I hate when I'm walking quickly trying to get somewhere and theres a person who is slowly walking in front of me zig-zagging so I can't pass them!!! Ugh, annoying. Also when I have to go to the left side of the sidewalk to pass someone walking towards me on their left side---this is America, NOT Europe people!

aaah, this drives me nuts!  i also hate when you are walking along, & you move over a bit to get out of someone's way, & they don't move!  they just give you this look like "aren't you going to get the **** out of my way???"  i hate that, there is always a lot of room for them to move as well.  you don't own the sidewalk people!!!

i also hate people who feel like they are entitled to stop in the middle of the sidewalk or hallway with all their friends & have conversations.

- When I get a call from an 800 number in middle of the night. If its a machine, I say "operater" and yell "go FICO yourself" to whoever answers...

People who tailgate me.

I drive..quickly. So people who are tailgating me are only doing so because the car in front of me is going far too slow.

One day, one of these bags are going to cause me to pop off in a way that makes the nightly news.

When I answer the phone on my business line, I answer, "Good Morning, Uborrow-Upay!" 

Then the caller asks to speak with Uborrow-Upay.

Drives me nuts.

+1 That happened yesterday at the office. This might be mean, but if I know they are a soliciting based on the callerID, then I'll say "Hello" over and over and over again before saying "can you hear me now?" It gets their attention and they get to the point in a hurry.

I lothe people who do not use turn signals. Seriously, using your turn signals could literally save your life. And all that is required is moving one finger 2 inches!

If you are unwilling/incapable of doing this, you should ride the bus.

people who feel the need to flip me off as they pass me because i'm not driving like a bat out of hell

Turn signals are a sign of weakness in Boston   I "break the rules" and use mine at all times though (yeah, I'm a rebel).

As far as my driving pet peeves, I could list them in alphabetical order, order of importance, monastic, etc.

One of my tops: "People" (and I use that term loosely) who lollygag in the passing lane (aka "fast lane").  Your license should be removed, and your ability to procreate should be eliminated (for starters).

It is a PASSING lane - if you're in it, you had better be moving faster than the lane to your right (more than 1 mph, thanks), and move into it once you've passed the "pokies".  If you're going to stay in the passing lane, then for the love of all that is holy, MOVE IT.  If you see a big stretch of highway in front of you with no cars, and string of cars behind you riding so far up your bumper they could have an accurate indepth conversation with your colonoscopist, GET OUT OF THE PASSING LANE.

A couple of weekends ago, I was driving and my fiance was in the passenger seat reading "The Power of Now" (a book about "postive thinking").  As he was patiently reading, I stream of colorful language flew out of my mouth (ala the dad from "A Christmas Story") - because as usual, a party of SlowPoke McTurtle-Morons decides it's going to be fabulous hangin' out in the passing lane at 65mph.  At one point I think I growled "I am going to stab each and every one of you in the neck with a pencil!".  Then it struck me how hilarious the scenario was - he is all peaceful and patient-like, and I've got veins popping out of my forehead.  We had to laugh at that LOL

I'd post a link, but it isn't G-rated, but there's a recent video on Break.com showing a slow driver in the fast lane w/ a cop riding his bumper. After a short period and the slow driver still not going over to the right, the cop puts on his lights and the slow driver slowly goes to the right shoulder with the police in tow. At the last second, the cop turns off his lights and drifts back into the left lane leaving the other probably scratching his head wondering why he almost got pulled over. Classic!
