I absolutely HATE when...

What is your biggest pet peeve?

The funny thing about pet peeves is they usually seem minor and inconsequential, but everyone has those couple of things that they genuinely despise, and often people do it without even realizing how much you may hate it.

I will start it off...
I hate when people say 'I told you so', especially when you never disagreed with them in the first place.
&
When people say "I literally" followed by something that absolutely did not 'literally' happen i.e. "I literally died laughing!"

I hate when you are in the checkout line at the supermarket, and the cashier keeps trying to make small talk while ringing up your stuff. "Oh, clam jerky is back in stock? I've never tried that. What do you make with that? Is it good? Kind of expensive, though. Oh, nice steaks too. And a lot of them! Are you having a party? Cause I'm not working this weekend, ha ha."

Please, Aunt Mary, just keep pushing the barcodes past the little window.

I bought some giant chewy sweet tarts at a C-store one day, Lady behind the counter said "are those chewy?" I deadpanned as best I could and said "No, I don't know why they call them that."
 
When every employee at a store asks if they can help you, except when you can't find something.

When people hit their brakes and slow down in areas that usually have lots of backed up traffic, when there isn't any traffic... Thereby causing traffic to be backed up.

I was checking out one day, and the cashier got to the six pack of shock top I was buying. She actually said, "Now, you don't really need this, do you?". I was sort of flabbergasted by that. I said something like "No, but I want it". It was the first time I'd ever purchased beer there, and I think I looked somewhat better than a homeless alcoholic, so I guess she was a teetotaler or something. I don't mind a little conversation if they keep things moving, but I draw the line at moral criticism of my purchases.

You should have said "No, but my pregnant wife does."
 
People that say "you know" or "know what I'm saying" after every damn thing they say.

People that talk or use their cell phone in the movie theater.

People that don't use their turn signals.
 
Close talkers. I cant stand how they just walk up and start talking inches away from my face. Makes me what to backhand them.
