Conversely, drivers who match your speed as you try to merge. I'm speeding up or slowing down, you maintain your damn speed and I'll be fine.
Drivers who don't use blinkers, like come on people get your blinker fluid checked already.
Other drivers are such an easy topic for annoyances.
I just assume that anyone who doesn't use a turn signal bought his car in Miami, and that cars sold in Miami don't have turn signals.
My main annoyance is with drivers who drive slowly in the left lane. It's especially annoying when the driver then decides to pull across three lanes of traffic just before his right lane exit.
Let me add a non-driving one. I get annoyed at women who stand at a check out line doing nothing and then only after the final total do they start digging through their purse for a means of payment.

And each time is a new adventure in pain.
Using a company's online contact form to enquire about buying their products and never getting a reply from them.
Responding to people that want to buy your products should be your highest priority. Especially if you're in a niche market, it should be the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do before you go home.
Chigger bites suck. Especially when you're allergic. I wouldn't wish this on my ex-husband's now ex-girlfriend he cheated in me with. Believe me when I say that is saying something.
Panicky phone calls from people who want you to fix their problem and they don't even know what the problem is.
"Listen, with what you are telling me, I can't help you right now. The next time you call me, you are going to need to know X, Y and Z."
"But you need to fix this! NOWWWWWW!"

Refrigerator door ice dispensers that decide to shoot out a few pieces of ice after you remove the cup. My laziness gets the better of me and i try and kick it toward my dog's bowl and hope it melts before the fiancee finds it so i can blame it on him. The struggle is real.

These two examples are of people just not paying attention.
I read somewhere recently that communication is essentially broken because we no longer listen to understand, we listen to reply. Basically we already have a pre-programmed answer to certain mundane things such as greetings. When we're in a conversation about a subject we pretty much already know what we're going to say regardless of what the other person is saying so we're not even hearing each other anymore.
Not everyone is like this and no one is this way all the time, but a lot of times we are. It's a sad thing.
People who talk about starting a Message Board Golf Tournament and don't follow up. Oh, wait.
Yes, spiced rum does suck. Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon, though,...oops, wrong thread.

Four Roses sucks too.
Having to golf with a stranger because you only have 3 in your group.
I am annoyed by people who have disabled plates that don't use crutches or wheelchairs, or have a sitter. Especially in the Villages, every person might as well have a 'I'm over 65 and wealthy' plate.
Another thing that annoys me is people rushing to try and pull out in front of me (especially in TN) and then accelerating slow as heck to a speed less than the limit. Clearly they were not in a rush at all, but felt the need to cut me off, just to drive beneath the speed limit on a 2 lane highway.
Also anywhere that charges for bags. Especially Ca. Reducing liter my butt, they are just squeezing the population for more cash.
And finally, the USPS. I went to forward my mail from my parents house as they just sold it. Not a big deal, I haven't actually lived there for years now. But not thinking, I checked the 'family' instead of individual box (somehow thinking my son might get mail there even tho he never lived there and is 2 years old). Realizing my mistake I tryed to call the USPS and ask them to change it to individual. The rep tells me, no problem we can do that easily. Well 3 days later a rep sends an email that he can't change my address request from family to individual due to security reasons. So I try to do it online like he suggests. The website of course doesn't work. And I can't forward my parents mail to thier P.O. Box because I don't have a card that uses either my parents old address or the new P.O. Box. And the reps won't help me for 'security reasons.' So I have to call my parents and tell them they now have to reforward their mail because apparently you can never ever change a change of address request if you do it online and make even a small mistake (even tho they will claim you can do it by phone).
And that brings me to secondary complaint: Automated phone systems, I hate them. Especially ones like USPS that are constantly cutting you off or have ackward pauses.
