Mine are 1- people who own there home for years and never painted inside the garage and you can see the spackle on the dry wall. ( in 30 plus years they never had 2 hours to paint ..gees) 2- people who drive 54 mph in the fast lane with their hands at 10 and 2 ( like their car is gona get away from them) and number 3 well there is a tie for 3- doctors who put MD on their plate so the whole world knows their a doctor, i guess its to stroke their ego, and also old men or women with no self esteem who buy high power sports cars and never go over 55 mph. ok now for your pet peevs.......

- People who cut in line and act like they didn't know that there's a bunch of folk who know the system. They look insulted when I YELL out YO!!
- Guys on the forums who partake in passarounds and don't post their thoughts, impressions, feelings on the passaround so others can gain!!!!
- Yeah and the usual car driving nits! We call them left lane Richards, here in Jersey. But we shorten it to Dicks. If you pass them on the left they speed up so you don't pass them in life, I guess

#1) Smokers who throw butts out the window while driving. What do you think, the world is your ashtray?
#2) Smokers who throw butts on the sidewalk or ground. What do you think, the world is your ashtray?
#3) Smokers who stand right outside the door of a building to smoke so that the smoke gets sucked into the building and so that anyone coming or going has to walk through this cloud.
#4) Smokers who go outside to smoke but who exhale that last puff after they've coming inside.

I'll have to think about it.....I'm usually a pretty easy-going guy - don't get too worked up about stuff....but boy, pp#1 up there sure can get my blood movin'.....yikes!
re:your pet peeve - #3
I kid you not when I say that they do it on purpose. They did their time in the fast-lane. They want you to envy them. It's more important to them to "be seen", then to leave you in the dust. Me? I'm a "leave-you-in-the-dust" type....

Vending machines that don't work.
1. Perfectly healthy people (usually well under 30) who park in the reserved handicap spots.
2. Perfectly healthy people who park in the reserved handicap spots, then always "was just running in for a minute" when I am waiting (with my daughter in her wheelchair) to jack them up about it.
3. People who have handicapped permits for other family members but use the handicapped spots when they don't have those family members with them.
All are truly the scum of the earth! My prayer for them is that some day they will also be lucky enough to be disabled so they can qualify for those spots.

When anyone tailgates me and doesn't pass within a reasonable amount of time, I start slowing down in 5 mph increments to see how seriously they want to tailgate. There are often some gestures and magic words involved also.

1> smokers... I smoked, I quit, I smoked again when I was the only non-smoker at work, and I'm done again now. Don't bitch about quitting, it's called willpower.
2> ppl who can't understand the speed limit isn't in meters an hour... 30 in a 50? 65 in a 90? It's called 105 in a 90, 53-60 in a 50... if you aren't doing that you will get tailgated and passed around here.
3> folks who seem like they need to yell from 5 feet away since they're deaf and assume everyone else must be. I finally got my sister away from this after yelling back in her face from 2 feet away. 4yrs of teaching drill with air cadets gave me a nice set of lungs.

1.) People who feel the need to size others up to determine where they stand in some asinine pecking order. I'd rather have nothing to do with such people whether or not I measure up to their standards. 
2.) People who hate all lawyers because don't you know we're all alike. And they actually feel like it's acceptable for them to express their nonsensical bile to me. I've had many professionals (sometimes many from one single profession) treat me like crap over the years, but I've never assigned their lowly behavior to the whole group. I don't want to have anything to do with these people either.
3.) People who react like morons when they see you with a knife or gun in your hands. Also, people who react like imbeciles when you even mention self-defense, knives, guns, etc...
4.) People who come to my home and think that they can treat my dogs like...well...dogs.
5.) People who are pretentious.
6.) HURRICANES.

These are in no particular order...
1. Bikers who think that because their bike can do 0-60 on one wheel in less than 4 seconds, that they should do so on public roads.
2. Bikers who park their bikes in the little yellow-lined space next to a handicapped space. You know, the extra width so that a wheelchair lift has room to operate, but can't because some Hell's Angel-wannabe 50 year old attorney's POS Harley is in the way?
3. Everything Gollnick said.
4. Cell phones in theaters.
5. Creationists
