leily......next time you should tell him "this is the time we are leaving in order to get to dinner on time." And then, at THAT time.....put your coat on, get in the car, and drive away.....whether he's ready or not.
I have done this before... still hasn't sunk in... hopefully some day =)
I have a Cake Central pet peeve:
I hate it when somebody offers a tutorial or a recipe; but instead of posting it, they tell people they'll e-mail it to them ... then you read pages and pages and pages of "Please send it to me" "Me too please" "I'd like a copy too"

Well, you know, I have this divine recipe, but if you REALLY want it, send me an email (kidding)
probably easier to just post the tutorial or recipe, huh?
I think it would be definitely easier for the person offering it as well as the people who want it!
P.S. Does anybody have that spaghetti cake tutorial? I hate to jump on the 15-page thread to ask for it!
People who have to go outside to smoke but think that "outside" is right beside the door so you have to walk through the cloud of smoke anyway
Bad drivers! especially when i have a cake in the back! i call people 'idiot' so often when i'm driving that it's my three year olds favorite word (which i'm trying to break her of). and when the neighbors dog poops in my yard. i don't want to say something and seem rude, but enough is enough. and people who leave their cart in the middle of the aisle at the store. i just move them out of my way now, and sometimes they get so offended. i'm like, hello, don't leave it there in the first place!
That commercial with Sally Field talking about her friend who (shock! 
) has to set aside ONE DAY A WEEK to take some medication! (Gasp!)
Well, la dee dah! How freakin' busy are you that it just throws you into a tizzy to "set aside ONE DAY A WEEK" to take a lousy pill.
Oh my gosh....thank you for letting me vent about one! I'm sorry if someone already said this one...but I didn't read that far...
OK...picture this...you are pulling out of a parking lot to make a left turn, then someone zips up right beside you to make a right and pulls up farther than you so they can see around you, completely blocking YOUR view even though you were there FIRST!!!!
If I am making a right, I always position my vehicle toward the back of theirs so I can still see if a car is coming, but I don't block their view.
Oh.....this one really gets my blood boiling!!! 
My number one pet peve in the whole wide world is!
If you say you are going to do something you had better do it. People who go back on there word make me so mad I see red. If I comit to something a few weeks in advance & I really don't want to anymore I still do it out of prinicple.
Also driving with blinkers on for long distances drive me nuts
I hate it when people sing the national anthem at a local event and they change the notes! They add in their little ups and downs like they're something special. ... When Whitney Houston did it, it sounded great ... but she is a professional singer!
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.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Tuck and roll kids! Oh we have the people who don't want to wait in the carpool lines, so they pull kinda off to the side to drop their kids off, causing more traffic. Then they turn around in the middle of the road, causing more hold up. And the school sends out a notice in the newsletter every month.....please don't, but they do!!!
I hate, hate, hate feet. And floppy socks....ewwwww. And for people to touch me with their feet, especially if they have socks and even more if the socks are floppy. We were in Orlando for our Disney Vacation, and they had two older people swimming in the same pool as me with their socks on...I though I was going to convulse!
I'm a there, their, they're peever too. And oh wow, food/eating noises are almost more than I can handle. We have an English Bulldog, and I love her do death, but I almost have to leave the room when the poor thing eats. And if she goes to eat or drink while I am eating, I have to pick it up.
OH and children who get all flip mouthed and boss their parents. I have to control myself from saying things or knocking them in their sassy little mouths or knocking the parents in the head for allowing it. Slow people in the fast lane, and fast people who ride you in traffic when there's NO WHERE TO GO! And traffic in general. And the idiots who don't realize the speed limit is 25mph in my and everyone else's residential neighborhoods for a reason. I've been known to yell, step in front of cars, and/or throw things.
Whew, let me stop now!!!
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.
I'm killing myself on this one! Sounds like a total me moment. Mine left his guitar on the floor behind the computer one time, and as I was getting up in my dark room, I didn't see it and stepped on it and did a total cartoon stepping on the rake move. The neck popped me in my face and a string sliced my cheek like a cheese knife. ER run for stitches and I looked like I had been in one heck of a fight. Too bad the guitar won this one. So, um yeah, not putting things away, big pet peeve!!!
Have another one to add......getting a knock at the door at 6 am to do a last minute cake for 60!!!!!!!
Does this happen often?

Oh heck no!!! I'm evil at 6am! And I'd been even more so if it was for that!
I'm sure I may ruffle a few feathers with this one but.......
Subject lines that are just outrageous, but when you pop into the thread the opening line is "Now that I've got your attention..... what's a cake cardboard?"
I am very willing to help anyone with any question they have, but if they have to stoop to this kind of tactic to get their question looked at, then I'm sorry, but I get an attitude of (well, I can't use that phrase here) but pretty much, in my ever-so-never-humble opinion, they are on their own to find their answer.
I've run into this quite a few times and it just ticks me off! No one has to stoop to any kind of gimmick on here to get help .... we're all willing to help .... until you insult me with your "gimmick".
People on the highway that insist on riding my BUTT only to end up passing me and taking the same exit as me. Hello!!!!!!!!!!!! You didn't get very far you jerk!!!! 
I can not stand having my hair in my face that's why it's always up in a pony tail or some sort of clip.
I can not stand anyone touching my head unless it's my husband giving me a kiss then of course that's just fine with me but anyone who so much as gets close to me or lean over me better stay the heck away from my head. It's very annoying!!!!
Things being out of balance!!! It's an OCD thing for me but I can't stand things that are just not symetrical. I am very spacially oriented so I when I decorate, not just cakes, I have a set spot for something.
Oh and last but not least I DESPISED it when I worked retail and I merchandised something, some shmuck either another employee or a customer would come behind me and jack it up!!!!! 
Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I didn't want it that way I wouldn't have put it there AND to the customer it's not that hard to put something back where you got it. AAARGH!!!
Oh, another thing that I edited this to include.....my cat lounging all over my hands and keyboard as I sit at the computer! The little furry A$$!!!!
Darn that felt good! 
WHEW!!!!!

Incorrect spelling of words we all should have learned to spell by the time we were in fifth grade.
Using the wrong homophone (i.e. to, two, too; knead, need; they're, their, there...).
Bad grammar and incorrect puncutation or, worse, no punctuation at all.
PEOPLE WHO TYPE IN ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME FOR NO REASON.
Honestly, if a post is really poorly written, I give up on reading it (let alone answering it). I figure if someone doesn't care enough to express him or herself in a clear manner, then s/he doesn't really care about having anyone's assistance!
here are mine:
Peole who have to be constantly reassured and coddled
People who smoke in general but specifically right outside the door to an establishment - just because you want to kill yourself doesn't mean I want too!!
Negative people
People who don't treat animals like living, breathing things. You make a decision to get an animal - TAKE CARE OF IT!!
People who think they are automatically entitled to something instead of having to work for it just like the rest of us
I could go on and on
