From people not saying thank you after you say God Bless You after a sneeze, to going to public rest room where people don't flush, to not getting a thank you from someone after holding an elevator, people are becoming ruder by the day. Are there any other pet peeves that bother you?
 
I hate rest rooms with automatic faucets that provide neither volume nor warmth.

I hate rest rooms with liquid soap that's rough on my hands (admittedly, that's most soap, and good God I don't want rest rooms with bars of soap).

I hate rest rooms with automatic hand dryers.

I hate rest rooms where the garbage can isn't right next to the door so that I can open the door with the paper towel and then chuck it in the garbage can.

Yeah, I'm obsessive compulsive about washing my hands. Could you tell?
 
It kills me that people treat public restrooms so badly. Almost all of them are filthy.

Oh and my personal pet peeve these days. Not getting what I ordered at the drive thru.

Stuart Scott---calling everyone brutha, cousin, a brutha's cousin, a cousin's brutha---or basically just anything he says.

Linda Cohn---the sight of........the hearing of.

Billy Packer---rinse, repeat-----rinse, repeat.

The thought of Linda Cohn's beav. .... shiver.

Seriously, bad food and service at a restaurant.
 
when the person in front of me at the grocery store check out waits until their groceries are totalled and then begin writing a check

And then the check is rejected.
 
I'm down to poor driving habits (going too slow in the fast lane, that jackass tailing me like I'm going 20 when I'm going 15 over, no turn signals, morbidly obse women giving blumpkins in plain sight, people who can't talk on cells and drive at the same time, etc., etc.) as true pet peeves.

Extremely fat people in very tiny cars. What's up with that?

Why would that bother you unless you are one of them?
 
Stupid drivers annoy the **** out of me. So do people who don't say 'excuse me' when they plow into you at the store, mall, etc.
 
-- People who don't say "excuse me" after belching or farting
-- Co-workers who fart while looking at the bulletin board that happens to be located right next to your desk and then walk away without saying anything
-- Drivers who insist on tailgating you in the left lane when you're already doing 10-15 over the speed limit
-- Restaurant food that's served lukewarm instead of hot
-- Automatic hand dryers in restrooms

My pet peeves:

people who don't say please when they ask for a favor.

wife eating all the good chocolate chunks out of the ice cream and leaving me the ****.

"boo-ya!"

typical coach-speak to a question.

Digger Phelps

Tailgaters (insider: use your windshield wiper fluid when on the expressway, and I GUARANTEE the offender will eventually back off).

big SUVs and the damn Hummer.

Bill O'Reilly.
 
People who don't use turn signals. They're free dammit!

People who don't accelerate to the highway's speed limit until they're actually half a mile on the interstate. It's called the entrance ramp, you gimps.

Women who want a man who communicates, but are actually worse communicators than men. In my experience, this covers virtually every woman I've known.

People who make everything a racial issue.
