Haven't done one of these in awhile, so while I am being annoyed here, I thought I would spread the joy!
Why is it that some people think that if you turn the thermostat down that the air conditioning will work better? This drives me crazy at work. They ask me to kick it down and I say "it is already blowing - it won't blow colder just because the degree is set colder". Yesterday, we had it set on 68 and it never got below 75 because the A/C doesn't work well here. I cannot fix that. I cannot make it cooler by setting it lower. It just doesn't work that way! We have been having this conversation for about 8 years since we moved into this building. I don't think it is that complicated. You set a temperature on the thermostat and the a/c blows until it reaches that temp. It can't make the unit blow colder. Is it actually possible that they don't comprehend this? OK, I feel better. How about other people's pet peeves???

Definitely for me, the biggest is people who interrupt you while you're talking.

People who insist on talking on their cell phone while being in the checkout line at the grocery store. Sometimes they don't even acknowledge the cashier (which is really rude) and then wait till everything is finished to begin fishing for their debit card - or worse....their checkbook!

People who get pets and then don't/won't take care of them. That is my biggest "pet" peeve!

If someone tailgates me, it only makes me want to drive even slower...and to match speeds with the slow driver in the next lane. I think I made a tailgater's head explode once doing that.
I also hate people who interrupt me. When I used to work in an inbound telemarketing company (people called me to buy the crap that's sold on tv) they would constantly interrupt me...usually when I was trying to answer their questions. I'd be giving them an answer to their question, and they'd start to yell at me about why I wasnt answering their questions fast enough...Because they were screaming at me, and I wasnt allowed to interrupt THEM! I had to wait for them to shut the heck up. Another pet peeve is children wearing those Wheelie shoes. I've been run into so many times in WalMart and other stores that I pretty much have given up being civil to the parents of these kids. The kids skate into me, and I get kvetched at for being in the way? I'm not the one rolling down the aisles with wheels in my shoes.

oh yeah, I was just reminded of this one...
People who play their car stereos so loud that it shakes my house and I can hear some of the words of the songs clearly...in my basement.

people who cut in front of you when you're driving or weave in and out of traffic
People who are driving so slowly as to be dangerous kids who intentionally step off the sidewalk and walk (make that appear to crawl) across the street defying you to move your car waiters/waitresses who remove your plate before you're done eating without asking first (I'm tempted to STAB THEM WITH MY FORK!!) food that spoils (like veggies) within a day or two of getting it home from the store kids that won't take no for an answer until you have to really yell at them

cell phones that won't ring! LOL!!
Frank I agree with you. Where do tailgaters think I am going to go when I am behind a long line of cars in a traffic jam? There are times when I feel like stopping and getting out and asking the person behind me that very question. Quote:
News reporters who ask dumb questions - perfect example - reporter asking homeowner who is watching their home burn to the ground: "how do you feel right now?" (my response: "I feel like punching your lights out for asking such an insensitive, moronic question. How do you think I feel?") Homeowner's response last night to reporter: "totally numb." We had a huge wild fire rip through Boise last night. 10 homes totally destroyed, another 20 unlivable. One life lost, 17 police officers hospitalized due to smoke inhalation while evacuating residents, and 1 firefighter hospitalized for injuries sustained during the fire. It looks like a war zone. Reporters were running around interviewing the evacuated residents asking stupid questions. That's always been my pet peeve. I was impressed with a lot of the residents who were refusing to talk to the reporters. This was all live feed last night.
