1. are mean to waiters
2. Ignore me when I'm trying to talk to them (Especially to fiddle with there cell phones)
3. Blasphemies to sound cool
4. People who think if they yell hard enough what they say will be true.
5. People who don't stop at stop streets.
I hate when kids ignore you when you talk to them.
I hate when parents treat their kids like gods.
I hate all the little gross things kids do (Not washing their hands after using the bathroom, but still wetting their hands and wiping it on the towel to make it look like they did is an example)
I hate when parents raise their kids in ways I consider wrong. My sister, having had a kid young, decided that she wasn't going to "restrain" her kid like our parents did. To him, there was no difference between "Adult stuff" and "Kid stuff". Reading glasses or long stem wine glasses were as toys to him as plushies and soccer balls. My aunt's kids yell be at her when she scowls them, and she finds this funny.
I hate unnecessary meanness. Even stuff like scams serve a purpose, you take money from someone, it's not "wasted". I got screwed over by my old landlord. She got me to pay an extra $400 by ******* me over. She gained nothing from it. She didn't pocket any of the money, and she could have just easily told me, in which case neither of us would have to pay anything. She just ****ed over my credit rating and cost me $400.
I have a lot to do with food (being germ aware lol). I don't like people who let a communal item (like the spoon to serve sauce) come in contact with their saliva. Like when you serve yourself sauce and then wipe the big spoon with your already used fork.
I hate when people pick out the "interesting" parts of a communal dish. Like if we have Caesar salad and you pick out bits of bacon to eat them. What You are broadcasting is that you are more important than the rest of us, who will only be getting what is in our plates.
I don't like people who constantly do not finish their plates. Especially if there isn't enough food for all. Same with people who give adult portions to kids when it is always much too much.
I dislike when people touch me without permission. I have quite... unusual hair, and people seem to think this gives them permission to touch it at any point. I've also had people keep doing it/argue with me after me telling them I don't like it. My aunt (above) likes to put her fingers in people's ears.
I just realized that for all of these, I had a family member in mind.
I guess I understand why my family considers me a hardass now ;P
EDIT: I thought of a few more ;P
I don't like when people don't respect other people's things. My younger sister liked to set her "fast food" coffee (like starbucks) on my papers back when I played DnD at home. Then one day, while play fighting/wrestling with her boyfriend she spilled it over my campaign (I had splurged and bought those large paper grids that people used to use before powerpoints for presentation to make dungeons).
She also has her friends/boyfriend take our stuff (either things specifically for us, like the chocolate chips I buy for baking, or stuff that my father would buy for the family)
-When people use "lol" randomly as part of an otherwise coherent sentence.
-When people stand in the middle of escalators, not moving out of the way to let me pass unless prompted.
Yikes, that's a big old list. Sounds like you gotta loosin up a bit. Don't want the little things stressing you out, you know?
Anyway, here are mine
-People who offer snacks to kids RIGHT before a meal.
-Excessive swearing. I find it crass and aggressive. I'm ok with it when someone is making a joke, though.
-Small eaters. Or more specifically, people who waste food.
-People who use drinking fountains for purposes other than drinking. Things like hand washing, spitting, throwing away trash. I've seen someone even use it as a dog bath.
-People who unapologetically interrupt your sentence as you try to converse with them. Like so.
A: How was your day?
B: Pretty good. I just got my tool set from the mail an-
A: So I was thinking we could check out that new bar tonight. Wanna come?
B: ...
Definitely. One of my closer friends and even my father have this tendency. They aren't really mean, but are demanding and/or rude enough to make me feel awkward and apologetic at times.
A Magic related pet-peeve: I really hate it when players put lands in front of their creatures. Not sure why, but its always bugged me.
It always bothers me, too.
You can include me in this group. I think it's because nearly all of the friends and groups I've played with all started around the same time (Revised thru Mirage eras). If I remember correctly, the Revised rulebook either had a picture of critters in front of lands or else said to place them so. And even if I'm "misremembering", they're about to do battle! They should be out front, not behind the lands! Come on people!
(about the English language) It's kinda like a raft that was cobbled together from parts of three different boats and since then has been kept barely afloat with crude repairs every time a leak appeared.

Yeah, it always feels odd to me if cards aren't laid out with nonlands first and lands second.

"Where do you want to eat?"
me: "Anywhere. You choose."
"... Where do you want to eat?"
me: "Let's go to X."
"I don't want to eat there."
me: "Let's go to Y."
"That's expensive."
me: "How about Z?"
"We ate there yesterday."
me: "Hey, how about this place."
"I don't like their food."
me: "Fine. You choose."
"... where do you want to eat?"
When people claim to be listening to you, but are in reality staring incessantly at their cellphones.
When people can't walk and use their phones at the same time and hold up lines, waste MY time by standing there, make every social interaction like checking out at a store take that much longer, etc.

This is like the #1 irritation I have with most of my friends, but one in particular. They will shoot down every idea I have but won't suggest one of their own.
^Me being one of those indecisive types, I find it easier to list places where I DON'T want to eat. It's slow and probably annoying, but I think black listing places will get more results out of people like me.

Well, I get having times when you just don't want to decide, but you'll probably be better off if you start training yourself to pick something and live with the consequences, even if you don't like it. If you lead off with 'I don't want Chick-Fil-A, TGIFridays, etc.' I think that's cool.
It's enormously frustrating to sit in a room with four other guys who are 'up for anything', and then have your first four ideas shot down with no one offering alternatives.

Try with the "alternative" idea. You can't shut down an idea unless you replace it with an alternative.
It keeps you from ending up with nothing, and allows you to keep the "least worst" ideas.
1. People who text or talk on the phone while driving. I was nearly killed by one of these jerks. (Like ended up in the ER type of nearly killed, not a near-miss.)
2. People who invade my personal space.
3. Public displays of affection, including hugging, kissing, making out, etc.
4. People who are incessant flirts and like to lead people on. It's psychological warfare, plain and simple.
5. People who feel the need to discuss their religion at every gathering.
Just today someone drove past me with ">26.2;" and "Marathon Freak" stuck to their car. They proceeded to cut me off in the rain. You can run more than 26.2 miles, but you can't move your finger two inches?
2. People who lean on open binders, more specifically binders that are not their own.
+1 Roland does 1 damage to up to 6 target creatures, players or plainswalkers.
-2 Roland twirls a bullet casing. Tap all opponents creatures.
-11 Reset life totals to 20 x the number of activations of this ability. Begin a new game shuffling all cards into owners decks except for Roland who remains in play.
My no. 1 pet peeve is definitely noisy people, especially...
-folks who have so much energy to speak so loudly and are probably getting too excited in their conversations on public transportation. I don't drive, and the last thing I want after an entire day of work is the noisy yada-yada.
-screaming babies and kids.
-hyperactive or angry co-workers and bosses who love YELLING everywhere in the office.
-anyone who would die from a second of keeping their mouth shut.
A: "X device or software doesn't work / needs to be fixed / needs to be better."
B: "Well, I'd like to see you try and fix it / improve it!"
A: "But it's not my job to do that / I'm not in the right field, etc."
B: "Then don't complain."
I've seen complaints like these done with regards to Microsoft Excel, Elgato Game Capture programs, rice cookers, electrical systems in houses, and (my personal favorite) the design philosophy of Magic cards.
Oh yeah, can't forget the complaints about not being able to post comments on Gatherer, too.

To my defense, the first choice most everyone makes around here is either "pizza" or "latino restaurant", both of which bore me.

People with cellphones in public in general.
