What is your biggest pet peeve - business related or otherwise?
right now I am dealing with mine: Waiting on other people for long periods of time before I can move on.
Been done production of three hours, waiting for our graphics guy to touch up photos so I can leave. He's had the phots for five hours already. I do have patience but this is ****ing rediculous.

Slow drivers, left lane, interstate.  Get the **** over, you rude bastards!

Indeed. Left lane fast, right lane slow.

It is surprising how many people this concept is lost on
 
My biggest pet peeve is when my dog throws up on the carpet.

great handle, 8.  Take a break....

Haven't reached my destination yet.

Oh, and I think I speak for everyone when I say "Put your ****ing phone on vibrate when you're in the office."
 
When people say they will be ready or at a certain point at a certain time and they're not -- and don't call. After a 5-minute grace period.

My cat hurls on the carpet. She'll move from the hard floor to the carpet just to puke, damned thing. Not my biggest pet peeve though. I really hate people who get in the express lane with more than 15 items. Are they illiterate or something? It says 15 not 500, dammit!
 
I've been grumpy for two days now, so EVERYTHING is my pet peeve right now!! (And no, I can't even blame it on that time of month)

Aside from the slow driving in the left lane, my other big pet peeve is someone who pulls out in front of you (who is doing 60 mph) and then turns left about 100 yards down the road. Assclowns!
 
bad drivers, loud cell phones in the office, and any radical religious or political person who cannot think with an open mind. basically intolerant and inconsiderate people.
 
This will include darn near everyone but: people who turn into the wrong lane. Like if you're making a left handed turn and someone's coming from the other direction and making a right hand turn, the way most dip****s drive they'd crash right between the two lanes. If they'd just follow the damn law, they could both turn unharmed, into the nearest lane. It doesn't take that many more muscles to pull the big heavy wheel two more inches and turn just a hair tighter. Sadly, most Americans are too lazy to do it.

Also: My smelly ass, dirty ass, stupid ass, never-written-a-headline-without-a-pun dip**** of a cublical mate.

Third place: My girlfriend's roommate. Has a stupid job where she doesn't do ****, makes a ton more money than I do, but totally pisses it all away and is always broke. She pays like $50 extra per month to have a garage at her apartment, but never uses it because it's about 10 steps further than a free parking spot. Still pays though. A while back she got a brand spanking new car and still parked it right out there under the hot ass sun. Rain, hail, snow -- it doesn't matter. She has to walk 10 less steps, ya know. It's not my business I know, but it still drives me nuts.
 
Agreed Stupid.

A few more:
1. Brangelina
2. Loud, stupid-ass teenagers in movie theaters who can't turn their effin cellphones off (why I no longer go to many movies)
3. Stewart Scott
4. Going through drive-thrus and having your order jacked up (which causes you to have to park, go back in and have them fix it).
5. Phone and cable companies
 
-- People popping gum bubbles. Irritates me so much I have to count to 10.
-- The smell of bubble gum.
-- Anyone standing over your back while you're working.
-- Acronyms. Alphabet soup of bull****. Your mama gave you a name, I am not going to call you "TO."
