lol, you would think! As soon as I realize they stand next to me, I roll my eyes and think to my self "COME ON MAN!"
Indeed. So I'll change my sentence: TV manufacturers/retailers and technologically aware people[...].
It's just a car. It's gonna get dinged anyway.
You have three urinals in your bathroom? Oh, right; public restroom. They have stalls, ya know.Or even worse, when I'm in the bathroom, someone stands in the urinal right next to me. When there is one on the far end open
I hate that.
Oh, this, please. Very annoying.
Periods Can't stand them
I wasn't going to be very nice to the few posters above me.
"If you've got nothing nice to say, say nothing at all."
When somebody signs their post.
No need to add "- John" to the end of your post, we know you are John. Everybody can see your username and avatar right next to your post.

When somebody drinks all the Kool-Aid and doesn't bother to make more.
Did you mean to post this in the "Post your breakfast, lunch or dinner" thread?
When people say iTouch or 4G.
People going 20 in a 30 zone.
People talking while driving.
Chewing in quiet areas.
My dogs whining.
That should do it

When people don't return their carts to the designated cart collecting spaces at walmart/target/etc and leave them in the middle of a lot or in a parking space. Pisses me right off and if I ever see anyone commit this lazy act I let them know what I think about it.
This annoys me so much. Especially when the thing they said isn't even close to funny.
^^^This.
When people eat the last of something and just leave the empty box in the fridge/freezer/pantry.
Oh, don't get me started. I was lucky enough to be able to buy steak/chicken/etc while I was in college. I'd come back from my night classes (took night classes even though I was on campus and an undergrad, it afforded me the luxury of sleeping in every day. I can't tell you how many times I came home to my roommates cooking my Angus beef on their George Foreman.)
Then, to add insult to injury, it was MY George Foreman and I'd have to clean it after they left it sitting with all the fat burnt off on it.
I cannot wait for the day when I have my own place, sans roommate.
Okay, here's two more pet peeves of mine.
1. Seeing someone sell Apple computers either at Best Buy or the Apple Store who do NOT know how to network Windows 7 and OS X. And I do. And I don't work there.
2. ****ing employees of anything that park in front of the store they work at. Holy crap, that irritates me to no end.

Ah c'mon, Facebook Tetris is actually quite fun in the midst of boredom!
My current peeve especially with the holidays... are people who tailgate to get you to go faster. What? Is it because I'm asian?

"Block" is your friend. I have all of those blocked...so I don't even see when someone is using them. Except for the stupid ones that use status messages and photos (like "Horse Saga"). The only way to block those is to block the person....but then I couldn't follow her trainwreck of a life.
You can block the status messages by clicking the "x" next to it. Gives you the option to "Hide All" from those particular apps. My newsfeed has been non-existent as of late, especially with that stupid numbers game. People will do anything to get a compliment.
Oh, it's not MY apps doing it, as I have none. But some friends use apps that report their stuff using status messages or a photo in an album rather than the app reporting directly (and thus being able to block). I don't think you can hide those without hiding the person.
+1, but I'm biased as it's my job to round 'em up and bring 'em in.
Still, it's stupid when they leave the carts out when the return is just a short walk away. Some people will make an effort to throw them up on the curb (which at least gets them part out of the way), but what bothers me the most is when they actually take the cart almost all the the way to the return, and then basically slingshot it, sometimes in the right direction, sometimes not. I've seen other customer's cars damaged this way a lot, and even when they notice they've done this, the lot of them just walk faster and get in their cars and peel out of there. It really makes you dislike people when you work at a grocery store.
