What are your "pet hates'
saucycobblers:
SUV drivers - anytime, anywhere, anyplace and under any circumstances. Unless they're farmers...
But especially SUV drivers with manicures, straightened hair, too much lip gloss and a mobile phone permanently attached to their friggin ear. You know the type...
People who don't say please and thankyou. Civility costs nothing!!!
Middle-lane hoggers on the motorway. It's for OVERTAKING, a**hole!
Over-packaged products really hack me off...
...and so does processed cheese.

Oh, my. Welcome to my world. Here in Boca Raton, we call that type "Boca Bitches." And they're *everywhere*.
<--- owns an SUV (it's a small one, honest!) but doesn't get manicures and never talks on the cell phone while driving (I'm a bad enough driver as it is - why aggravate it further?)

In that case we'll make a special exception for you Barb ;)
David In Indy:
I get irritated when someone thinks their new car somehow deserves to occupy THREE parking spaces. It pisses me off even more when the offending car is an old junker.
People parking so close to my car I can't get the driver's side door open. So I have to enter the car from the passenger side and climb, twist and crawl to get into the driver's seat. My car has a large stick shift on the floor board, and my ass has to go right over the top of it. Just one slight miscalculation and I could be making a very embarrassing 911 call.
People who walk their dogs across my front lawn, allow them to take a dump on it and leave it for me to clean up. :P
Kids (and some adults) who install huge stereo speakers in the trunk of their car, turn their stereos up to maximum volume and drive up and down the street at 3:00 in the morning.
People who buy a pack of gum at the convenience store and pay for it with a $100 bill.
People who want to argue with the cashier, insisting they were just shortchanged a penny.
The person in front of me who wants to catch up on all the day's gossip with the cashier.

I call them "Oblivions". They're completely oblivious to anything and everyone around them.

'Time to stop and Stare' by William Henry Davies.
What is this life if full of care
We have no time to stand and stare?
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep, or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this, if full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
