As long as everyone in the room shuts their mouths as they eat, I'm having an ok day. When Johnny Jowls decides he needs to emulate a megaphone while cramming down his bucket of Doritos in faux-mayo sauce, I'm not having an ok day.

I always answer "Buddy the elf, what's your favorite color?". They usually get confused or hang up.
My biggest peeve is people who dont wash their hands after using the restroom. There is nothing worse than seeing someone come out of a stall, after leaving a stench that would strip paint off a wall, and walk right out the door. To me its utterly repulsive and disrespectful. I see this at my work all the time. Needless to say its one of the many reasons I dont participate in department potlucks
This is one of the reasons why I stay away from community food. Buffets and such. Fecal matter and boogers everywhere.
Pronouncing nuclear "nuke-yuh-ler". Look at the spelling. It's "nuke-lee-ar".
Saying "an historian" or "an historic moment" instead of "a historian" or "a historic moment". People who do this will argue that it's correct, and maybe it is, but I don't care. It's pretentious and annoying. Stop it.

Promotional pens. I understand that businesses can't spend too much on giveaway stuff, but most of the promo pens I've gotten have been awful. I'm sure there are way too many of these pieces of junk in landfills. Not a good way to represent a business. I'd rather just get your business card.
When horrible out of shape people make comments on the amount of food (or protein) I eat. "Isn't that bad for your heart?" In a professional environment I can't even respond because doing so would probably get me in deep trouble, possibly fired...
I dont know, Ive got some fantastic promotional pens from credit unions and financial institutions. Also a few good ones from hotels.
However, the company I work for gave us all pens, and they have to be the worst pens Ive ever used in my life.
I had a teacher that would say "an humongous" (pronounced you-mongus). He wasn't someone who would fall into the pretentious category though.
Women that emphasize wanting nothing more than having children.
Got ditched after 6 months because I didn't want bankruptcy in her goal to one-up her cousin who has six kids and 7 dogs by having 7 kids...
FML.

People who don't realize that I'm happy being an atheist, and that they don't need to feel sorry for me.
People who don't realize the difference between atheism and satanism.
People who think i sacrifice goats and small children because I listen to metal.
People who don't think I can like other genres of music because I like metal.
People who have the right of way and try to give it to you.
People who don't have the right of way but take it anyway.
People who put animals in clothes.
People who knock something that they have never tried.
People who claim that they know all about something when they don't know squat.
People who make up lies that do not benefit them at all. Lies that do not make anybody look any cooler. These are usually the same people who forget these lies.
To make a long list short, PEOPLE.
