My BIGGEST is when I go out of my way to hold a door for a stranger, I mean blatantly wait for them just to be nice and get no thank you.
I mean 90% of the time the person will smile and say thank you as it is a nice gesture, but for those 10% who don't, I give them a loud You're Welcome and then they say "oh, I'm sorry, thank you" or you get the shocked, "oh I should have said thank you look." At that point, take a hike, too busy to say thanks, NOBODY is too busy to say a quick thanks.

people who are rude to people in the service industry because they know that those people serving them have to take their crap and still be nice.
people who are rude in general, or just plain have no manners or make no attempts to show consideration for others.
people who reek of b.o., and especially people who use cologne to try to cover up that b.o. rather than taking a shower atleast once a week.
people who litter.
people who poorly supervise their kids, and allow them to run around and be nuisances to others.
EDIT: oh and I forgot a big one...
people who smoke but make no attempt to prevent others from having to breathe any of their smoke, such as by first asking "Mind if I smoke?" (I'm convinced many don't ask because they don't want to hear, "Actually, yes I do.") also, smokers who flick their cigarette butts anywhere, especially if those butts are still lit.

I think you guys hit a bunch of them.....
I hold doors for people all the time and have to yell "your welcome" like 2002S2K once in a while to get a thank you.
Lit cigarettes being flicked out of a car annoys me
Horrible drivers who are even worse when on their cell phones, switching 3 lanes at a time without looking, all while their poor little kid is in the back seat praying.
Grumpy people.
Selfish people.
People who have kids with no desire to be a parent. Even in my middle class neighborhood i think about half the parents do nothing with their kids.... the kids play outside until dark and the parent sit inside and eat potato chips.
Parents who let their kids hit them. WTF! I see kids punching parents all the time. My kids ever try that and they won't be sitting very comfortably. You don't have to beat kids, but jeez... a little authority goes a long way!
I also hate the person who invented Mt. Dew.... i drink way too much and it pisses me off.
I will think of more....

-Misbehaving children
-People who mistake "your" and "you're," "too" and "to," and "there" and "their."
I went to undergrad with a kid who claimed his grandfather invented Mt. Dew. His license plate read, "Will Dew" (his name is Will). He was kind of a dick.
-People who are really loud in public
-Cell phone users while driving (without hands free device)
-Large SUV drivers who go over 55 mph (in a 4 ton vehicle
) while on 20" wheels, no brake upgrades, and all while watching TV.

People who write the word "alot." It's a lot. A lot. Two words, people. ARRGGGGG!!!
Also, people who throw their cigarettes out the window of their car. The world is not your ashtray, mother
