I agree with the poster who listed people who let their dogs poop on the street and don't clean it up.
We have a front yard and DH is always picking up after people walking their dogs. The other day, our daughter caught one woman telling her dog to go into our yard. DD had seen her do it before and walk away from the poop. The woman looked seriously wronged at being told not to.

Those wacky thick hangers that the Q uses; Tops and sweaters continuously slipping off. (Not a biggy pet peeve, though.)

People who cut their grass in a way that blows the lawn clippings onto the street.

Daisy: I've previously mentioned this: Our local neighborhood gardener (not ours) actually blows all of the lawn cuttings into the street. Our group of walkers (some walking their dogs) just turn around and walk on another street when we see him from a distance. Too much dirt/dust and pollen in the air. ......... I must say that none of the residents ever do this. They do it the old-fashioned way: sweep all of the cuttings into a dust pan and dump into their green recycling bins which are automatically picked up weekly.

Oh, don't get me started with cell phones. I agree with yours plus the people who walk while looking at their phones, paying no attention to anyone else. Or... people at red lights who are texting and then never move when the light turns green and you have to keep honking!
I found it sad to hear today that some young people are going to be victims of ID theft because they have no clue how to sign anything, so when they do, their "signatures" are easily copied.
When the garbage truck driver leaves my can in the middle of the street and doesn't care that it's blocking a lane.... not to mention neighbors who don't help by pushing it back to the curb for you.
I know this woman who uses the word "Precious" before every name she utters. "My precious husband, my precious son Joe, my mother's precious friend, precious teacher..." She's very nice... but it just gets annoying after a precious few minutes.

Posters that edit out the "title"
of their reply on a thread which
then if other posters reply it makes
other posters' notifications and
posting history confusing
without the thread subject in
them.

My pet peeve is when people are talking on the phone with their Bluetooth device and I think they are talking to me and I answer.

Doctors...they don't listen so they don't respond appropriately. Went to one when I had a problem swallowing (I couldn't) and she gave me a prescription for pills!
Also, venders and hosts who grope the models. Is it really necessary to run their hands over the bodies of the models? What exactly about the garment does this show?

I just had to bring this forward, as it's a pet peeve of mine. My mother used to chew gum all-the-time and snap, snap, snap it as well. If we were at home, I'd go to my room and close the door. Seconds later she wanted to know why I closed my door. My response that I'd tell her in my head was always, "Get out of my life." (Huge back-story here.)
Thankfully, I no longer know anyone who snaps gum, so can have auditory peace at home and elsewhere, most of the time.

I keep my kitchen food pantry very neat. I have a place for everything and a certain way that I put cans, boxes, etc. in there. Then one of my family members comes along, takes something out, and never puts it back where I had it. I tell myself I am never organizing it again - oh but I do anyhow, hoping maybe one of these days someone will actually put something back in there exactly where it was before. I won't hold my breath on that one though..,
