I hate when people keep talking to you, ignoring the cues that you need to be elsewhere, or would just like the conversation to end. One of the pizza delivery guys from the local place will talk your ear off, even after you start closing the door. He'll tell you how much he loves your porch, or how the owner of the restaurant isn't Italian, he's really Argentinian, etc. And I have another friend who will just talk on and on long after your eyes have started wandering and you've started shifting your weight, and you can't interrupt him - he just keeps talking.
I also hate bad grammar. Like "Can I help who's next?" from the cashier or "How's everything tasting?" from a waiter. And it's like fingernails on a chalkboard to see signs that emphasize things with quotes, like
Have a "nice day"
or
"Please" use other door
I also hate it when people try to cut in front of you in line and make it look like they just didn't realize you were there.
....
And those goddamn wrong-number-dialers!!
(2 points for identifying the source of the quote - ratbastid, you can't play.)
