People who behave as though all other cars on the road should bend to their will.
I really can't think of a less desirable trait in a human being, and we're building a society that is breeding the hell out of these people.
This was already on the way to manifesting itself before cell phones became a part of how people drive. Holy ****, what a double whammy.

It drives me nuts when MsSerp closes her dresser drawers with clothes hanging out just a little bit. Open them, push the clothes all the way in, and then shut the drawer. It looks nicer that way. Freakin' NJ rifff raff.

Since I work with undergraduate students:
Why the **** do you think you deserve anything? You "tried" hard, eh? You put in a lot of hours, eh? Why does your work still hum on camel balls then? Why should I even return your emails that stink of privilege? You are 18-20 years old and all you've ever done (at least if you go to my university) is take from your parents and demand things of people who are so much smarter than you... and you don't even realize it.

You a TA or an actual teacher?
When we first got married, my wife's biggest pet peeve was any retail clothes display on which the hanger hooks were not all the same direction. She would stop and turn them so they all matched.
One of my big pet peeves was her doing that, but she doesn't do it anymore.

Total neat freaks are a pet peeve of mine. I'm not saying you have to be sloppy, but in most cases things don't need to be perfect either.

That is pretty dumb. Now if something happens to say "Utes" and has the Pac-12 logo on it, that's fine. But just "Pac-12" doesn't work for me.
My wife does this too when she actually closes the drawer. Drives me nuts seeing cupboards and stuff open all the time. One of these days I'm taking the doors off since there's no use having them if you don't shut them.

Mine can. That's how I keep the neighborhood kids from pooping on my lawn. I taught him to grab them between his hind paws, and then donkey kick, flipping them backwards. He can knock a solo cup off the neighbor kid's head at 3 and half paces. Most of the time. I also taught him to spray paint "Harpring doesn't suck" on the neighbor's garage doors, but for some reason, he sometimes forgets the N and the T.
As long as we're talking U of U, my seats are in the middle of a section of obnoxious, drunk ******** (also known as Rice Eccles Stadium), and they give any opposing fans a **** ton of grief, all game long. I'm okay with some playful banter and rivalry, but calling names and getting personal about it takes the fun away.
I'm with you on that. I've been to a few games at Rice Eccles, and even though it's a "dry" campus there are is a large supply of empty liquor containers in the bathrooms.
And since you quoted it again, I'm gonna bust your corn-hole one more time.
These just made me smile. (the pedo-smile)

on my way to "professor", but I don't have tenure.
People who don't put DVD/CD/Games back in their case when they take them out of the player, but instead just put them next to the player because they are too lazy to find the box and put it in it.
That just described my kids perfectly. They take after their mother.

For me it's BR.
People driving through neighborhoods the night of July 4.
Neighbor kids going up and down the street on their bikes trying to catch a glimpse of every single firework being lit in front of every single house in the neighborhood.
