I just don't like people who are impatient and adversarial, who would rather invite conflict than try to find a diplomatic situation. I try that at work, and thus far, I have many friends there. Others will be rude over minor things, and incite verbal spats over nothing. Like if there's a pallet of freight somewhere that someone is working on, but you need it moved, just say "I need to move this for a second to get at this shelf." And that's usually met with "Ok, go ahead." But some people will just come up to it, without a word, and move the pallet. Same action, but with no permission given. Stuff like that, people get mad over.
Impatience - this is on the road mainly that I don't like it. Driving maybe...20 miles to work (I do 16 each way). Your impatience may amount to maybe 2 minutes saved, at the possible cost of causing an accident and a life. If people were a little patient - like, the light changes green and the person ahead of you reacts in less than a microsecond, so you blow the horn and yell. Why? They glance back at the light, and go. Time lost, one second. So be patient, and be considerate.
Manner things though...hate it when people chew with their mouths open. I can't stand the sound of it.

Don't know about this one - I hold doors for people all the time, and I don't really expect a thank you. I tend to think of it as understood. Or at least a nod should get the point across. Saying "hello" all the time was never a habit for me either - I didn't talk much throughout my years in school, and if I did, it was only to people I knew well. Hello is to me like saying "I acknowledge that you exist" - I can do that without saying a word. I generally won't say hello if someone is talking, or actively engaged in something else. If they ask about it, I explain why. People who know me will begin to understand this.

I like to say "you
're welcome" to these people who don't say thank you, sends a pretty clear message.
What is welcome, and why should I have to be it?
Well, I hate it when the "popular" kids tend to pick on the "losers" of a group . . . it's the same with adults, I know
And they won't stop at the "losers" of the group - they find other groups to prey on. I was generally on the receiving end. I never took advice that was given to me - "beat him up!". Verbal remarks just never warranted physical violence, in my mind. And I never received physical violence, so none was warranted on that account either.

ok....what really, really annoys me:

If you're around a public restroom - and you see some dude just coming out of it zipping his stall up. (Outside the bathroom)
1)
You're in a public restroom and you see this sweaty guy going to the urinal taking a p*ss. You're just washing your hands or something.
You see the sweaty guy leaving the urinal w/o washing his hands, opening the exit door and leave.
On the door-knob now are the germs from his unwashed schlong which he just had in hands to p*ss....bon appetite
Even worse - bathroom stinks, someone in the stall for awhile, toilet flushes. And they still don't wash their hands. *shudder* hate to think about what else they might touch then.
Um, your salivia is one of the first lines of defense for your immune system. Contains some pretty toxic stuff for bacteria.
You sure? It's quite a haven for a significant number of bacteria.
One thing that really annoys the heck out of me is the mainlander male Chinese who go and spit their phlegm everywhere all over the ground without any regard for hygiene at all.
A few people over here in the US will spit on floors. I think they do it out of disrespect for the place. Or else they're just jerks.
3) People who think they are so important that they need to leave their cell phone on and even use it in libraries and during lectures and movies.
Movies reminds me - idiots that go to a movie for nothing more than to yell at it or make fun of it. We have Mystery Science Theater 3000 for a reason. It's appropriate (and funny) there, but in the theater, what'd be more funny would be for the hecklers to be thrown (literally) out of the theater.
Quick pet peeve here too:
would of != would've
could of != could've
should of != should've
They are contractions, not two separate words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, that's enough I guess.
