People who've never read a driver's license but somehow passed the test
People who don't flush toilets. How difficult is that?
Bad manners
oops...manual, not license. I'm so glad y'all speak julliannese and knew what I meant :p
 
I have another one. Not that people use pencils much anymore, or that people use non-mechanical pencils much anymore (I prefer non-mechanical for when I draw), but...

I hate when a pencil's eraser gets tough and you can't erase with it. Or if you try, it drags on the paper and makes it dirty and makes it worse. I don't know why that bothers me so much.
 
People who get frustrated that their smart phone or tablet isn't as powerful/can't do the same stuff as a computer.
For crying out loud, get on the computer if ya wanna do more powerful stuff.

It's like trying to shovel the driveway with a spoon, and being upset the spoon isn't as powerful as a snow shovel.

JUST USE A SNOW SHOVEL!

I wonder if anyone else feels this way, but I hate it when you are fifty feet away from the door and someone is holding it open.....the issue is that I feel pressured to run to the door quickly and it drives me up the wall, why do they even bother???

I also hate:

Loud breathers
People who have 'productive coughs' and decide to clear their lungs right in public view
Being on the transit system during rush hour and someone has their backpack dug into me
 
Awwww, and I was thinking about asking you to adopt me!

stop confusing us with your relentless logic!!

argh!

I can't stand it when my university students call me "Mrs." I am not a Mrs. Anybody -- yet :) and I have a Ph.D. I don't insist that they call me "Dr." I'd rather they call me by my first name. Anything but "Mrs."!!! Argh!

When in class people call the instructor "teacher". You're not in the 2nd grade. They have an actual name.

When people lie or mislead and then claim they "didn't realize they were misleading you". Tell me, how can you accidentally lie?

In my Anatomy and Physiology class from last quarter, many students kept calling her Mrs. I eventually announced loudly in class, "The woman has a doctorate! Call her doctor!". She worked hard for her degree, we should respect her.
 
Heck, yes, Rachel! Especially in regards to reading and talking in movies. With reading it got to the point where I'd ask the person if they were genuinely interested in what I was reading (then I'd be happy to comply) or whether they were just trying to make small talk (boring). Some of their responses were rather funny.

-When people chew with their mouth open
-When people drive way under the speed limit. A couple MPH under is fine, but 10 under? 15 under? Really?!
-When people try to talk to me when I'm reading. This happened all the time when I was in high school. I mean I like talking to people, and if it's just a short sentence or two that's fine, but when I'm clearly involved with my book and you want to have an entire conversation on something that really isn't that important at the moment. Maybe I just get too into my books. :o
-People who constantly talk during movies, especially at the theaters.
-Overly competitive people. I'm somewhat competitive, but some people seriously need to chill.

Woah...this pet seems kind of peeved...

Oh, wait! Not what you meant? ^_~

(For all the Pet's Peeved by Trolling...this is for you!)
 
When people ask for your opinion or advice and get upset with it.

When people talk about themselves all the time.

Texting while visiting with someone or even worse having dinner with them.
