here's a few more:
People who pop babies out one after another and never appreciating the blessing they've been given - you have to take a test to be able to operate a car but any idiot can have a child
People that work in this county (particularly retail with the publick) and don't speak ANY english. Hello!!!!
I'm probably going to get flamed for that last comment
...People that work in this county (particularly retail with the publick) and don't speak ANY english. Hello!!!!
In the words of Larry the Cable Guy: "If you're going to work in this country, the least you can do is learn to pronounce 'sammich'!" 
I hate it when people are late. It drives me crazy. If I'm not on time, I'm early.
I hate it when people just walk up and touch my pregnant belly!!!
I hate it when someone closes the cereal box, but not the bag inside and then puts it away!
I hate it when I stop at a pedestrian crossing(like in front of Wal-Mart) and then they walk across like a snail!
I hate it when my kids change clothes 10 times a day, and expect all of them to be washed!
I hate being around "sensitive people" or should I say my MIL!!!
I hate it when parents raise their children to be the center of the universe!
OK, I'm done!!!, Oh, that reminds me, I hate it when a child corrects an adult! A K-5 student once told me if you're done, you must be a turkey! Please excuse me, I'm finished now! Have a good day!
I hate it when people just walk up and touch my pregnant belly!!!
I'll tell ya how to stop that one! Reach out and squeeze their boob! I'm tellin' ya..... IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!
And when they act shocked, I just told them, I mean, uh, you just tell them "Well obviously you think it's ok to touch other people's body parts so I was just returning the affection!" 
I hate when my husband is up in the morning and I try to tell him something and he says "Whhhaat???, I'm not awake yet, tell me later"
No, you are standing,your eyes are open and you are breathing - THAT MEANS YOU ARE AWAKE!! My daughter is starting to do the same thing.
I work at a bank, and I HATE it when people bring in a bag full of crumpled up money and checks and expect me to do all the adding and straighten out all their stuff! I also hate being chewed out by people who CONSTANTLY have over-drawn accounts. It's not my fault you write checks on FUNDS YOU DON'T HAVE! 
Wow, I feel better! Thanks!

I can only imagine! Yikes! The things some people think they can get away with, it's amazing!!
That show "Married With Children." I haaate how she's always reaching out for affection and he's always putting her down. That's supposed to be funny? And jokes about prison rape. It's getting so common now it's even in kids' movies. As if it's ok to laugh about rape if it's happening to a guy. Stuff like that just isn't funny.

Oh do I feel you on this one......all of my step-sisters have 3 to 4 children each and I can't have children! I hate it and can't get past why me and not them. All their kids are just rotten and all three of my step-sisters do nothing but lay on the couch and bark orders at the kids and then have the nerve to complain about every little thing they do wrong...............THEY'RE CHILDREN, THEY HAVE TO DO THINGS WRONG IN ORDER TO LEARN WHAT'S RIGHT, especially when you don't teach them what not to do!!!
sorry.......I think that was my first offical rant!
Oh and I do have another pet peeve, people who are sitting still but breathing so loud. I just grosses me out. I don't want to hear you breath like that!
hmmmm... biggest pet peeves...
i am in agreement with a lot of you!
noisy chewing is really, REALLY gross - currently trying to teach my 4 yr old dd to keep her mouth shut when she chews.
inconsiderate drivers. i can be having a perfect day and all it takes is one knucklehead on my bumper to set me off! or someone not stopping at a stop sign.... or someone SLAMMING on their brakes to turn. and they didn't use their turn signal for what reason?!?!?!...
biggest pet peeve though.. i absolutely DETEST cigarette smoke. neighbors up the hill from us both smoke. (houses are a driveway's width apart) so when it's a beautiful have-your-windows-open breezy kinda day and i smell smoke i get really REALLY upset. i have to go around and close up my house so THEIR stench doesn't filter in and poison my family. ...oh, and we don't have a/c. i'd love to ask them if their insurance is going to cover chemo when someone in my family develops lung cancer from THEIR nasty addiction. .... i see that as no different then if they were to run me over in their car... their insurance would pay for bills then, so then why not cover my chemo too?!?!?! ok. i'm done... i get kinda worked up about this. drives me nuts everyday. can't wait til we can afford to move!
First, just want to say "hello" to indydebi... have read so many cool things about you in all the forums.
Pet Peaves? Hmmm: how much time do we have?
1. People who smoke around their kids, especially in cars
2. People who think breastfeeding is obscene - public or private (we know how to be discrete) I've had women tell me how wrong I am...
3. TEXT messaging... yes, I know- I need to get with the times.
4. Cell phones -except for emergencies (mainly because I don't really want to hear other people's personal calls when I'm out in public) AND, when I was 4 wks pregnant I was almost run off the road by a woman who was driving, talking on her cell, AND reading a book- what is wrong with people!
5. Hypocrites
6. blonde jokes, except when told by blondes
I'll stop- I was getting carried away- I'm a bit sleep deprived- but this was fun...
People who park in handicap parking places with no placard! Having a disabled child in my home I am way ticked by the things people do and ask. I don't mind kids but I mind adults.
Driving and reading, texting, talking on the phone, applying makeup.
to add to Debi's orignal post.... PIN number....
Elle
-Competitive moms
-loud cell phone talkers
-food smackers
-people who think that dark lip liner and light lipstick looks good (sorry)
-skinny women who complain about their weight
-ringing doorbells when the baby is asleep
On "garbage night" (otherwise known as Thursday evenings), when DH takes the trash bags out of the waste cans but doesn't replace the liner. As far as I'm concerned, the job isn't finished until you replace the liner.
The mispronunciation of words gets me, too. I have a co-worker who frequently uses the phrase "It's a moot point," but she pronounces it "myoot" as in rhyming with cute. It's moot...moooooooot - it rhymes with boot! Another guy who works down the hall, he likes to use the words "specific" and specifically" a lot, but somewhere along the way, he loses the initial "S" so it always ends up sounding like he's talking about that ocean next to California - Pacific this and Pacifically that...when I'm in a meeting with him I just cringe. DH always mispronounces the word "Vietnamese." He switches the N and the M around so it ends up sounding like Viet-Ma-Nese. I remind him that these people are not from Viet Man, they are from Viet Nam. Last one - people who mispronounce the word "nuclear" so that it sounds like "new-cue-lure." It's "new-clear" already!!!
Whew! I feel better!

Oh I cured that one in my house! I just threw the trash in there with no liner! When they complained about it, I said, "Well you didn't put a new one in so I thought that was how you wanted it done from now on!" (smile sweetly, bat eyelashes, cross arms and assume the "don't mess with me unless you want to lose AGAIN" stance!)
My pet peeve is when someone gets gas and goes inside to pay without pulling away from the gas tank, leaving someone waiting until they return!
This one is getting worse all the time.
Trying to find the ENGLISH directions on the back of a mix, or with the paper insert directions of a new gadget I just bought.
Why are we enabling non-english readers?
Gott im Himmel!...(That's German for "God in Heaven", my grandmother was forever saying that).

That wouldn't work with my DH. He'd just leave the trash in there until I emptied it.
Ok. here's another that may get me flamed but CC'ers who use incomplete subject lines:
"How do I......?"
"What is a ...... ?"
"Where can I find a ......?"
Just finish the sentence so we know what you are asking without having to into the thread. You don't have to "trick" us into reading your thread. We are more than happy to help .... just finish the sentence so we know what you need.
"How do I do gumpaste?" is one I have no expertise on so I would go on past it, but "How do I get BC smooth?" is one that I may be able to help with.
CC doesn't charge you per word ..... USE THEM!
I've tried leaving the garbage can liner out AND I've done the sweet smile, eyelash-bat routine, too. I've even put a stash of liners underneath the can so when he picks up the can - looky, looky! New liners! Hmmmm, what to do with all these liners???
Apparently, his answer is, "Nothing."

That was a burst-out-loud-laughing one!!
Debi...that thread title one is becoming one of mine.
Those darn drivers who want to make a left turn and start breaking when there's an actual turning lane they can get into. Then they sloooooooowly start to get over into the turning lane but drive with half their car in the turning lane and the other half still in your lane. *^&! Just get over already!!
People who flick lit cigarettes out their window.
That man who took his shopping cart FULL of groceries into the 10 items or less lane!
And cashiers who still check them out!
Those stupid styrofoam containers for takeout food. If you have anything that has liquid on it or in it, it ends up in the bag. Grrrrrr.
