What is your biggest pet peeve. I could crash this MB with all mine, but I'll say the one that inspires me right now:
People who walk around with a cell phone clipped to their belt. FUCK YOU!!!

People who drive poorly. This includes:
Poor (or non existant) lane discipline.
Not understanding (ignoring) right of way conventions.
Not dipping your headlights when facing another vehicle.
Haranguing other drivers (beeping horns, flashing lights, shouting, gesticulating etc.) when it was themselves who nearly caused a crash.
Driving dangerously slowly, especially on motorways. IMO it is far more dangerous to drive a car in the middle lane at 50mph than at 90mph in the outside lane.
Not edging letting other people out when they only want to cross your path (noty get int the same queue as you) and your stuck in a jam. I was once delayed for ten minutes by someone who wouldn't edge forwards literally six inches (despite there being two car lengths of space in front of them) to allow me into a lane that went off in another direction. In the end I just drove through the gap, scraping my wing mirror against her car.
Driving well below the speed limit and then when someone overtakes you, speeding up to match their speed so they can't get back in lane. This has happened to me twice, once it almost caused me to have a head on crash.
Tailgating. Whilst I dissapprove of it at all, doing it to someone who is already at or above the speed limit is completely stupid, especially if there is space to overtake.

LOL!! I hate cell phones. The irony is, I have a cell phone as my main phone. No land line. Free long distance all over North America, but shitty reception and dropped calls. It almost never leaves my house though. If I'm out, I don't want people to be able to find me.

I would rather walk around with a cell-phone strapped to my head (with chin-strap) than have one attached to my belt.

when i ask one person a question, and someone else nearby answers it for them - before the person i originally asks has a chance to think about it.
because usually the interrupter has no idea what i'm really asking. -_-
and when people look over your shoulder at your monitor. there was a thread about it :P

Yes,
Zeus: *People reading your code over your shoulder without permisson* now that's annoying!
I once asked someone who was reading some of my code over my shoulder (I only became aware he was there after a few minutes), "What the fuck are you doing?"
(NB I could have been failed had he copied my code as it would be viewed as plaigarism by our over enthusiastic lecturer... In fact, I think this is what happened on another occasiona as I was once told someone had submitted an identical bit of code for something, when I was sure no one had had access ot my disks etc.)
The guy just said, "Oh, I'm stuck I was just seeing how you did it..." as if it was acceptable to copy people's work verbatim and in the process potentially get them penalised without their permission.

when you buy something and they give you your change but put the note down first and then place the change on top.
invariably, i'm holding something in both hands anyway and i'm just left stuck.
I wanna throw it back!

I agree with Ceri on the bad drivers but I have to add another thing to that:
People who don't use their turn signals and just drift in and out of lanes. Fuck them.

Mine would be when I ask someone a question and they ask why
"Hey, what time do you get out of class?" "10, why"
why the fuck do you ask why? if I had a reason I would have said the reason why without you asking.

Another, more petty one: When you're in a fast food joint and you ask for "meal X with Coke" or "Meal X with Fanta"and they correct you saying, "So, meal x with Pepsi?" or "Meal X with Tango?"
Another one: People who criticise you spending an hour on the internet, talking to friends or even ordering goods, searching for information etc. calling it all "time wasting" yet think nothing of spending 3 hours a day watching TV comprising of a crap straight to TV film and two half hour soap operas.
Another one: People who go on club 18-30 holidays. I've yet to meet someone who has been on one that isn't a superficial, loudmouthed, amoral, ignorant dolt.
Another one: People who kill animals without reason. Don't get me wrong, I eat meat and I'm all for my mate killing the seagulls that wake him up at 4.00am every morning and shit in his drainpipes, blocking them up. But people who kill animals for fun rile me. Two of the front page headlines on my local newspaper this evening were regarding two unrelated animal killing incidents. In one a man bit the head off a kitten at a barbeque in front of some children and in another a man threw a dog out of the window of his car whilst doing 70mph on the motorway.
