Maybe it's just me but I have been collecting pet peeves for a long time and find that I have no patience for impatient people.
Is there someplace they teach wait staff people to wait until I've just loaded my gaping maw with food to ask me how it is? I have been so tempted to just open my mouth and let the food fall out and say "not very good". They also teach them to hide and wait until your tea is exactly at the halfway point before sneaking up and filling it when you have the exact perfect balance of lemon and sweetness.
I don't know why this pisses me off but to counter it, I've begun responding with smart*** answers. When ever I go to the BOA, after I've completed the transaction, they ask "is their anything else I can do for you"? What the hell else could they do? I will respond with "could you drop by and clean my toilets? I hate doing that". That's my favorite because it only gets on of two responses, they laugh or smile or look at me with this "I have no idea how to respond to that" look on their face and I just drive or walk off.
People that yell just to be yelling. Kids do this when they first discover to yell. Why do people feel the need to try and out yell the music? Is the need for attention that strong?
Drunk women. This has always irritated me because I've found that women have the tendency to go overboard more than men and this is not a sexist comment but an observation. Too many forget to be ladies when they're drunk.
People that ask me "is that any good"? pointing to something I am buying at the market. I want to respond with "no, it tastes like lizard poop but I don't want to get used to things that actually taste good and get spoiled". Why in the hell would I be buying it? And they don't know what I think good is.
Parents that do not teach their children good table manners when they're dining out. This is the responsibility of every parent.
Parents using video games as time occupiers for their children. That is not parenting unless they're playing with them.
People that talk loudly on the cell phone. Reminds me of my Mamaw though, she would talk louder if it was long distance, used to crack me up.
Cell phones, in general, although I do appreciate the convenience, it has taken over society. People take videos of animals or people in need of help instead of helping. I see two people together and they're both on their phones, what can be so important that they're not communicating in person with each other? People are losing their communication skills and ability to relate to each other; they're becoming detached and disconnected. technology is supposed to help us, not own us.
