I know that. My mother makes me crazy when she is making noises like eating green peppers, but actually she is eating something completely different. I am wondering if she made that noise when eating ice cream.
When people use religious stuff to hate on people. As people pointed out, incorrect use of "their", "they're", "your", "you're", "to", "too"... My classmate (from Middle East) who said "people who don't have religion should leave the country(Canada) and go live under a sea or something." Getting ONE question wrong on a test. Everyone near me suddenly becoming my best friend because I have Stride gum. People who just copy my work without paying or something.. Nonsense autocorrect for Korean(changes the verbs). Cars with INTENSE bass that you can feel the thump from 80 metres away. Loud motorcycles. People who think they're so smart and tries to correct, but they're actually wrong. People who try out my iPod touch with sticky hands. People who use the term "Internet Explroer", "Explorer" or "Internet" for a web browser. A trash can full of OBVIOUS recyclables (like paper). Parents who jaywalk with their kids($250 fine in Edmonton! ) Same commercial repeated more than 3 times. That doesn't get attention! Mini Pop Kids ads. People who ask the same question on YouTube when it was answered just less than 3 comments below. Scam emails that go like "URGENT RESPOND" and "I have a profiling amount in an excess of Forty Million,Five Hundred Thousand USA Dollars(US$40.5M), which I seek you to accommodate for me. You will be rewarded
with 40% of the total sum for your partnership. " People who call me Chinese when I'm Korean-- just call me Asian if you're gonna call me Chinese.

That's actually a new feature by Facebook.
People who think I allow rapidleech on my free web host. If you want to use that, get a offshore dedicated server so your warez downloading won't effect anybody else. That is the most resource wasting script I have ever seen.
weak wifi signal and the high latency caused by this.
My ISP closing connections with nothing transfered for a minute which makes SSH unusable.

Haha no, nothing like celery or cheeto's. "Mushy" noises and smacking. The worst are people who breathe really hard through their nose when they are chewing with their mouth shut! My dad did this my entire life and it literally made me feel like I had a mental disease... I just wanted to start throwing things or scream or something. That has GOT to be in my top 5.
People who read out loud what they're typing in an email or letter.
When people take 20 napkins, use one, then throw them all away. Not really a pet peeve, just a waste.
When someone uses the butter to put on their toast, and leaves crumbs in the container.
People who don't cover their mouth while sneezing or coughing.
People that don't list prices on websites, stores, and infomercials.

When my parents come home from a long run/bike/swim and just linger around the house before taking a shower.
companies such as apple that say "best ever" ever takes into account past present and FUTURE! I saw this on a windows xp install too. Say yet, not ever.
That's awesome. Thanks for the link.

My dad does this constantly, no matter if we're watching the news, a football game, drama, movie, whatever. One of the most irritating things ever.FireStar said:

1. People who don't wash their hands after using the restroom. I don't care if you just took a piss, just wash your hands! Due to my job, I have to use public restrooms alot, and when I'm in a stall, guys come in, piss, and leave! Like I want to touch a door handle after you touched it with your filthy hands!
2. People who wear let the waist band of their pants sag below their butt. There is an invention that man kind calls a "belt". Please use one, it isn't difficult.
3. Sports fans that think I'm crazy for not liking their sports team, or any sports for that matter. I'm looking at you Cardinal fans! Just because I drive a taxi in St Louis doesn't mean I have to love your team! If you're really obnoxious about it, I'll say I love the Cubs to piss you off!
4. People who think it's ok to run across the street when the light is green! I dont care if you're in a hurry to see some guy swing at a small ball with a stick. I respect the law and you by stopping for the red lights. Do the same for me at the green lights! Also, you need to remember, my soft flesh is protected by a ton of metal, yours isn't!
5. Idiot tourist who come to St Louis. If you're lost, or unsure of where to go, please pull over to the side of the street and ask for directions! Don't just stop in the middle of the street! (I'm speaking to you, you dumb Arkansas people)I know the arch is pretty and all, but it's no reason to stop in the middle of Market St. and get out of your car (while you're still in the middle of the street) and take pictures of it!
6. People who make a right hand turn from the left hand lane, or vice versa. I have daily heart attacks due to this!
7. Drivers who text while driving. As well as talk on the phone while driving without a handsfree set. They're not expensive to purchase these days!
9. Drivers who pass me only to pull in front of me and slow down on the freeway!
10. Tailgaters in the right hand lane. If the nose of your car is too close to me, I'll gradually slow down. There is something called a fast lane.
11. Fat people who wear really skin tight clothing. Please cover up your rolls. I won't want to see the layers of crust between them.
12. College students who think they're better than me due to the reason that they're in school and I drive a cab.
13. People that ask me if the name on my cab license is really my name. If it wasn't I would have probably been reported and put in jail by now. I also hate it when you ask me where I'm from and expect me to say a foreign country. I'm sorry to disappoint you but I am born in the US! Just because my parents weren't doesn't mean I'm not American. I'm just as American as you are! And for the record, I don't know how to make bombs, unless you include those of flatulence. And, if anyone else asks me that question, I'm just going to kick you out of my cab. Have a little decency.
14. When I'm out of peanut butter and jelly.
Sorry for the rant, I just needed a place to vent. I have many more, but this should be plenty.
Oh, just one more. Please, I know I'm super sexy, and have awesome hair, but please don't touch me or my hair. I hate it when total strangers think it's ok to touch me. I don't know what kind of cooties you have!

I hate that!
Last week I went into the restroom stall to take a leak. Then I hear some freakin' jack-hole that comes in, pisses real quick, zips up immediately (probably dripped all over himself), and walks out. This ****ing nasty mofo works on the same floor as me. He touches the goddamn elevator buttons with those discusting hands. Yuck!
So I got this idea. There should be sensors in this restroom monitoring people who use the urinals or stalls and head out the door without going to the sink and turning on the water. And when someone doesn't wash up, there should be a camera to flash and take a picture of every culprit. The pictures should then be displayed on a monitor in the hall for everyone to see.
May Sound a little silly and would probably never happen, but if there were a system like this, the fear of shame would entice the washing of hands way more.
Cab drivers who can't shut their mouth and just drive.
You actually made me chuckle. Thanks, I needed it.
When somebody tells you a story or says something to you that is obviously a lie, but they think you are stupid enough to believe it.
For example:
(Back before 4.0 was released)
Friend: Wow, how'd you get those category things? Jailbreak?
Me: It's a beta of the new software update, version 4.0
Friend: Oh, yeah, I can make my own beta you know?
Me (In My Head): orly now?
Me (Out Loud): I'm sure you can...

I think the most common time for people to do it is in horror movies. "No, stupid, if there's a scary sound coming from the kitchen, you don't go towards the kitchen!" I hear this probably every time I see a horror movie form somebody. Or something similar.My dad does this constantly, no matter if we're watching the news, a football game, drama, movie, whatever. One of the most irritating things ever.
Most people's excuse is "I didn't pee on my hands." It's SO stupid.1. People who don't wash their hands after using the restroom. I don't care if you just took a piss, just wash your hands! Due to my job, I have to use public restrooms alot, and when I'm in a stall, guys come in, piss, and leave! Like I want to touch a door handle after you touched it with your filthy hands!

Yes, that's definitely gross.
This one is the most aggravating of them all! Oh, darn.
A little? I think more people should just have the common decency to make sure they wash their hands. Or someone will THREATEN to do this.
People who say "right/left hand side" to refer to the right/left side of any given object.
I apologize for my lack of grammar, but half of my schooling took place in the West Bank. The schools there did not really focus in English grammar. Would you please tell me what I should have said? The more I learn the better for me!
