Women in line in front of you at a checkout who wait until they're told the final amount before they even BEGIN to open their handbag...then their purse...then their change purse...
Next, they look back at the amount, then their brain engages (really, if it's quiet, you can hear it!), then OMFG, here it comes, they begin to speak----interrogatively!

I can't stand when they fumble for minutes in their purse looking for the exact change. Upon waiting ridiculous amounts of time, I have been know to hand the cashier a dollar and tell them to keep the change.

I know what you mean. That is why THIS woman uses a debit card most of the time.

Pet Peeves??? Simple. Here are a few..
- people who piss on public toilet seats
- people who dont flush said toilets
- people who dont hold the door for you or say "thanks" when holding it open for them
- door to door salesmen/door marketers. You were not invited. Stay away
- commission sales people.
- commission sales people who do not give you the final price untill your ready to sign the deal and then say " oh... you also must pay this/that and everything else on top of what I quoted you. "
- loud mufflers
- Tapout wannabe MMA punks who wear white framed sunglasses
- motorcycle riders who park at Tim Hortons and wear all the gear to think thier tough ass Hells Angel wannabees
- people who use products only to put back on the shelf for thier own pleasure ( ie... deoderant, hand lotion, ect... )
- gas station/fast food attendants who cant speak proper english
