Pet Peeves, let's hear them.

Restaurant servers (IOW waiters, waitresses), that approach the table and immediately start spewing their rap regardless of whether the patrons are in conversation at the time, and destroying any conversation that may have been occurring thereby.
 
Biggest pet peeve? Not being able to write music. I just am terrible at it. Someone will take a riff I did and turn it into something amazing. That or not being able to find a band that wants to play often. I just want a group of musicians to grow with.

With you here on this and I'll add that when you have the menu open and are clearly still reading it and they come ask if you are ready to order. Hand are on the menu, face pointed at it, held up so you can still see your companion and discuss the choices. Really, it doesn't take "rocket appliances" to tell that I am not ready to order.
 
For the LAST time...the room will not heat up any faster if you set the thermostat at 90 degrees!!! And those who do always forget to turn it back down. In my working experience, it's always been women who do this. Do women really need it that warm?!
 
The most recent pebble in my shoe is how stoopid TV viewers are, and how desperate the networks are to keep viewership up.

There are a billion channels now, yet if a show doesn't get 10 million viewers a night, cancellation is inevidible. The "big four" hardly air anything worth watching and it seems that the good ones don't attract the people smart enough to have a huge cable package and can watch something else, but are usually too well done and "smart" to attract the typical lower-socioeconomic class TV watcher with rabbit ears.

Stupid FOX.:spit: First they screwed Firefly, now Almost Human is probably cancelled. This is the network that cancelled Family Guy then had to bring it back after Adult Swim and DVD sales rescussitated it.
 
Grammar nazis and people in generally who feel the need to correct others on insignificant details.

Those who think they are superior or smarter just because they have more education.

Christians who try to convert atheists and others who are not interested.

Christians and any others who think their beliefs should be made into laws to keep others from doing them (ie marriage, proabition, smoking laws)

Possibly biggest, people who get offended too easily/when offense wasn't meant/for dumb reason.

Oh and Illinois Nazis, I hate Illinois Nazis.
 
"Like" chicks. You know the ones, they speak in the following manner: "so I was all like, what the bleep-ever, then he like said like 'no YOU what the bleep ever' and I was like 'like no bleeping WAY!'! Can you like believe he like said that to me?".

Excuse me I have to go puke now....

You know...in the 80's, the chicks that said "like" were hot. But now it's used by uglies and hot women alike, so, like totally gag me with spoon, get your annoyance with this.

Sounds like you get offended pretty easily!
