People who move or take your stuff without asking.
also people who wear shoes and put their feet on the couch!

Cold callers.
Lazy work colleagues. When the phone rings pick it up!
Drivers that stop to let cars pull out thinking they are being a good driver, without thinking about the 10 cars behind them all shoving on the brakes.
Nearly all teachers I have ever met. They always say the same things. I don't finish at 3:30 you know or I don't get all the holiday the kids do, and I have to bring marking home in the evenings.
Door to door sales people. Oh thank you for knocking on my door and disturbing me to see if I need any new windows. We don't have any windows at the back of the house at all, but I didn't no what to do about it. I've been waiting her for weeks hoping someone would knock on the door and sell me some (because I don't have a phone or a computer).
As you can probably tell, I'm quite an annoyed person!

Ugh, the people who pathetically said that the people who were complaining about the iOS 7 motion sickness thing were a waste of a human being pretty much. And the news reporters who just didn't get it and laughed it off.
That and the people who complain about Adobe Creative Cloud, yet have Netflix, Spotify, and probably subscribe to other stuff with no problem.

NOT using your turn signal. I swear I see this all the time. People just don't use it and it bugs the hell out of me.
People who will suicide out in front of you despite no one is behind me and then go slower than I was going.....
People who will cut you off when they change lanes on the highway despite them going slower than me and then don't speed up and take forever to pass the traffic in the right lane.

Telemarketers. Nothing worse than picking up the phone to a computer voice or worse yet a real voice. Especially when they will not let you get a word in edgewise. Usually only takes me a few seconds to hang up. Sometimes I will just pick up and set the phone down or straight out just hang up as soon as I answer.
People eating with open mouth ; where you can watch and listen to the first steps of food processing ... Ahhhhh !
People who don't have kids of their own (especially teachers) thinking they understand what parents go through. No offense to all the kidless out there but you have NO. IDEA. At least be honest and say you don't.
Had once a guy in the company, during lunch break at his desk: clip, clip, clip, ... clip, clip, clipclipclip
Here's a man who is going to sleep on the couch if his wife reads MR!
ms rice'roni (she goes by her maiden name)does not.
People who just won't get to the point when they want to ask you something. It's especially bad when they call you up and do it, interrupting whatever you were in the middle of.
"Hey. How you doing"?
"About alright. Kind of in the middle of watching a movie. What's up"?
"Nothing much. Listen. I need to ask you a favor".
"Okay".
"It's gonna be kinda complicated, and you don't have to do it if you don't want to, but it's really important, and I need it, and I know how you are about your stuff, so I'm kind of afraid to ask about this, but things are getting kinda bad, and I don't know anyone else to ask who can help me out with my situation, so I figured I'd try and see what you'd say, and..."
"GODDAMNIT! WHAT"?
"...can I borrow your weedeater"?
...why can't they just flat out say "hey, can I borrow your weedeater"? And they never do it over anything big. It's always something simple, which somehow makes it worse. If you're gonna make that big of a production out of asking a favor, it better be worth the 15 minutes I have to spend listening to you circle around the whole point of the conversation.
Also this...
It's even worse when they leave a voice mail stating "I need to get ahold of you IMMEDIATELY. This is IMPORTANT", and then they don't answer the phone for 3 hours, despite the fact they only JUST missed their call.
Really, I think anyone doing anything with a cellphone that extends beyond texting me gets on my nerves these days.
