Your biggest Pet Peeves

uh no..it's your duty to use the left lane as a passing lane only (speed limit or not)...if the guy next to you is going to speed limit, then you need to go faster in order to "pass" him...read your driver manual again 
people who use the term "blinkers"...good lord, they're TURN SIGNALS

Awesome thread...cuz a lot of stuff pisses me off.
1. Inconsiderate room mates. Like talking on the phone when you're trying to sleep, or talking on AIM until 3am.
2. Pricks that drive slow in the left lane!! Move the heck over!
3. People that chew with their mouth open
4. People that make loud noises when they eat, like friggin cows
5. Seasonal Allergies!!!!! Although thats a health thing.
I'll think of more later.....

So that's not just a problem here in the MSP area...? :insane:
1. The use of the lower case I. (omg i can't believe that)
2. When Spanish people laugh at you when you are trying to pronounce a Spanish word. Thanks for the encouragement! Goes the same for any language, but I am learning Spanish and this has happened on more than one occasion.
3.Drivers...
..that tailgaters.
..who have their cell phone, GPS, etc up their a**.
..that insist that they need the world to know their political/activist views by sticking bumper stickers on ever inch of the car. One is enough people!
..that have to get to bingo with the town car.
4. People who use their American Express Black Card and tip 10 percent for good service.
5. Car sale commercials.
6. People who insist they don't have a drinking problem. Burp.
7. Wet foot, dry foot policy. Seems like a game show.
8. Misuse of educational spending.
Just a few.

1. Another variation on that -- people who don't say "thank you" when you hold doors open for them -- especially irritating when it's someone a lot younger!
2. "Drivers" who make turns in front of you even though you have the right of way. Also, when you don't allow them to make the turn and they scream and curse at you -- even though they're the ones who are wrong! Classic.
3. Bad spelling and grammar. I'm not a school marm, but.....
GREAT THREAD!!!

Oh, and another one that get's annoying.
People who type in CAPS LOCK. Then they usually put the most important part of the letter in lowercase. This can usually be seen on Ebay.

OK, OTP... you made me laugh on this one. Why? The Cessna I originally soloed in (about 20 years ago) was, no kidding, 2554Q!!!! But I promise you--that wasn't me you heard!

1. The TSA
2. The toolish pilot who doesn't respond to multiple requests by tower to expedite the heck off the runway, making you go around.
3. People who work for the TSA
4. People who respond to clearances by saying only, "OK, here we go"
5. Having to touch less than sanitary parts of the airplane or facing a hefty personal fine, as mandated by the TSA
6. Paris Hilton
7. Getting extra special screening from teh TSA when I'm in uniform and on duty...better make sure that shampoo is really shampoo, because it's not like I'm going to be the sole person flying the airplane 50ft off the ground or anything.
8. Shooter fricking Jennings (maaaajor pet peeve!)

Yah, I hate that guy too, but if it's a busy airport and it's VFR, they're going to be packing them as tight as they can. Part of situational awareness is knowing that if someone's been vectored in close behind you there's going to be problems if you dink along past a high-speed at 20kts when the next exit is a couple of thousand feet down the runway.
Hmm, really I don't have many but here's a couple:
-People who walk/run in the street in our neighborhood. We have nice wide sidewalks on both sides of every street, and yet people choose to walk in the street and make traffic swerve around them! Use the sidewalks!
-I hate preconcieved notions. Making assumptions about other people based on their job, etc. Example, assuming that all pilots are rich with 20 days off a month, or assuming that all flight attendants are ditzy, stupid girls out to sleep with every pilot they fly with. Take the time to learn about something or someone before making judgements.
