Pet Peeves

Never thought I really had many pet peeves, and in the past I always used to answer "my sister', or 'yeah, my dog's name was Peeves' (never had a dog named that thought). However, thought about this recently, and I actually have more Pet Peeves than I realized.

1. Rush Hour Traffic
   The slow pace. People tailgating. Assholes cutting you off to gain them that single car length, in the hopes they get home faster. Lack of courtesy by other drivers. People refusing to wait another light cycle so they proceed to wait in the middle of the intersection and now the traffic the other way cannot go
   
   
2. People who hide in elevators and then rush out only after doors fully open
   Some elevators close pretty quick, so when you want on, you tend to be near the door ready to get in. Doors open, looks clear, so you start to get in only to almost be run over by the idiot who was hiding along the side and now decides they want out that the doors are fully opened and about to start to close again. I dunno... seems pretty logical to me to move you ass in front of the doors as they open, so you can signal your intent to leave the frakking elevator so people trying to get in aren't in your way.
   
   
3. Pedestrians who swim against the flow
   Seems a pretty standard rule for 2-way traffic that you stick to your right side, so oncoming foot traffic is always passing along your left side. Some people don't grasp this, and will pretend to be a salmon swimming upstream during mating season.
   
   
4. You are not the only person in the store so move your damned shopping cart out of everybody's way!
   I swear, there should be a license you need to test for in order to operate a shopping cart. If you are stopped in an aisle, please make sure your cart is not blocking traffic. Other people do need to shop too.
   
5. If you stop and gab, please move over
   I hate walking down a hall, aisleway, or other chokepoint only to come across a large group of people who decided to stop right in the middle to gab. Move the frakk over people, be mindful of your surroundings and how much of an annoyance you have no become to all those around you.

Wow... all my Pet Peeves are about dumb people, lol. I guess people piss me off
What are some of your Pet Peeves?
