People that think their car is sooo awesome that they have to park way out in the back of the parking lot so nobody parks next to them.

I mention this one cause someone at work does this so me a another coworker decided to park our cars on either side of his. hee hee hee(giggled in a school girl tone)

People that say " I heart that"... Is there some reason not to say love?

But, then, I always park way out in parking lots, to try and cut down on door dings from careless people.

timecline - sometime people do that to force them selves to get a little exercise. Not a bad idea, although I don't do it.

However, I also don't make 20 laps waiting for a spot to open up 5 feet from the door - and I hate those that do. Morons. Most of the time I'm already inside the store and they are just parking. Didn't save much time, did they? I'll make that a pet peeve!

ignore this user

Those people don't bother me, the ones that park across 3 spaces so no one can park next to them do. Sometime I feel like sending a shopping cart whizzing towards the side of their BMW.

While I'm on the subject, people that can't return there shopping carts and instead just leave it in the middle of a parking space really annoy me.

lz, maybe it's just disabled people who can't get in a disabled space because all the fat people have taken them.

Here's another one I just remembered:

When people say "literally" when it's actually figurative.

Like, "I ate the chicken wings and my mouth was literally on fire."

I think people have heard it used that way so much, they think that's the correct usage. They don't know what "literal" means.

I think this guy's mouth was literally on fire.

People who don't turn right away when they get the green turning arrow!!!

Washington State folks who walk slow in the crosswalk because this state enforces that they have the right of way plus when you are turning when they are in the crosswalk, you are not allowed to get to close to them by law, where in NY, you better step quick, because the turning car is right on your butt and will turn in front of you before you can reach the curb also. NY does not recognize giving people in the crosswalk the right of way coming or going.

I forgot my biggest pet peeve!!! Sinks in bathrooms. What's the purpose if you have use your bare hand to turn off the water, then open the door when people with....bacteria....on their hands touched the sink to turn on the water to begin with?

We need bathrooms with water that turns itself on which some have and those paper towels that some bathrooms have that dispense them by sensors, and also doors that open by sensors or there is no purpose to washing your hands or employees at restaurants doing the same.

That employees must wash hands sign in restrooms is a joke!

Companies that use a slogan that seems to be answering a question that was never posed.

Top 10 Serial Killer Pet Peeves
10. Police composite sketches that make you look 10 years older than you really are.
9. Hefty bags that leak.
8. When you're hoping for a cool nickname like "Zodiac" or "Midnight Madman" and media gives you nickname "Tubby."
7. Crummy Ginsu knives they sell on TV that claim to stay sharp forever.
6. When really expensive "night vision goggles" turn out to be just a scuba mask with red cellophane taped over glass.
5. When you're a really neat serial killer and you have to move in with a really messy serial killer.
4. It's always some neighbor you barely knew who ends up yapping on the news about you being "a troubled loner."
3. Rarely have "Serial Killer Day" at the ballpark.
2. When you finally meet somebody you like, you always end up killing them.
1. Movie "Silence of the Lambs" not as funny as the book.
