As others have said: big things that really bug me are probably going to send this thread into bad places.
Little things that just hack me off (and you can tell that these behaviors have been bugging me for a while now, because I've NAMED most of them):
- Creepers. You stop at a red light, and the guy in front of you has stopped about 40 feet behind the car in front of *him*. Then, over the course of the minute that the light is red, every 10 second, he creeps up about 5 feet. What is the matter with you? Do you think your brakes stop working after 10 seconds, and you need to give them a rest?
- Gappers. These are like creepers, but they don't creep up. They just like to stop 2 car lengths away from the car in front of them.
- Cloggers. These are people who drive slowly in the left lane on the highway, and are oblivious to the fact that traffic is crawling up behind them. The left lane is for passing, people...don't camp in it, unless you're the fastest mofo on the road.
- Barnacles. People who sit next to you on a train (or bus) when you're sitting in the "inside" seat, and then don't move over to an empty seat when the train starts to empty. And, 90% of the time, barnacles are either big folks (who are thus crowding you anyway), or have bad B.O.
- Space hogs. People who park way over to one side of a parking space, making the next space over difficult or impossible to use. Even worse are the {insert VERY bad word} who intentionally park their expensive car across TWO spaces. They're just asking to get their precious Ferarri keyed. (Not that I would do that. I'm too LG.)
- Employees at restaurants who simply cannot get a custom order right. I'm a fussy eater, sorry. I do NOT want everything on my sandwich. I do NOT want pickles. Really! Please get my order correct!
- People who get to the front of the line at a fast-food restaurant, and then have NO IDEA what they want to order. How can it POSSIBLY take 5 minutes to simply place an order at Burger King? ^$$%%#!!!

He just sat there as the cars lined up behind us. I was ready to get out of the car and tell him to pull forward, but then someone came up the right hand turn lane and jumped in front of him to trigger the light. GRRRRRR! We sat there for over 5 min while people honked like mad.
