I recently had the sad experience of sitting in my companies marketing booth at a local county fair. Watching the parade of female flesh was an eye opener.
Apparently, the trend is to wear ultra low-rise jeans with a high rise shirt - And if you were 14 year old teeny bopper that might be ok - but I witnessed 50 year old, gray headed, tattooed fat ladies "strutting their stuff". I assumed that it was becaus I live in the Land-O-Rednecks - apparently not, it's everywhere. 
Oh yeah, it is everywhere. It's also revolting. And it's not always just huge females. Sometimes I see hairy bellies hanging out from under too small men's T-shirts too.
How about the spandex shorts on huge butts too? You get to see every dimple and roll magnified.

Don't think this was mentioned.
People who flick cig. ashes out of the window when cars are behind them. They don't want to use an ashtray IN their car, but for some unknown reason it is ok to pelt my car with ashes. The to add insult to injury, they then throw it out of the window.
And worse yet, they do it while driving slowly in the left hand lane.

Another one that pisses me off: native-born speakers of American English (I'm willing to cut the "English as a second language" crowd a bit of slack) who won't pronounce the word "nu-cle-ar". It isn't hard; no one could be unable to pronounce it; no one who has ever seen the word in print could think it is "nu-cu-lar"; they just don't bother to. Or maybe they've never read anything with the word in it? I think pronounciation of "nu-cle-ar" should be a litmus test for high political office, period.
