...People who block the entire supermarket aisle while searching for their one item...
OMG How could I have left this one out! Like they're the ONLY ONE in the store!
People who seem to not know how to run a credit card swiper at a check out and have to STOP and actually READ the machine at EVERY STEP before they FINALLY punch in their PIN (notice I didnt say "PIN Number"? 
) and even then, half the time they need the cashier to explain it. (you can't run one of these things? what planet have you been living on?)
People who think you have to wait until the cashier hits the total button before you can slide your card thru the card swiper. GIT-R-DUN!!!!!!!!
Okay, now I know I'm a bit compulsive on this one - but I cannot stand when people put their stuff on the checkout counter all "willy nilly". Come on folks, put the cans beside the cans, the boxes beside the boxes, the heavy stuff with the heavy stuff, meats with the meats. If the cashier has to dig through it all, it takes longer. Plus, if you put it all in order, it will be easier to put into your cabinets when you get home!

Lol! I am so anal at sorting my groceries at checkout. I have had cashiers comment or thank me many times for doing so. Especially when I use to be a couponholic.
I almost forgot my biggest pet peeve....DIRTY NAILS! ICK! If I see someone with gunk under their nails I almost become obsessive watching all the things they are touching so I can make a mental note on what to avoid like the plague.
great thread 
okay, here are a few off the top of my head:
people who cough without covering their mouth.
people who don't say thank you when you hold the door for them.
people who talk on their cell phones while driving.
soccer moms who feel the need to own gigantic SUVs or Hummers but don't know how to drive or park them.
This thread has me cracking up!!! (and also cringing, because I agree with so many of these pet peeves!!!!!)
I have another one to add to my previous list: people who go through the U-Scan lane (that has a 12-item limit) at the grocery store who have WAY MORE than 12 items and force me to stand there and wait when I have TWO items!!! It's always those same people who don't know how to operate the U-Scan, so the cashier ends up having to come over and help them, while I'm still standing there with my TWO items, with smoke coming out of my ears!!!!!!!! 
There's something almost worse than leaving empty cans, bottles, cartons, etc on the work surface instead of putting them in the bin... and that is people who, for example, will leave barely enough milk even to make a cup of tea, in the bottom of a 4 pint milk container, rather than rinse it out and put in in the recycling bin... or leave one dessicated slice of ham or cheese in a pack, in the fridge rather than throw it out...
How about people who don't use blinkers. My rant is always, "The blinker must have been optional in their car." When you are already exceeding the speed limit and the car behind you wants to hop in your trunk. People who use the emergency lane in a traffic jam. I almost got hit by a semi traveling 40 mph in that lane.
Have fun on the road today!
You are all way too funny! I agree with so many of these.
But I do admit to talking on my cell phone while driving....
LOL. I have to admit to placing my grocery items on the belt 'all willy nilly'. but, my reasoning for this is that if i put all the cans together, then the bagger puts them all in the SAME bag! thats a heavy bag to carry in to the house! so, thats my excuse. 
Oh, got a brand new one, just today --- school carpool lanes! Parents who think they've got to stop right in front of the school instead of moving to the very front of the drop off area because they're afraid little precious might have to walk a few extra steps. And then... little precious takes forever getting out of the car because mamma didn't have him ready to go. My kids know, the second we turn into the school and get to the stopping point in the lane, get the backpacks on, seatbelts off, and have your hand on the door because it's time to go.
....because it's time to go.
Time to go..... omg that's a big one! WHen I am ready to go it means now .... not after you get your shoes on, not after you find your coat, not after your hunt for your I-Pod..... NOW!! YOu knew we were leaving, you should have been ready.
Same with dinner. When I call you for dinner, that means it's ready NOW .... not "in a minute", not after you finish the email, not after your TV show is done.... the food is hot NOW and that's when I expect you to eat it! You know I've been cooking .... that is not the time to start a new project! I've spent all of this time cooking a hot meal .... you ARE going to respect that and come to the table when it's ready!
(BTW ..... My husband's pet peeve is impatient wives!)
if i put all the cans together, then the bagger puts them all in the SAME bag! thats a heavy bag to carry in to the house!
That's one of mine! I always 'sort' my groceries when I put them on the counter, but the baggers are all teenage guys who must have never carried a bag of groceries in their lives! I bag my own groceries now whenever I can, or if I can't and I pick up a bag that is too heavy, I will re-bag it right then and there. I have had them load bags so heavy that the handle breaks, then they give me the bag with a broken handle!! 
Or a big hole in the side! 
I DO have to get these into my house, you know...
(BTW ..... My husband's pet peeve is impatient wives!)
Too funny! He must me related to my husband!
Oh, and for you willy nilly baggers - you can ask that they keep the can bags less heavy. Like I said, I know I'm a bit compulsive here, but I even keep my stuff in different piles grouped according to my cabinets - come home, bag goes in front of the corresponding cabinet, kids put them up, no confusion.
Yes DOUG! The whole "well/good" thing gets me too.
"how does it taste?" (response SHOULD BE "It tastes GOOD)
"How are you feeling?" (Response should be "I'm feeling WELL)
Although.....when asked "how ARE YOU?"
I guess it could be correct to respond with either "I am good," or "I am well." (good describing the kind of person you are, and well describing how you feel).
Too long, I know!
And Lana.....I do the same thing at the checkout. Even organize it in my cart beforehand. Is that crazy?
Oh....and one last pet peeve - I hate...ABOSLUTELY HATE it when you make plans with friends only to have them cancel out at the VERY LAST POSSIBLE minute. I know a few people like this (although I don't really consider them friends). I've learned to not make plans when they call to get together....because each and every time, they will cancel last minute. So, I'm always busy when they call now.
(AND IF YOU'RE READING THIS.....YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!!) 
I can't bear it when I notice proper printed signs with apostrophe errors in them (sorry, I'm a teacher, can't help myself.)
I hate it when I'm queueing to buy something and the person having there items checked out is asked to pay and they start looking for their wallet - as if they didn't realise they were going to be asked! Argh!
I don't like shy people either, this is really mean of me, but when there's really shy people at parties I feel compelled to help them out by talking to them and trying to include them - they wreck the party for me as I spend my whole time worrying about them.
I have lived many places, but have never seen as many aggressive drivers as there are here. As such, one of my BIGGEST pet peeves is the dimwit who rides my tail when there is a car in front of me. Riding my tail in general ticks me off, but if I've got someone in front of me, what am I supposed to do? Let me turn on my turbo boosters and fly over him?
I have dozens, but only time to write one at the moment.
Even organize it in my cart beforehand. Is that crazy?
I do this too! I always start with the cans and boxes then go to the bags. Boxes on one side, cans on the other, then the front is for milk, then the cold items I pick up last and put around the milk. LOL my BF had a hard time shopping with me the first few times. Now he just hands me the stuff and lets me pack the cart =) and I thought i was the only one.
Someone else touched on the subject of being ready NOW. Last weekend for the holidays was a good example. I told him [twodays in advance when we would have to leave and what time the family was eating (and my family eats when they say they are not 30-60 mins later) And at the time we were suppose to be leaving he was still puttin around and starting to get ready grrrr.
ok, that's mine for the day =) This is a good thread to let go some of that steam !
pet peeve....when you go to the bathroom in the dark and get stuck in the bowl because some body (not mentioning that it was a man) left the seat up!!!
or somebody always has to fan the covers at night AFTER he lets off some gas that he has complained about all night.
OR EVEN somebody putting back the tea pitcher in the fridge when there isn't even a 1/4 cup of it left..
oh i hate it when people have a private convo on there cell phone!! like this one time this girl was talking about her sex life on the phone!!?!!?! how crazy is that @ a grocery store???? also i hate it when people crack thier nuckles...UGH!!!
<3 Nat <3
So many peeves, so much anger. Feels good though. LOL
I get so aggrivated when I am trying to watch what I eat and all everyone does is talk about what and when we are going to eat for the next meal. I have to live on a special diet and when I say that I would rather not eat something, I am nagged to "Go ahead and just eat some." I do not want to explain why I can not eat certain foods.
Oh.....the whole leaving the toilet seat up in the dark. My DH did that not long after we were married, you think he would have learned w/ 4 older sisters. I got up, dropped ship, sat down, WAYYYYYYYYYY down, feet flew up, right one kicked the wall in front, breaking it in 3 places. 2am, wet butt, broken foot, REALLY mad wife, lots of time and $$$ spent in ER, DH who has NEVER EVER EVER forgotten to put the lid down in the last 20 years since.

Not to make light of your misery, but that is hillarious.
I cant believe nobody has thought of this one yet I hate it when my husband shaves and leaves his little hair's all over my bathroom sink gross. I will admitt that I annoy people because I have zero grammer puncuation or spelling skills unless I concentrate on it and I rarely have time to when im typing I guess I type the way I talk sorry all.
other pet peeves well everything most of you are saying I to organize my groceries I cant stand it when kids run wild in stores or when people take up the whole asile just pick up what you need and move along do you really need to examine every head of lettece oh and people who feel the need to have a conversation infront of the doors at a store therefore blocking the exit hello move.(can you tell i was shopping today?) people who can not stop trying to convince you that there way is the right way no matter how many times you say ok your right just to make them shut up. oh and teenagers I know its wrong to throw a blanket out there because there are good onces but for the most part they annoy me when there driving in the malls on there cell phones talking during movies have more make up on then tammy faye they have no volume control on themsleves I was just on a plane full of teenangers and after a 4 hour delay in kansas city listening to them yell and laugh and run around I was not happy about getting on a plane with them doing the same thing. ok that was to long and I have many more but I will stop. sorry.
TV commercials that tell me to have a "happy period!"
LMAO!!!!
TV commercials that tell me to have a "happy period!"
LOL, I agree with this one. It had to be a male behind that advertisement.
I hate sitting down for a meal and hearing about someones body functions. My MIL, FIL and Grandmother are horrible! I told my husband to shoot me when I turn 70 since it seems that it's the high light of the average day at that age in both our families. COME ON! I don't care!
Smacking food/gum
Toilet seat up was #1 but I broke hubby of that one.
DH not knowing where the laundry hamper is. "It's not behind the bathroom door my love"
Tailgaters (usually get an improper wave through the back window)
yadah...yadah...yadah... List can go on and on but the worst one I have has to be being asked if I know someone that is so and so's Aunt twice removed's cousin? 
And then being told about their personal life and medical conditions. MIL destroys me on this one.
Favorite prayer:
God keep your loving arms around me and your hand over my mouth
