   My long list...sorry
   
   * Not closing the toilet lid.
   * People that attempt to control your life. Today's tool of control is the cell phone.
   * Needy people. Lack of independence.
   * People that ask a question, but won't shut up when you're trying to answer.
   * People ruled and controlled by the cell phone.
   * People that follow celebrities.
   * Germaphobes (don't know spelling of this).
   * Lack of political knowledge or apathy for politics.
   * Deniers of scientific fact.
   * People that routinely say, "I never heard of that".

      yes, yes yes! I love your list. Add to it:
      
      People who can't park their cars. (plus people who can't drive for a damn)
      People who ride your bumper.
      People who are perpetually late.
      Blue tooth everything.
      Combination everything (combo cell phones/cameras/PC's/music players - that sort of thing).
      Fast food that isn't fast (or food).
      Utter lack of consideration for other's personal belongings and/or personal space.
      
      
      Should I go on?

   No kidding ... I even felt the urge to start adding other things too such as
   * people who push and shove their way into queues or who try to sneak into them i.e. "linejumpers".
   Here's another one
   * automated septic sucking service calls during dinner hour.

    I did have a pet peeve when I was a kid, but it died cos I wasn't feeding it or taking it for walks regularly.

       Thanks, but it's ok cos my mum skinned it and made me a pair of gloves. I was the only kid in our school with real peeve skin gloves.

       Well, at least it didn't go to waste. I hear peeve is coming back into fashion again, as well. All the rage.

       Yeah peeve is the new cashmere, It's a good time to buy peeve stocks or even set up a peeve ranch.
       It's just a shame that you can't drink their milk, it's very bitter.

    I actually think dwelling on pet peeves only really tends to make them stand out more and appear worse than they are.

    OK this may be an obscure one, but one of my pet peeves is the dual tap system in Britain.
    
    I'm referring to sinks where instead of having one tap for hot or cold water, you have a separate tap for each. So when you're washing your hands your choice is either burning hot or freezing cold. My delicate fingers can't take it any more!
    
    The UK is the only developed place I've been to where this is still frequent. Restrooms from Glasgow to London have been set up to torture people. Why is this? Have plumbers got a vendetta against the Great British Public?

    I only have a few big ones.....
    
    1. People who talk on their phone while driving, without earbuds or handsfree.... I'm a little more lenient on handsfree!
    
    2. People who are intolerant of other people's beliefs and criticize them for disagreeing!

    People that say "Supposably".
    People who are on their cell phones in social situations (ie Dates)
    I actually overheard a woman complaining to someone on her phone about not being able to find a nice single guy. I'm a nice single guy and would have talked to her but I didn't want to interrupt her call Hang up the phone, you just might meet some new people.

    I can't believe nobody has mentioned it yet, so I'll add one more: automated answering services.
    
    
19. "Welcome to the personal emergency helpline. Your call is important to us! Please press 1 if you're drowning. Please press 2 if you're on fire. Press 3 if you've had an incident related to vacuuming in the nude. Press 4 if you've been attacked by Russell Crowe, or press 5 to speak with an operator."
    
    **presses 5**
    
    "Sorry, all of our operators are either busy, incompetent or speak only Chinese. Please try again later!"
    
    This is when I repress the urge to kill someone.
