Memphis, TN USA I'd have to say I get most ruffled when someone is making me late to something. I like to be early for everything. Jesse, 24
Bowie, MD USA people who drive in the emergency lane and people who dont move out of the way for emergency vehicles. you should treat the emergency lanes/vehicles as you would want people to if the ambulence/firetruck/policeman were coming to YOUR aid. Steve, 29
Lake Worth, FL USA People (adults and children) who don't thank others and those lost in their own worlds that they literally bump and run into others. Felicia, 34

Dallas, TX USA Dirty Dishes Melodi, 19
Hlliard, OH USA Dishonesty Tina, 31
Medford, MA USA People who open new containers of milk or juice instead of finishing the old ones. And, professionally, people who have not grasped that computers do what you tell them to do, not what you meant to tell them to do. Jane, 60
West Linn, OR USA I am a member in good standing of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). I have taught our church's Doctrine class and feel I know a fair amount about the running of our church. My pet peeve is people who think they know all about Mormonism because they've read a book by a person who is NOT Mormon or they've seen a TV program filmed by anti-Mormons. My friends have told me things about my church that they have heard and SWEAR ARE THE TRUTH and refuse to believe me when I tell them that what they have heard is false...that it's not that way at all. But they refuse to believe me, a knowledgeable Latter-day Saint. No, it's easier and more fun to believe what an anti-Mormon says. This really bothers me and makes me angry just writing about it. Reba, 50
Rockville, MD USA People who yell about everything as if there's something they can say at that volume that they can't say at a more reasonable one, people who say 'could care less' when they mean 'couldn't,' people who don't realize that many people who don't like religion got enough of it when they were younger, people who don't realize that 'biggest' refers to just one, people who end every sentence in dot dot dot... Alias Irrelevante people that procrastinate Stephanie, 24
TX USA Being stuck in crowds, or behind a big group of slow-moving people. I've been calling my condition "claustro-angst," because crowds don't make me *afraid* as such. Kim, 30
New York, NY USA people who are "up themselves" Jade, 16
AUSTRALIA My biggest pet peeve is people who make assumptions on me based on appearances. Also, I don't like people telling me what's wrong with my life. Mick, 30
Chicago, IL USA I can't stand when I hold the door open for someone & they don't say "Thank You". That aggrevates me. Heidi, 26
Fort Madison, IA USA I probably shouldn't give names. . . Karen, 21
Marshelltown/Ames, IA USA My biggest peeve is people who refuse to see both sides of things, people that are so locked into their belief system that they refuse to see the good in other people's lifestyles or belief systems. Grrr! Maggie, 20
Sandwich, IL USA Drive to work and people who cut over from the left hand lane to get into the exit ramp. God forbid they wait in traffic like to rest of us. They just want to zip on over from the left lane without waiting like the rest of us.!!!! As you can tell this drives me crazy!! Janet, 42
E. Brunswick, NJ USA People that are really egotistical, people that lie, and people that constantly complain that their fat when the weigh pratically nothing. Dianne, 16
Oshawa, Ontario CANADA Not flushing the toilet. Laura, 35
Lowell, MA USA Great question but I have a list. I was going to have tailgaters at the top of the list but I've caught myself doing it if I'm really in a hurry and have some Sunday driver in front of me...sooo, not fair. How about grossly overweight folks who incessantly complain about it but do nothing to help themselves and spend a lifetime chalking it up to heredity. UGH. Another huge peeve of mine is cell phones in theaters. If you're waiting for a call that's THAT important, you shouldn't be at the theater. Even if you're a doctor for cripes sake, get a vibrating pager! That's enough for now...but I could go on for about a month and in fact I have created an entire webpage on this topic (with a bit of humor of course)! Fisch, 45
Preston, CT USA Order Jami, 27
Lowell, MA USA Friends who will diss you at school and ignore you, and then call you for help with homework... Jeremy, 13
Highlands Ranch, CO USA Disrespect and rudeness. I really can't stand it, whether it's directed to me or to someone else. I get really upset when I see someone pass a nun and not hold the door or something. Left over Catholic school girl in me I guess. No matter where I am, if I know them or not, I tell a sister hello, good morning, and does she need help carrying anything? The other side of that is people who are rude to wait staffs and retail workers. Grow up dammit and get a spine. Stop taking it out on the people who wait on you. Believe me, they are thinking the same thing about you when you pull that attitude.
