I think a lot of these pet peeves could be summed up as "people with no concept of other people's time"... not that I did not enjoy reading your examples =)

There was a new girl in the office and I know she overheard me talking to a coworker about picking up lunch so I asked if she wanted anything. She asked me to pick up soup and a sandwich for her... but couldn't tell me what soup or what sandwich.

I called her 2x times from Panera and even texted her a photo of the menu board but she didn't respond. I don't want to be that guy who takes hour and a half lunches so I left and sure enough she called as I was leaving the parking lot. No soup for you.

3. People who go to costco with their extended family and walk 5 wide. It doesn't need to be a family outing.
4. More costco - People who park their cart next to a pallet and then the people who park their cart next to the other cart and block the isle. Move your shit! Pay attention. WTF?
5. People who still use checks, especially in the 15 items or less lane. Isn't this supposed to be a express lane?
6. People who use self check out for a full shopping cart of groceries.

Bottom line. Anyone who slows me down.

Oh yeah, what do I win?

Here's a real first world problem for you.

Delta no longer has non stop flights from SFO to AMS. Well not one I can use all my Delta sky miles towards. Now I have to have a layover on my free flight as I take 2 weeks off, paid, to go to NL to listen to music for 4 days while I drink fancy beers and smoke legal things.

I stop at yellows because in Chicago there are camera's waiting to jack you with a ticket if you don't make it. Not worth $50+ to chance it.

Another annoying southern bible belt thing... These people down here who say: "Have blessed day." Yeah yeah I understand that you are trying to be spiritually righteous and that you are trying to be nice, but it just sounds corny.

• When people refer to text as "writing." Nope.
• When people ask me "how long did it take to grow that?" "Two weeks."
• Picking up the slack of others.
• People calling me by the wrong name. I've always found that extremely disrespectful for some reason. Am I the only one? I think this stems from a grandma always calling me cousin's names. "Bran-err-Rob-err-Jason."

people who cut in line at the counter inside of a gas station when i was clearly next in line. (its happened a few times)

people who dont know how to drive.

people who walk around thinking their shit doesnt smell just like mine. wipe that look off of your face, douche bag.

telling a co worker over and over to please call me TONY, and instead they refer to me as Anthony over and over.. ( the rest of my team has no problem referring to me as Tony, except for this one IDIOT at work. I dont know why, but i've never been a huge fan of the name Anthony)

i could go on and on... :evil: :evil:

Guys that have a conversation while at the urinal. I'm taking a piss....not conducting an interview.

People who reverse in parking lots. Once you pass it you lose it.

People who park in two spaces so their car doesn't get dinged. Oh your car is getting dinged, I promise.

Baristas who give me an iced coffee when I order an iced Americano and smugly tell me they're the same thing when I inquire.

Beggers with witty signs. Am I paying for a laugh or your lunch?

students who cross the street without looking before crossing and completely ignoring cars. :evil: You're not the fucking king of the road!!!

People who ride their bikes or skateboards on the sidewalk instead of the street, especially on crowded sidewalks.

Starbucks workers who add a shitload of milk foam or ice on my coffee so I get a lot less drink and a lot more crap.

People who throw away the excess of a smoothie instead of filling it to the top. I hate wasting food. (fruit in this case)

People who come in sick to work and get everyone else sick as a result. Then they always apologize for it, stay home.

Man, that's a tough one in this economy. Not all jobs have good sick time pay or are assholes about it. I totally understand these people coming in. I work at a hospital and people come in sick because if they call in they get a "point" then those rack up and they get write ups, etc. It's a system to encourage coming in sick so not to get BS from the boss. Lots of other places have similar policies.

PLUS if they were in a few days earlier and "not sick" they were still carrying so they already spread those germs. You've already gone so far to touch their disease. So meh.

This. I would also like to add those dudes who put their hand up on the wall to brace themselves. Unless you came in with a walker or crutches, why do you need to do this?

People who don't wash their hands in bathrooms. Yes I'm taking your photo and posting it on tumblr to alert the world what a gross slob you are.

I also can't stand the people on the street with clipboards harassing me for money to "save the children". Yes crackhead, I just watched you lose two teeth trying to talk to the last sucker who walked by, I'm not interested.

having the name brent, I've had to deal with this all my life. People have always called me brett. I dont even bother correcting them now. I just take a note "never talk to that person again.."
Took me forever for people to stop calling me brad and brett at work, fuckin douchebags...
you'd think a less common name would be more easily remembered.
even more douchey is that we had a temp last winter named Brett and the floor manager always called him Brent!
like, are you fuckin serious dude?!

I've always been baffled by people who think I said "Matt" after I clearly pronounced "Ben". Happens at least once every month.

Some people are just lazy, Brett.

Guys who walk into the bathroom, flush the urinal before handling their privates, followed by walking out without washing. Besides being disgusting these plague barrers are going to handle doorknobs, railings, eat dinner, shake hands with others, and if they have play slip those fingers inside a woman. - What the hell where you parents concerns when you were a child? Certainly not making you a civilized beast.

To top it off I learned in a blood borne pathagin class what my Grandmother always told me - women are far dirty then men.

And that is The Truth About De-evolution.
