Vices and Pet Peeves

We all them. Little things that just seem to get on our nerves. They're not always rational and sometimes they're quite trivial, but we just can't help ourselves.
What are the little things that, try as you might, always seem to get under your skin?

My most prominent pet peeve is dogs that bark at me from a mile away.
Ok, I exaggerate a bit, but I really hate when I'm minding my own business - maybe even in my own front yard - and a dog a few houses down is barking at me. I'm like WTF man?! I'm in my own yard - or at the very least a few houses down and not even headed in the direction of that house. C'mon!

Firstly, I sure would hate to be the owner of this type of dog, because it must be going off the hook 24/7.
Secondly, the owners are probably grown quite deaf to the dog's barking (since it's probably going off the hook 24/7) and guess what happens when Johnny the Homicidal Maniac is cutting through the window screen? Nothing, because the dog barks for no freakin reason all the time, and why would now be any different.

I think if I'm minding my own business - especially on my own land - and there's a neighbor's dog, or even worse, a stray, barking at me from a distance (or in the case of strays, even up close), I should have the right to shoot that dog. With a glock that I bought from a darkly colored windowless van from the inner city.

That's one of mine

....mine would have to be hair on my soap..... it just get's to me

soap=clean - hair=dirty, it just ticks me off, definatley not rational though, I'll admit it myself

I'll have to say old people behind the wheel. Whenever I'm in a rush to get out of the village, I seem to get stuck behind someone doing 20 (sometimes below) in a 40 zone. Old people should be retested once they hit a certain age, as I'm sure many of them are no longer safe to have control of a vehicle.

I think it is quite dangerous, as people get very irate being stuck behind someone not able to keep to the speed limit. They will try something stupid to get past and that is often when accidents happen.

Another pet peeve of mine are Air France pilots. When they call on the frequency, the are supposed to report their flight level. They are the only company guaranteed to forget every time -_- Causes a lot more RT load trying to coax the relevant information out of them.

My #1 pet peeve is my next door neighbor's dog. I hope to one day have a chance to see my dad beat the hell out of it if it tries to invade our territory.

My #2 pet peeve is my next door neighbors themselves. The daughter's a fat ugly pig and her dad is that same thing multiplied by a tenfold.

My #3 pet peeve is pretty much the same thing as KiraRin. Old people behind the wheel cause me to waste good gas.

People chit-chatting on their cell phones in the supermarket or other public places where it's rude, especially when they're talking loud

Don't get me wrong I've used my cell in the store, but only if I need to check to make sure I'm getting the right thing or not forgeting anythnig.... but people that can't stay off of their phones really annoy me
