As title says: well here are a few of mine!!!! Picking up a vehicle and gas tank on empty (usually the wife) As I said awhile back being addressed by strangers as dude, bub, honey etc. Garbage can over flowing, paper towel just the cardboard dowel left!!! Being asked to work on a machine that has dead batteries or run out of fuel so I cannot test it till those issues are resolved. And last for now, some one calling you for business (usually in pm) and talking to you like your there long lost buddy before they get to the subject.

My wife says I'm just one big collection of pet peeves, but from my point of view, they can all be traced to two sources: People who don't do what they say they're going to do and lazy people.
The first can be manifested in various ways: Tardiness. Procrastination. 2 day jobs that take a month and go triple the original budget. Shoddy workmanship.
Laziness shows in many ways too: Driving everywhere, even a few hundred feet. Stealing handicap parking spaces. Parking wherever a vehicle rolls to a stop. Leaving shopping carts in the middle of the lot when there's a corral 20 feet away. Failure to put stuff back where it belongs. Another source of shoddy workmanship. Sitting on your @$$ collecting welfare when jobs are going unfilled. Letting your kids raise themselves, or letting the school do it for you. Living in a complete ****hole because you're too lazy to clean up after yourself.
But don't get me started..."8^O

Wife going to garage sale and buying things that we do not need or have a place to put them. Sometime she just can't resist.
Posters who post pictures of item sideways or upside down. I click off as soon as I see this. Condition and price doesn't matter at that point.

One of my biggest is when someone that you don't know, have never met in your life, don't care if you meet them or not, that you didn't ask for advice or anything else tells you what is best for you, what you need to do to make your life better, more meaningful. I'll let it go at that.

My pet peeve is standing in a line at a fast food counter for several minutes and when the person in front of you is next, they haven't even thought about what they are going to order...Oh,let's see uuhmmm...what the he!! were they doing with their time while waiting in line?...there are some unconscious people in this world

Same at drive up line and in drive up line after someone orders they will not drive close to car ahead of them making it difficult for me to order. Sometimes they leave 30 or more feet between them and next car. Also after receiving order they fool around before pulling away from windo
People driving in left lane on interstate and will not get over to let people pass! Indiana has a new law saying you must get over to let people pass. Then theres the semis taking 10 miles to pass. You know your truck is governed so why try to pass ? This goes mostly for wally word and john boy hunt trucks!
People not knowing how to make LH turns, you don't turn in front of me! People driving with their high beams on, especially on a divided highway. Just because you are 45 feet to the left of me, doesn't mean they aren't bright! And, it is supposedly against the law to flash your lights. You might blind the other person, the guy with his high beams on! Thank you sir, may I have another! People that don't say excuse me, when they are in everyone else's way. People that buy a hundred lottery tickets in front of you with pocket change, not rolled, after paying for their groceries with a bridge card, then scratching off the tickets and cashing them out at the counter when there is 10 people in line that just need to pay for their gas. People that pull out in front of my truck, only to slow down and turn 250' farther down.

The worst for me is being in close proximity to a cigarette smoker, its not the person, its the darned smoke, not so prevalent today, but even following one on the street or sidewalk, just hate the smell of it, irritating beyond belief, makes one think of bad thoughts and I guess its well entrenched with me since I was younger. Back when people smoked in crowded places, a person passing by rubbed the lit end of one along my face, as he passed, he said something sarcastic about it after this black streak was left behind.' His face was connected with a left and he dropped where he stood, bouncer and barkeep never saw what happened and I just went about my business. Always hated these kinds of places anyways, friends dragged into going out as I recall.
Something about that kind of smoke, smells like a building on fire, just hate it, the smoke part of it.
I've learned, things like this and similar are just best to be avoided.
A close 2nd would be the 10 minute lottery ticket buyer in line at the convenience store, but.... I just take a breath and wait it out, funny how we are all wired different with things that are pet peeves. Best to get rid of pet peeves, petty little nonsense things and move on to something positive, some people will argue about the most inane things at time, who has time or room for that in this short iife we get ???

People who call to make sure you are at home. Tell me they are on there way here for a bale of hay. They live 5 minutes away and show up an hour later, after dark. And that's the only bale they buy all year!
Worst part is, the wife took that call so now I'm pi$$ed at her for letting them set my hours. This is not Wal-Mart!
Along with all the stuff mentioned above!

I keep getting calls from the NRA suggesting that it is time to renew my membership. When I explain to them that I haven't been a member since 1964, they say "Oh no, your last membership was 2009."
Then I ask why have I not received American Rifleman magazine? How they got my name and address after all these years I have no idea. I have bought an sold a number of guns during that time, but I haven't been an NRA member since 1964 when I got out of the Navy.
BTW when I relate to them that in the 1950's the NRA was a very strong lobby for gun safety and gun control, they flatly deny it. However, the fact is that they were a very strong advocate of controlling cheap "Saturday night specials" i.e. .25 cal. snub nose which sold for about $25 at the time.

Fawteen, I agree with you on most if not all of yours ,but in defence of the shopping cart thing. I have seen many older people that use the carts as a walker of sorts and have a hard time returning the cart. They will park next to a cart just to use it as a walker. However if you can walk ok then put the darn thing away. joe

People, who when following a car which is about to make a left hand turn, think it is their God given right to pull out into the oncoming traffic lane rather than wait for the car ahead to finish making it's turn.
I believe I am too. Years back when working up in northern NY, in a sparsely populated area, on a correctional facility project, I tried bowling for some recreation, but the fog of cigarette smoke was overwhelming. I ended up with really bad nose bleeds, sinus infections that would produce multi-color sheets of...... (no need to go further with that LOL). I realized then what it was. One evening in a place like that and it caused serious health problems for me. I quite bowling, and it was fun, but every single person in there smoked like feigns or addicts, the alleyway area was a total fog.
I eventually had one of these events where the nose bleed would not stop, not long after I was off that project and in NYC working. Was bent over looking in a file drawer, it let loose and would not stop. Girl in the office was in a panic when she saw me bleeding profusely, it soaked my shirt and I had tried to stop it. 10th precinct patrol car arrived, they got me into the back and I went for a ride with all the bells and whistles going to St Vincents Hospital. I am still thankful today for their help. Doc said you basically burst a small artery or something in there. ER had packed my nose like a cannon, I then walked many blocks to a specialist who then took me in as an emergency and cauterized it. I followed up with cat scans, never could figure out what it was, always blamed 2nd hand smoke, (no other habits, one I can think of that people snort)I still get them from further in, during the winter when the air is really dry, and cigarette smoke outside makes me cringe. We are fortunate that its outlawed in public places, some it does not bother, me I hate it with a passion and will do whatever necessary to get away from it. Long time friend buys tobacco, rolls his own, not a heavy smoker, that is tolerable, believe it or not, but any other kind bought in a store in packs, they just reek of burnt plastic to me.

Part of "people not doing what they say they will".
We sell our excess eggs when we have them. This time of year, with production down, they know to call before coming over.
They say "I'll be there there this morning".
Wife still believes them on occasion. I say "This ain't the supermarket. I may or not be here when you finally deign to show up." and then I go about my business.
One feller had the gall to get pissy with me when we weren't here when he showed up two days after he said he would. I told him the local grocery store had all the eggs he'd ever need. Haven't seen him since. Somehow, I'm bearing up...

When I leave the house to go anywhere, its for a purpose. That means I want to get there alive and in a reasonable amount of time. It is so aggravating when some knothead, at a stopsign 100 feet away, pulls out in front of me on the highway. I have to get on the brakes real hard to keep from rear ending them, then it takes them a mile to get up to speed. Or they stop to turn off. And there is nobody behind me! This really upsets me if I'm on my motorcycle!
Idiot smokers who think the world is their ashtray! This really upsets me if I'm on my motorcycle!
And my neighbor who for years dumped used motor oil in his driveway. I begged him to stop. But he told me I didn't know anything. When he got water from his well many years later, there was an oil sheen in it. He called me wanting to know why. The oil, thankfully hasn't shown up in my well........yet.

Without question, people who cannot or will not drive their cars according to the commonly accepted standards/laws of the community. Not finishing a left turn when the light turns amber, texting at red lights, harassing me when I am pulling equipment, etc etc etc. I drive 40 mile round trip nearly every day to the farm to work and I am half homicidal by the time I get to the end of it.
The reason I make the drive is because I have the CPA firm which nowadays is run from here. I closed the outside office years ago. My big peeve here is folks who say "I will pick up my tax return/accounting work after I drop the kids at school this morning...between 10 and 11 AM". So we sit around here waiting on them...no show. Sometimes they call another day but very often they just show up at the appointed time...just 2-3 days later...unexpected.
OK...one more...people who show up at the house to drop off their tax packets and immediately ask if they can use the bathroom. Usually the perp is male and the wife/daughters insist I clean the bathroom when they leave. If the perp is female it generally involves snooping in the nether regions of the house. Now there is a sign on the door stating no public restroom. A couple hundred strangers a year using your toilet can create "issues".

Number one on the list, rude, inconsiderate, aggressive, distracted drivers, 18 wheelers (or anyone) driving in the left lane! Seems to be the norm today, with increasing numbers.
Number two, the same caliber of people shopping! Standing in groups yacking, blocking the aisle, a full cart in the express line, last minute coupons they forgot about until the final total was rung up...
Number three, saturation advertising on TV. The most insultingly stupid commercials played ad-nausium! Do they really think I am going to buy their product? Hello Sonic, are you listening!!!

I got one that really gets to me it is I will leave my old cars in your back yard and then you will not hear from me. The other one is I need to barrow your car trailer. It happens all the time that car trailer was bought for farm equipment not cars. A person like me who lives in a very big town I need that trailer to move my equipment around this place. I did not buy it just for them.Brent
I have the "Rifleman" mags from that era. I think you are confusing the calls for an end to cheap, dangerous guns, guns that might well blow up on the first shot, with gun control. Even back in the 30's, 40's and 50"s the NRA was a strong proponent of gun rights as opposed to gun control as we know it.
Boy, some of you need to work on anger management...... :shock:
I only have a few:
Bad/rude drivers, including the ones who don't know what turn signal is and if they bump it by accident have to take their car in because they have a flashing light on their dash.
People who block isles in stores.
People who don't control their kids in a store or other public place.
People who never have enough money to take care of their kids but have enough for booze, tobacco products or lottery tickets or buy those items while on public assistance.
People who abuse their kids of wife.
People who cry about others paying their fair share of taxes when they haven't paid a dime in years.
I could go on but what's the point.

The people that apparently have nothing better to do with their time than buy lottery tickets and stand at the checkout scratching them off.
Major retailers that can't seem to grasp that a self opening door should OPEN when a person walking at a normal pace approaches the door, and then when told that the door doesn't open and that it's a safety issue can't seem to grasp that the whole world doesn't use a walker to get around.
Waiting in line at the auto parts store for 10 minutes and then having the clerk take a phone call just as I get there and spend another 10 minutes BSing with his pal.
Young store clerks that have no manners whatsoever, are covered in foul and disgusting tattoos, wearing clothing better suited to a rock concert or perhaps for selling themselves on the street, that smell worse than I do.
Townies that think the road past my farm is either a NASCAR racetrack, a very long, narrow landfill or a free fire zone.
Politicians and reporters that are obviously lying through their teeth that seem to think if they repeat a lie enough it will somehow become true.
Young people who seem to think someone owes them a living, a very, very good living, just because they can breath and talk.
Druggies and drunks.
People who always steer any conversation, no matter what the subject, back to themselves and what they are doing in life, as though their lives are somehow all that matters. This is not to be confused with people venting, especially farmers, the elderly, stay at home parents or other folks that work/live without a lot of outside human interacting. People need to vent to someone, I get that.
Internet know it all's that have never used, seen or known anyone that has used a specific item, whatever it may be that offer strong opinions that make absolutely no sense to anyone that actually has used the item. Top contenders in this area include discussion of buzzsaws, stickler type wood splitters, Gravely tractors, pressured gasoline "blow torches", any David Brown, BMC or Fordson tractor, radial arm saws, an adz, Spanish/Turkish/South American made guns, British automobiles, pretty much anything ever offered for sale at any discount retailer (think Harbor Freight, Northern Tool), older chainsaws w/o chain brakes, any discussion of sheep, goats or draft horses, any discussion of reloading ammunition or use of cast bullets, any discussion of fence maintenance in the snow belt by people from someplace where winter doesn't last 7-8 months.

Here are a couple.....
Folks that have several "invisible cars" in front of them at every stop light or intersection. PULL UP you idiots!!!! On occasion I have gone around those idiots and pulled into the space in front of them.
Folks that approach a main street from a side street at high speed and then slam the brakes at the last second. Foa a minute, it seems like they have no intention of stopping. Those will hear my horn - LOUDLY.
The incessant chirping/horn toots of people at stores locking their doors and setting their car alarms with their "clickers." OK, you have just announced to everyone in range that you have locked your car and probably set an alarm. Big deal. Did you know that every car with a "clicker" also has a switch on the door that does the SAME THING without making an announcement? Overall, it doesn't make much difference if you lock or not. If you leave an expensive item on the front seat, a thief will simply break a window to get it. And, the alarm system is just as useless. Too many times I have seen a car leaving the parking lot on the back of a flatbed tow truck with the alarm wailing away. Does anybody even notice? Or are they simply annoyed at the noise?
Lottery tickets. It should be MANDATORY for stores that sell them to have a SEPERATE counter and cashier for that. Nobody wants to wait while somebody picks out their numbers and the line extends out behind them.
Loud cell phone conversations in public. Need I say more??? Nobody wants to hear it.
Cologne. It STINKS!!!!!!! A little goes a long way. But, you didn't have to use the whole bottle at once!!
I could think of a lot more, but that might cause the servers to overflow if I were to keep going LOL.

A young Marine 2nd Lt walked into a head and was followed by an aged Gunnery Sgt. They both did their business and flushed. The Gunny started for the door and the young Looie says, "Gunnery Sgt, at Annapolis we were taught to wash our hands after using the head!" The Gunny replied, "Is that a fact sir? At Parris Island we were taught not to pee on our hands...."
People that ask me what my pet peeve is???
Seriously, that changes on a regular basis with whatever is going on. Right now it's the college alumni association soliciting money. It is a highly social group that I never associated with when I went to college and have no desire to do so now. The money not spent on social activities goes to sports, which I also object to. I would gladly give them some money if they would pay for my leukemia treatments, but that is not going to happen, so goodbye.

People that order food while on the phone. Food comes out they are still on the phone. Then complain about the food being cold.
People that bring me equipment to repair. Then start telling me how to do it.
People that yell at me for parking in the handicap zone. I have to point out the disabled vet plates to them.
I had better stop.

If I'm driving the speed limit, no one should be passing me. However I do drive in right lane but when I attempt pass, people in the left lane won't let me over so I can pass.

A lot of good posts. I let most everything go, especially after I retired, but:
People who criticize good hay. I refuse to sell no matter how much they beg. I tell them I can't stand the lawsuit if my hay kills their precious pet.
People who tell you someone else is looking at an item for sale and will be back soon. I fell for that one time when I was younger. Now I just tell them I won't fight anyone for it and walk away. They scramble and change their story pretty quick but I've had it with them at that point, unless they get snotty, then I offer them half what they wanted. Then we can part ways.

Had that happen a few years ago. Stopped to look at a tractor and from what the seller told me I decided that I didn't want it. He also told me he had several other people interested.Trying to be polite I made an excuse and started to walk back to the truck about 50 feet away. By the time I was in the truck he had dropped his asking price 3 times for a total of 500 dollars. I left him standing there.
