I hate when you walk into the kitchen, excited about the peanut butter & jelly sandwhich you're about to make...
And then you open the breadbox and see that the last two slices of bread are the end slices. I really do hate it.

People in customer service with attitudes. For instance my isp was down last night so I called customer service the woman was very nice took my info and told me that the service was having trouble. No prob. there very prof. This morning I still couldn't log on so I call again. Get a csr tell them the error number he says I never heard of that with attitude asks my log in name I tell him asks me to spell it I say capital for my last name out of habit he saqys THAT"S WHY YOU CAN"T LOG ON! There are no capitals in your last name and I'm getting that that's not the right log on name. Know last night I gave the csr all the same info and there was no problem so I figured the service was just still out and this guy was being Mr. I know everything and not listening. So I just say I'll call back.
Another pet peeve is people who have to shorten everything with initials. Does it take that much time to say the whole thing? Most of the time nobody knows what these people mean when they use abbreviations so they have to explain what it means which means they have to say twice as much!

I've got quite a few pet peeves so here they are in no particular order.
1. People that don't look ahead when they're driving, then do some stupid, last-second move to avoid getting creamed.
2. Drivers that are always giving people breaks/favours on the most dangerous roads or at the most inopportune times. For instance, stopping on a freeway to allow someone to merge!
3. Drivers that can't merge correctly. They go onto a ramp with a yield sign, don't accelerate, and then have to slow down a lot to keep from hitting someone else, or else have to stop completely because they can't slip into traffic.
4. Most other drivers. Yes, I have a problem.
5. People that eat with their mouth open or just eat loudly, period. Get some manners!
6. People chewing nails. I have supersensitive hearing and it drives me nuts. So do people that are clipping or filing their nails.
7. People that are late constantly. One person in particular I know is routinely late, yet never calls, never apologizes, and never seems to realize that a half hour can mean the difference between a great steak and a hard, crusty piece of beef.
8. People that talk without thinking or take an opinion as gospel truth. Reference people that believe everything the read and hear in the news.
9. People that drive 30 kph on a 100 kph highway because there is a half inch of snow on the ground (or else clear and dry tracks with a slight bit of snow between them). Get good tires and at least do half the limit, people!
10. People that don't check their rearview mirror before moving into the passing lane on a highway and/or don't speed up to quickly pass the car in front of them and get out of the way of others. Passing a car by going a huge 5 kph faster is not acceptable.
11. Longwinded talkers. People that talk just to hear their own voice.
The list goes on....but I'll stop here.
In short, bad drivers drive me nuts (pun intended) and people without decent manners could easily put me in a strait jacket in minutes.

I hate when I'm going up the stairs without really paying attention; I get to the top and think there's one more step so am anticipating another. But then there's not and I stumble forward.
I also hate when I'm going down the stairs and think there's one more step, when there really isn't. I'll end up crashing into the ground with my foot.
Either way, I always think to myself, "Ahh DAMNit!"
