Not a trivial annoyance, but people who run red lights. Like, my light is green and if I hadn't looked both ways before I pulled out into the intersection I would have gotten T-boned. It is becoming a serious issue up here. And it can be anything from a passenger car to a semi truck. I literally do look both ways before I drive even if my light is green. I get honked at sometimes but I don't care. Better to be careful than dead. I feel for the person who hits me because they ran a traffic light or stop sign and not because they're having a medical emergency.

When I was living in the Central Valley I had the most vivid dream that a Japanese Zero was strafing the ship I had been deployed on. I woke up to the sound of a crop duster making passes on a nearby field.

Yeah, that bastard farts in my office door one more time and I'm gonna punch him.

You live in North Carolina, right?  That state has the worst drivers of any state I've ever been in.

That gets me, too.   I call a major credit card company, and I have to put in all this information to move forward, and I finally get a real person, and they ask me for the exact same information I already entered.
When you put your clothes in the dryer and your wife or kids used it before you and don't clean the lint filter.
The slang term "Woke".. Stupid..
People who ask you "What do you think of..." and then when you get halfway into your first sentence, they interrupt you and go on for 15 minutes with their own opinion.
E-cigs. just smoke the real thing. Looks like your sucking on a robot [BLEEP].

edit: first two choices of words did not get filtered. I had to get more vulgar for the filter to catch it.
People who ride your [BLEEP] on a two lane road and there's 15 cars in front of you and you couldn't go faster if you wanted to.

That's when my foot starts easing up from the gas pedal.

Mine will migrate over the pedal on the left then for some reason push it to the floor.

That irritates me too. I find myself also easing off the gas in those cases. Why do people want to white knuckle it going at speeds up on your [BLEEP]? Makes a much calmer, safer and peaceful ride giving some distance. I've been in cars with people who get up on the car in front of them when they can't pass. I tell them " Hey, if you get close enough, maybe all those cars ahead will decide to go faster just for you!'
Cell phone lag in green light traffic lines.
Twist ties on bread loaves. I untwist it and make progress just to find that something strange has happened and I'm now tightening it. Reverse back the other way to undo it to find it's even tighter. It's the simple things that get me.
People walking towards you in crowds 4 or 5 across who refuse to move even a tiny bit to avoid running into you, especially when you're pushing a stroller. You weigh 100 pounds, I weigh 250, if we collide I'm not the one gonna fall down, but I will be the one blamed for it. Entitlement on display.
Getting older and still having to work outside when it's 108 degrees.

Had a pretty rough time today  Confused
When I get [BLEEP] at for pissing on the toilet seat, when in fact I didn't piss on the seat, it was the powerful jet of water during the flush that splashed water on the seat.
