERY time I go, which is actually rare these days, which pisses me off even more.

    People who assume they can talk to me however they please because I'm generally a genial and gregarious fellow. What they don't realise is that eventually I'm going to get bored with it and eat their face. Pricks.

    People talking shit about obese people without knowing the facts. I'm so fucking tired of hearing "just stop eating", "start running" and crap like that. People don't even take the time to ask why you're obese. Instead they just start talking shit to your face or come with "good advice". I HATE that.

    Also, people who won't ship internationally. Why the hell not??

    I got another one, girls who where tight pants with writing on the back and they all act and talk the same, then give you a dirty look if you look at them. WTF?
