What are your pet peeves ?

For the people who don't know what pet peeves are "An irritating experience caused by others in which you cannot control". So basically small things that annoy you. The "little things that annoy you" thread inspired me for this one. Only this one is for things in RL not in BG. Mine are:
-when I pay in cash and I get my change and the person giving it to me puts the coins on top of the bills and I have to seperate it before I can put it in my wallet and in the meanwhile I'm holding up the whole queue in the store and everybody's giving me dirty looks and going "pfffffff" "
-when I'm walking in a hallway and there are only two people ( me and the other person ) and when we pass eachother they act like they don't see me. And I'm just like at least nod or something.
-when I wash my hands in public and there is a hand dryer but it's like the weakest ever
-when people use too long hashtags, like please do not write a Harry Potter novel in your hashtag.
-the little skin at your nail and you try to rip it off or peel it off and it just keeps coming back and it hurts like hell
-when you're telling a story and someone interrupts you and goes " ow sorry sorry " and then they continue their story . That's so rude.
-when people wear sunglasses inside
-I hate when someone bumps into you and don't apologize, they just look at you like you've punched them in the face
-when I miss your call and I call you right back and you don't pick up.
- when you hold the door for someone and they don't say thank you
So I'm just curious what are your pet peeves ?

- ...Especially in places when it is clearly forbidden
- My occasional insomnia
- Being looked down on
- Listening to discussion of two or more people that are speaking at the same time. Mainly because it's fruitless and I cannot understand a thing.
- People, who are not keeping their promises
- Standing in a queue for a long ammount of time, because the person who is standing first is, for example, gossiping atm.
- When someone is entering my room without knocking at first
- Majority of YouTube community is annoying
- Traveling by a bus.
- And many more
Along with...
-When I just open my till at the cash register, and the first customer tries to pay with a hundred dollar bill. Bonus irritation if they're buying something super trivial like a piece of candy.
-When my hair gets super greasy and gross after one day of cleanliness.
-When you're walking in the rain and your face is all cold and damp, but the rest of you tucked inside your rain coat is super hot and sweaty.
-When you're on a climactic point in a video game and the power goes out. Or your laptop battery dies without warning you. Bonus rage if your last save was from two hours ago.
-When you're playing an online game and you get super massive lag and connection issues that kill you. Again. And again. And again.
The door thing is kinda 'meh' for me. Its polite to say thank you, or otherwise acknowledge, bit it can be awkward. I usually just say 'thanks', but I also say excuse me more than most.
On the whole, I generally take the angle that unless its really egregious, most annoyances aren't worth caring about. Life can be complicated enough without worrying about the way people hand you your change... if you live in the US, how much is chsnge even worth? Just accept quarters, I know few people other than me thst are comfortable paying exact change for anything anyways!
Perhaps I don't get annoyed often because I am the annoying one? I have spent +15$ in chsnge on many occasions... I have even bought a few pitchers of beer with nickels... but only on slow nights.
- Whenever somebody wants to talk to you and ask you questions about how school's going and stuff. If you're going to ask me something, ask me something I could care about.
- Stupid people.
- People in general (yup).
- When random people tell you what to do. I might be 15 but I do what I f***ing want to do (this doesn't include my parents or my family, nor teachers, just people who tell you to stop running in the street or other things).
- Whenever people are hypocrites. This makes me want to punch them and later tell how WRONG they were!
- Whenever people aren't polite, but not as much as other things, since basically everyone's an Orc these days (at least here, I feel more arrogant that what I really am (not too much change anyway XD) when I don't eat with my hands and never say please/thanks).
- When people tell you what to do when you're already doing so and they haven't noticed (MOOOOOOOM! I AM already showering!).
- (in Baldur's Gate) When you ran out of bolts... AND EVERY FREAKING ENEMY HAS 20 ARROWS BUT NO BOLTZ! BAD L00T! U STUPID KOBOLDS!!
- (in Baldur's Gate) The Firewine Bridge dungeon in general... The COBOL programmers Kobolds... The Kobolds Commanders... AND THE STUPID AMOUNT OF TRAPS IN PLACES WITH KOBOLDS! - When you accidentally un-plug your laptop's battery supply cable and it runs out of battery without warning you, turning off, and you think it's CPU has blown
It is also where An before H comes from, however, in your example A historian is more acceptable. A hour though is a no no. It's an hour or an herb.

Cell phones in public is my biggest pet peeve especially when you need to be communicating to someone in person, such as with a cashier. Makes me want to grab it from your hand and smash it.
Bicycles on sidewalks is another. If you are over 12, they belong on the road.
The guy with the Lightning Bolt scroll is usually the punchline, unless you can drop him before he starts casting.
- People who don't think that rules were made for them or that their 'Exceptions' are exceptional
- People who stalk you through the parking to get as CLOSE as possible to the entrance of the mall.... so they can go inside and walk around for a while (It's ALWAYS warm here)
- People who talk or use cell phones in the Movie theater
- People who invade my Dark Souls games and then say "if you didn't want that, play off line"
- People who hate New Star Trek for the very simple reason that they don't like change.
- People who claim that George Lucas "Ruined their childhood". Ok, Phantom Menace - Revenge of the Sith sucked. They are only MOVIES
- People who look down on you if you don't believe EXACTLY as they do (religion wise)
- People who take up more than one parking spot in the parking lot
- Telemarketers
2- Narcissism.
2- "la histoire" instead of l'histoire (hey, just kidding).
3- the spelling of "status quo" (I don't know why I cannot get used to it)
4- forumers who cannot count up to 5.
Also, people who simply talk over you as soon as something pops into their heads.
-People who give five minute long directions to get anywhere. Just give me the address plz, I can look it up.
People who assume things about me based on unrelated issues, such as my appearance or religious beliefs. I think people will find that I'm a cool enough guy, and I don't judge people based on religion. Hell, I don't even care what other people believe. That's their business, not mine.
On a related note, I DO care when certain televised members of my religion judge people who don't believe the same thing. It just makes people angry, and gives us a bad reputation. It doesn't help AT ALL.
Also, the cart thing posted by ronaldo.
Most things ending in "ist".
- People who think it is their God given right to let their animals bark and howl at 3am.
- People who train animals to hurt other people, for fun
-Cupboard doors left open
-People who make dumb jokes when they learn I'm a vegetarian, or launch into a long discussion of why they eat meat and would never give it up. I DON'T CARE I'm just explaining why I don't want one of your hot wings.
I don't mind a little cockiness if you can back it up, but idiocy + arrogance (is that ignorance?) is infuriating.
- Ignorant haters.
This category includes all sorts of people like racists, religious fanatics, political extremists (of all varieties) etc... It's okay to have an opinion, but if you really care about something, you should understand the opposing views too.
And the other thing that really annoys me is me and the way I'm too reserved to get mad about those things in real life and have to vent my frustration about it here.
