Empty container of xxxxxxx left in the xxxxxxx versus thrown away and a note to buy more.

You fill in the blanks.

p.s. I do it all the time. :)

Restaurant employees that say "No Problem" instead of "My pleasure" and "You Guys" when its a man and woman instead of "You Folks".....I deduct $1 from their tip.

Brad - milk?

Coming to a complete stop in order to make a right turn.

two lanes merging into one.. the sign warns everyone to merge. as people in the right hand lane signal to merge into the left lane, there's always one pigger who jumps out of the left hand lane, flies up the right hand lane and jumps back into the left hand lane at the last second (without signalling, of course)...guy in front is afraid to tap his brakes, the guy in back has to slam on his brakes and what is the net gain for the pigger? 5 car lengths, or 10 seconds real time.

Commuters leaving the Arlington Park train station in the evening who think they are professional race car drivers running a race. All trying to beat the next car or train out of the lot. Tailgating the cars in front of them to push them along faster. Turning right from a left turn lane. Running the red light to make a right turn on Northwest Highway.

Drivers who don't use their turn signal.

People who stand in or have conversations in doorways when others are trying to pass thru

Not filling up the Brita water pitcher.

Drivers who drive side by side, blocking anyone who wants to get by.

Table for 5 and you get a table for 4 with 5 chairs.
Travelers who set their cruise 1/2 mph faster than traffic who go into the "Hammer lane" and take 5 min to pass and return to turtle lane instead of passing quickly
Drivers who disregard bicyclist's right to the road.
Bartenders that can't even pour a good draft
Postal workers who can't read an address
Kosta's property on Forest and Wilson

People that fail to depress the accelerator in their car when they approach a hill

I have a few pet peeves, but I'm thinking about getting rid of them, cause they are starting to piss me off.

People who leave their garbage cans at the curb for three days. And, to expand upon Marcia's toilet paper complaint, it drives me crazy when the paper is under the roll. Everyone knows it's supposed to be OVER!

Drivers who think the speed limit doesn't apply to them, therefore giving them license to drive 10 or 15 mph over the speed limit without consequence. What's funny is I almost always end up catching up to these people at traffic lights.

People who start entering elevators before the people get out. And people who stop and look around at the top of escalators. Uh, sorry I bumped into you, but I'm literally being pushed in your direction.

1) Shopping carts left abandoned in parking lots, which inevitably end up crashing into a vehicle (like mine!). I don't think it would kill anyone to walk a few feet to put the carts into the corrals...Thanks for the dents!!!
2) Parking at the farthest point away from a store, only to return after errands, etc., to find that other cars have been wedged right up next to yours.

All of those totally oblivious drivers talking on their phones. They are distracted and it is a hazard.

"2) Parking at the farthest point away from a store, only to return after errands, etc., to find that other cars have been wedged right up next to yours"

I'll do that if you take 4 spaces with your car :-)

People that blow their nose with toilet tissue. The first thing I learned in the Air Force was to blow my noise with anything EXCEPT toilet tissue, the DI said it would prevent catching whatever lurks on the roll.

People who eat their M&Ms in sequence one color at a time.

women who bring their husbands and kids to the grccery store and block the isles

People who move from the South Side to the North Side and then hold garage sales to get rid of their White Sox stuff.

Who would buy White Sox stuff, even at a garage sale?

Turn signals are optional these days. What is up with that????

This is probably the pet peeve that irks me most. I have never, ever been asked to serve as judge in a Cupcake War. Not once.

I once held the door for a woman pushing a stroller. Her kid whipped his baby bottle at me. Caught me in the groin. I'm pretty sure it was a boy.

When they leave 1/16 of an inch of milk in the carton, in the fridge and then open the next gallon. And THEY are 21 and 24 years old....

Drivers who travel at 45 mph in a 55 mph zone, THEN when that speed drops to 35 mph - CONTINUE to travel at 45 mph! (Route 14 westbound, west of Kelsey into FRG west of Route 22.)

Approaching a 4-way stop sign intersection. A car on the cross street arrives at it's stop sign 5 seconds before you get to your stop sign.. The driver of the other car then sits there and waits to see if you're going to stop. Then they sit there and look at you to see if you're going to go through the intersection before they do. Again - they got to the intersection 5 seconds before you! What are they waiting for?!

People in grocery stores who stop with their cart right smack in the middle of he aisle, blocking while they look at products on the shelf. It's as if they never think that other people might also be shopping with a cart who would like to pass.

adult men who whine like little girls about stupid stuff.

People who don't drive the speed limit
People who are oblivious to what's going on around them
Arrogant Bicyclists who seem to think it's ok to take up half the road forcing traffic to come to a halt
People who don't control their obnoxious children
People who think it's ok to be rude just because they're having a bad day
People who blow their nose at the dinner table at a restaurant

I always wanted a pet peeve... but my parents said NO - until I was old enough to take care of it all by myself...

I think most of mine have been covered already - women who block the grocery aisle and KNOW they're doing it but can't be bothered to move for anyone...no turn indicators...the 4-way stop thing. If you stopped first, you go first. If you stop second you do NOT get to go before the person who was ahead of you. I just saw a guy stop literally three car lengths from the stop sign then go through - ahead of me and someone else who stopped AT the stop sign and were next to go. Drivers who have the right of way and don't go and wave you to go ahead of them. People behind you in line at the cash register that practically stick their cart up your wazoo.

My husband is guilty of the tp thing. We even have an open end holder where you only have to slide the roll on. That is just too much work for him. He will even grab a new roll and leave it atop the holder with the empty cardboard roll that has a shred of tp on it.

Husband leaves every drawer and cabinet fully open or closes them except for the last inch. Yes, he is a walking pet peeve.

People who think that just because they're in their car that they can park in a handicap parking spot.

Bicyclists who think they don't need to obey the rules of the road.. or bicyclists who go onto the road vs the bike path that is right next to them.. Than the motorcyclists who zip in and out of traffic or the ones who go JOY riding 10-15 below the speed limit...
