What are your pet peeves?

I've seen a couple of mentions to smokers in here. It didn't bother me when I used to smoke socially, but now I kinda detest smoking.

Other than that I hate taxi drivers and electronic music.

Unfortunately when that's the mentality of the majority, everything begins to swiftly slide southwards...

It's about as bad as arm-chair activists.

Here's my list:

• Stupid people.
• Smokers who don't realize how much they stink, and bad smelling people in general.
• Electronic Arts.
• People who think getting drunk is something to aspire to.
• Hypocrites.
• Gullible people.
• People that drive in the yellow line when traffic is standing still.
• Inanimate objects that don't do what I want them to.

That's all I can think of for now. I'm sure I'll think of plenty more later.

This list, plus:
* Arrogant people.

I forgot to add LAG! Yeah its not a trait, but it gets to me so much I just wanna break things.

Meetings :mad: I have to go to one now

Haha - good luck...I also hate them.

I hate noisy neighbours...particularly ours that have to constantly work on their car and rev the crap out of it daily (when it idles it sounds like it needs some serious TLC though).
Also I hate those dudes that come along to sift through your trash on trash collection day...first they're pretty dangerous when they're hauling their load in the street - especially when it looks like a 1 ton load lol and then they also tend to leave half of the trash that was in your bin all over your pavement.

Plenty more but I'll just add one quick one just related to gaming: I hate games that require an always online connection when you're effectively playing what could have been released as single player content (Diablo III). Sure, not the end of the world but when you experience lag then it sucks (I love Path of Exile because it's free and plays great however with lag it just isn't fun to play) and also they get to force any and every update on you regardless of if you just wanted a quick solo session using the current version you have (Starcraft II seems to do this to me every time I just want to screw around a bit with the some of the solo campaign missions).

Dude, my neighbours win hands down. They own their own minibus taxi looking vehicle, with what can only be described as stadium concert sized speakers in it. When they play it, and do "bass tests" as they call it, my house windows rattle so much that I can't hear my TV at all, or hear anyone talk at all.

My pet peeve is when people bitch and moan about everything, and don't do anything about it.
