And I hate that my favorite grocery store put in self service checkout and fired half of the checkout girls. I'd rather be served and not told what to do by some fucking machine.
I think grass should grow like the hair on your arm. Well, longer, but it should know when to stop. On the negative side, that would put lawnmower makers out of business.

I hate it when
I type out a decent size answer to a post, and hit submit, only to find my ISP goes down or the site is so busy it locks up showing the dreaded "Page cannot be fournd". Even if you hit back everything is gone.
I hate stubborn self-destructive people. One of them two has to go. Been there done that, like myself better now.
I hate when my kids take the last soda out of the fridge and leave the empty box, and don't even bother to put the next box in.
My all time favorite thing I hate is telemarketers calling me on my phone which I pay for, to waste my time. There is something backasswards about that and seriously wrong.

since moving to this god forsaken state of North Carolina..the single biggest pet peeve i'd had is that no one can drive!!!
I thought New Jersey was bad, but after being here a year, I now appreciate people's driving skills in NJ.
some examples of things that put me on the edge of road rage.
1) Stopping at a green light in order to make a right turn.
2) Stopping at a yeild sign in order to merge onto a highway. (that has a miles worth of merging space)
3) The fact that an inch of snow shuts the state down for a week.
(or until it melts, whichever comes first)
4) The fact that everyone has to run to the store to get milk, eggs, and bread at the slightest hint of a snow flurry.
5) The fact that I have to slow down the pace in which I speak in order for natives to catch all of the words.
I could go on, but this is enough to get the picture.

Rain. I'm so tired of rain.. Apparently all my sunshine went to Denmark on vacation or something. (Give it back already!)
And another thing.. Cashews are yucky. When I buy a can of Macadamia, Almond and Cashew Mix, there should not be a half can of cashews left when I'm done picking out the good stuff! Better yet, why don't you guys just sell me some Macadamia Almond mix.. Just get rid of the cashews..

Send them to us, we love them.
My pet hate ? The ever increasing habit of posters using unfathomable intitials as typing shortcuts. GGGrrrr, say what you mean, please, so that someone a few posts down the thread doesn't have to ask "what does that mean?" We're not a bloody secret society. Then there are those who eliminate the supposed shortcut by using capitilisation eg PYL/pyl, but don't get me started on that affectation.

Blame me, but it's not an affectation, nor an attempt to hand out secret decoder rings.incubus'_sub said:
i got pissed off trying to include everyone in an encompassing list only to be reminded i'd forgotten some label after moving way down the road to carpal tunnel syndrome just getting all the frickin' things down to start.
i managed to kill three birds with one stone: avoided the dreaded lifestyle label that pisses off some and doesn't include the dabblers, shortened any inclusive list to make the post readable, and skipped merrily past labels entirely.

Yep, I know it came from you and actually do understand your frustration with those who find it insulting somehow not to be labelled precisely. Sorry, was just an example which sprung to mind at the time, as there are now so many that I can't keep them straight. It was the capiltalisation that I labelled an affectation, particularly when using initials.
I'd better duck for cover now I suppose.

In my mind, only three groups exist: Those that direct, those that follow, and those that switch. Unfortunately, i don't have a programmable keyboard to get that out either.

Lies, dishonesty and leading people on.
I've watched it happen to friends of mine (who I couldn't stop because they wouldn't listen), and I've had it happen to me and was too blind to see it. Maybe that's why I'm so skeptical of motives and stories, nowadays.
Take for example, something like this message board. You may say something to me, but realize that I may possibly go into your post history to see if you're not being completely truthful with me. Very few people do I have trust in enough to accept their word on something important.

being a professional driver, i'd agree that 95% of the driving public...CAN'T DRIVE worth a shit.
There are simple, courteous, POSTED rules, that people just ignore, for instance...
"Slower Traffic Keep Right"... This does NOT mean drive 55mph in the center lane of a three lane highway, and this sign is not a courtesy sign, the shape, and color are the same as speed limit signs, therefor the LAW.
I could go on and on about this, but needless to say as a truck driver...4 wheel drivers really piss me off.
end of rant!

When you go through the drive-thru (yes, I know what happens at the drive-thru--lol) and their parting words are "Please have $3.49 ready at the first window." 
How about "Please have my food ready at the second window."
People who don't like North Carolina.

Oh, and what's my favorite? When you drive away from the window and they either haven't given you your whole order or they've given you the wrong order.
I hate fast food!!

This is wonderful. I never knew that ASL meant Age Sex Location - so I just never answered anybody. Now I still won't answer them but at least I know what they were asking - nosy bastards!
Pet Peeves: People who complain about their life/job/significant other but won't take any responsibility for changing things.
Oh... and I can't stand people who leave the turn signal light on for miles and miles and miles.

-Bad drivers.
-The Beastie Boys -- sorry all you people who like them, they make me grit my teeth big time.
-People who think they're always right. (know it alls)
-Abuse -- any kind.
-Overwhelming perfumes.
-People who take advantage of others.
The list could go on and on ..

A few of the high points--
Ancient drivers who should have had their licenses revoked 10 years ago.
People who can't get to the point. You'll lose me in the explanation.
Liars, cheaters, and fakes. That pretty well covers that category.
Barking dogs. Drives me out of my fucking mind. Put a muzzle on that mutt.
That'll do for now.

More pet peeves
People who don't use spell check and if they do, don't proof it for homonyms.
People who make a judgement with 100% conviction when they have 10% of the information.
Passive agressive behavior. If you have something to say, say it. Alluding to it is an insult to my intelligence and maturity.
And anything that says, "Some assembly required!"
