That door? That door right there? we don't use that as a door! What the fuck were you thinking, using that door, anyhow?
It's a fucking door people! The only purpose it serves in this universe is to allow me to walk through it during your hours of operation!
A five-gallon bottle of water on my right shoulder, a hook holding another five-gallon bottle in my left hand. I set the left-hand bottle down, right in front of the left-side door. I try open the right-side door, and it is locked. I now have to pick up the bottle (because it's in front of the unlocked door), move it over, and set it down so I can open the left-side door and pick the bottle back up for a second time.
This would not be necessary if a) both doors were unlocked, b) they had a handicap button that I could press with my hip, thus saving me the trouble of setting the bottle down, c) the guy standing right there on the other side of the door had just opened it for me in the first place.
Repeat numerous times throughout the course of the day.

Yeah, that pet peeve pretty much wrote itself, didn't it.

I think my new pet peeve is not understanding how these spambots know how to sign up and post on a forum. I even saw one of them create a poll on here.
I have a website for the book, complete with a forum. I think there's at least 100 members.....and they're all spambots. I like to pretend that I created that fake forum as a spambot trap.

Men taking things out of my god damn hands.
A beer I'm attempting to open, a cigarette lighter, my guitar amp (or anything heavyish), sound equipment!
I was running the sound at a small tea house show and some dude came up and said "I got it from here sweetheart, I know how to work this thing".
Thanks sir, but get your fucking hands off my PA.
I was carrying a video camera and tripod across campus to a lecture I had to tape for my job and when I get there some guy goes "Oh thanks for bringing this, I've got it from here." Oh no you don't asshole! I've got it from here!
Ok.

Looking something up online for research purposes or curiosity, and then having amazon try to sell me something related to it because they are probably keeping tabs on every site i visit.

This makes me want to kill. I stare at the offending individual with a look of pure hatred. What I think is even worse are people who need to vocalize their enjoyment of eating with "mmmmm's," and "ahhhhh's." So fucking disgusting. Oh, and the clanking of silverware on flatware, or, on one's own teeth. Fuck. I really, really, really, really, hate noisy eaters.
Early this morning, I put on my barely-civil face and asked The World's Worst Group Member to please chew her gum quietly while we prepared for our presentation. There may have been glowering on my part.
Like she needed to do
one more goddamn thing to make me hate her more.
Gum. I fucking hate gum. Chew with your friggin' mouth closed. Um, please.
The bulk of my semester will be over in six hours. I anticipate my humanity returning, but I may just morph into a
(apparently I can not be a pterodactyl 'cause of some recent creepy clip) grumpy T-Rex. This would still be an improvement on my current demeanor.

You know what I hate? Fullscreen Edition DVDs. Why do they make them, and who prefers them? You can view Widescreen Edition DVDs in fullscreen anyway.

when someone elses' pet peeve becomes your own.
it's not that you never noticed it before but now that someone has gone to the trouble of neurotisizing it to death you can't help but be sucked in.
