People who are inconsiderate towards others and backstabbers. Oh yeah, I also hate cowards who talk trash about other people and when confronted, they deny it. Those people REALLY piss me off.

- The phone rings. I pick it up and say, "Hello?" I get this recorded message that says, "You have an important message from (blah-blabee-dah). Please hold for our next available service representitive."

I hate that type of thing too. I get calls just about every night during dinner. I usually have to say hello a few times before they decide to pick up the phone and start their speech. I'm starting to get pretty rude and have even told some of them that they are too slow before I ask them to remove me from their calling list.

And now for my biggest driving pet peeve.
Why doesn't anyone use any common sense when driving?
I heard that there was a 30 car pile up here near Chicago this morning. I think it was near O'Hare. It snowed a little, (and I mean just a little), last night. Haven't these retards lived in the midwest most of their lives? Can't they remember how to drive when it's slick or in bad weather? Why do they forget every year?

A few weeks ago I saw an ambulance with all lights and sirens on come up to an intersection and stop behind a car. He sat there for about 30-45 seconds before the poor guy in front of him moved slightly over and into the intersection, even though he didn't really have anywhere to go.
What's the problem? Well, the ambulance had a lane open next to the car. He could have used the empty lane and driven through the intersection quickly, but the driver was a moron and instead wasted some possibly precious time. That wasted time could have meant the difference between life and death.

#1 Pet peeve, scourge of the gene pool convenience store workers who act as though you are being a huge hassle by coming in their store. They are to busy either, bitching to a co-worker about the boss,yakking on the phone to b/f..mom..other losers, chatting it up with the old man who is drinking coffee, or doing other crap to wait on you. They cant even put down the phone to ring you up. They are paying attention to the other thing, therefore taking them about 5 times as long to ring you up as it should. Or the other loser party says something and they have to stop while they are waiting on you, take a moment to re-group, and then ask you again what is was you wanted.

#2 Pet peeve, cellophane packaging for potato chip peanuts etc. that are impossible to open without dynamite.

#3 Pet peeve, everyones driving, save for my driving skills of course.

#4 Pet peeve, some peoples inability to apply common sense to even the simplest of things, you have a brain for some other reason than the keep the wind from whistling between your ears, use it.

I could go on and on.

People who chew/breath with their mouths open. Annoys the sh1t out of me. I can't stand being near some people when they chew gum or eat. People who turn on thier blinkers after they start moving to the new lane. People who think they are right and better by default.
