People (co-workers) that say "it's not my job" when they are able to resolve the issue quicker than passing the buck.

You don't have to be great to get started, but you do have to get started to be great. -Lee J. Colan
I have a few:
open mouth chewers - this makes me almost go postal, it's SO GROSS!!
when people wear flip flops and drag their feet on the ground - pick up your heels!!
when people don't use their turning signals - it's as if they're the only ones on the road or they expect you to read their minds. And similar to this one, I hate it when police patrol cars don't bother signalling - how can they enforce regulations if they themselves won't??
dog owners who don't pick up after their dogs - gives responsible dog owners a bad rep.
Clothing companies, who despite the millions of us around, haven't seemed to grasp the fact that women can have an inseam of less than 30in. At 5' 2” I find buying trousers/jeans that are the right length hard work. Baggy cycling shorts, which I prefer, can end up looking like 3/4s on me. Oh, to be tall...

+++++1 on the open mouth chewers/noisy chewers - drives me up a wall. I've taken to wearing my headphones and listening to white noise in the cafeteria because so many people seem to do it.
Movie yakkers are totally irritating too - which is why when we go, its usually on a Wednesday, after the movie has been out for a few weeks. Having the movie theater all to yourself is bliss....

my pet peeve is motorists who are already mad at me and I didn't do anything wrong.

And today: dirty windows in my apartment. Just cleaned them and *love* to see the sunshine and trees through clear windows.
PS: Add to the list: people who wear Ugg boots and drag their feet. Visually (so ugg-ly) and audibly offensive.

I know everyone's busy, I'm busy too. But when you're talking to me on the phone I don't need to hear you flush. OTOH if I'm in the bathroom and the person in the next stall is talking, eww.
Make time to have a conversation in person, on the phone but out of the bathroom and out of the car too.

When I drive behind someone who, for no apparent reason, is going way slower than the posted speed limit. OR people who have stopped for the red light, are going to turn right, but don't do it on a red light. They wait for the light to turn green! Like...it's alright to turn right on a red light as long as there are no cars coming, no pedestrians in the crosswalk, etc.
