Sending "good vibes" and "prayer warriors" for people who have health issues on Facebook

People whom refer to their pets as fur babies

I have to eat my burger still wrapped, or bring the wrapper up right below the burger when I take a bite, otherwise I'm bound to spill something on my clothes and that my fella, is a pet peeve. I cannot stand spilling food on my clothes. 

The prayer warriors on FB annoy me to no end, but I'd never take it personal or ask them to stop.

People that speed up when you go to pass them. Saturday mornings I commute to Boston. It's about an hour and change on I-90, so I usually put the car at 73 and chill out. 73 is usually good for a stress-free ride, but every once in a while there's a car around 70 who decides that he wants to go faster than/just as fast as you when he sees you coming up on his left to pass.

Reality TV shows.

F*ck cell phones. Reality TV shows and the public's obsession over these talentless bastards is the real bane on society.

I don't think reality stars are suppose to have talent, at least not for the reality show they're on. Reality TV doesn't bother me. It's infinitely more entertaining than 99% of everything else on TV. I don't watch much TV myself. I haven't watched more than 5 or 6 hrs total over the past 4 months I'd guess, excluding boxing.

You can't have a conversation with people anymore without them acting like you're ruining their day because they have their earbuds jammed in their ears or their damn headphones on all the time, and they (God forbid) have to converse with you. I go to ask someone at work a question and they give me the look, then the requisite sigh, then they have to pause the music and pull out/take off their ear parapehnalia.

You're at work, dumbass. I have a business question. Give the ***** Taylor Swift warbling a rest while we conduct business, and stop acting like you're doing me a favor.

The cashier that wants to yap to every customer.

There's a gas station near my job where one cashier lady tries to make jokes with every. single. customer. It's one of the most annoying things ever.

I hate those assholes too......doesn't ANYONE use cruise control anymore?   

......or how about the douche that gets in front of you and slows back down?  Or the one that HAS to pull out in front of you, no a soul behind you and forces you to almost lock it down, only to turn 100 yards up the road......DAMN that pisses me off!

Yeah, that one gets me too: there's an exit coming up you want, so you're in the right line. The jackass comes up on your left and at the last moment, cuts into the right lane and shoe-horns himself between you and the car in front of you, and then hits his breaks. So, you look in the rear-view mirror and there's two football fields of emptiness in the lane behind you, but this idiot insisted on risking everyone's lives just so he didn't have to - gasp - be behind one car. ***** 'tards, man.

People who hit their snooze button every 10 minutes for an hour and have email alerts that are this ping that drills right into your brain going off during the night.  
This is just a random observation and should not be construed to be about any certain individual that I've been sleeping next to for the last 20 years.

The driving pet peeves are endless. I agree with the one about people who speed up when you want to pass. They are going slower than you, so you speed up to go around them, then they speed up just to jam you up behind a car in your lane ahead instead of letting you get by. Sometimes I will cut over anyway and make them jam on their brakes.

A loud office talker, whether on phone or whatever when I am trying to work. I have a manager that does this all day, and I am about ready to find a new job or try to transfer out. It's that bad.

After my most recent commute:

Was stuck in traffic for 15+ miles, just to discover that there was an accident.......ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FREEWAY.

People who show up late to events and expect to get the same things as those who arrive early or on time.

Yes you dumbass... you will not get great parking, table, or seat if you show up late.  You'll have to wait longer and take what's left.  So eat it.

A great example are those people who show up to a newly released movie at or after the start time. 

There are only crap seats left in the front...  yet they stare blankly towards those already seated and expect there to be something.

You want good seats?  Show up early.

Oh this bothers me as well. It says a lot about the community. I always notice this when I am buying a home in a new neighborhood. The local grocery tells a lot.

My wife does this as well. I tell her that I want to disable the snooze feature. She says oh please 5 more minutes

What about when shit burns?  That's a big peeve of mine.
