so, what really ticks you off for no particular reason?
mine are mostly pronunciations:
people who pronounce mature like ma-toor
people who pronounce schedule like shed-ual
people named sara who pronounce it the same as sarah (sara should be pronounced with both a's sounding the same)
people who pronounce vase so it doesn't rhyme with ace
the 'word' lol, or omg
superchristians (i've never noticed any other super religious people but i'm sure i'd be anoyed by them, too)
sorry if you fall into any of these catigories, i love you anyway

people who say 'hysterical' when they mean 'hilarious'
'hilarious' = funny - an adjective which applies to JOKES
'hysterical' = overexcited - an adjective which applies to PEOPLE

ok, I really hate:
Quote/Quotation: You quote someone. You give a quotation. "I heard a quote" should be "I heard a quotation" Grrr.
Wherefore. This means "why" "Wherefore Art Thou?" is "why are you" Some people miss the point of it, including The Sun in the UK who had a headline "wherefore art thou daddy" about the beckham kids missing David!
Literally. This means "word for word" or " In a literal manner". When people say "he literally walked off" it should be actually.
People who don't get evolution.
Religion.
Microsoft.
Huge people (The REALLY huge ones that is. The ones you see eating a burger at 9 in the morning).
MSHTML.
I could go on...

I work with a guy that is always saying "The difference between them is this one is more softer" Argggghhhhhhhhh!!! and "It weren't me" arghhhhhhhh making again. I know my english and grammar aren't perfect but...... well anyway those two statements really grate on me.
Another pet hate is people that let their dogs crap on the pavement and don't clean it up. If I were to go and crap outside their house I'm sure they would have something to say about it!
Litter...... I see no reason what so ever for there ever being rubbish all over the place. That is down to just pure laziness and people not caring about where they live.

My boss used to go around muttering something about 'too many chiefs, not enough indians' ALL the time, that used to annoy me. (He's resigned now in 'untenable circumstances', Hehehe! )
Swindon is yucky, I go through there on the coach every time I go to see my folks.
Oh, and when people whisper and giggle and don't tell you what's so funny. I know I do it too sometimes, but you've got to admit it's annoying!
Smelly people on buses, don't like that either... I mean really smelly, not just normal BO but those fishy, urinal smells. Plus they usually come and sit next to me.
I could go on forever! I think I need to reflect on my tolerance...

People who want tolerance but only mean everyone should tolerate *their* opinion
Christian-haters (not cause I'm one, but because I think it's kind of silly to go slagging of just one religion when most have intolerant or annoying/missionary members)
people who write txtspeak, CAPITALS, don't care about spelling etc... it's very irritating if you try hard to speak a foreign language well and then the natives butcher it
people who stop in the middle of the road / supermarket, or people who walk really slowly next to each other so I can't walk by
anyone who's more attention-seeking than me, and who can't just watch / listen to someone else for more than 30 seconds without going "Look at me! I can stand on one leg for a minute!" (or something equivalent)
people who always have something to complain about, i.e. myself right now!! I shouldn't have answered this post!

~ people who are never happy, for no good reason.
~ the "I love you more" "game" A friend of mine pulls it on me all the time. I've finally just started saying "You're right. You do. And I'm okay with not loving you so much if you are." I *really* can't stand it.
~ people who think they own the road, don't know what mirrors are, won't get over in an empty lane when others are merging, drive with a turn signal on, flick their cigarettes on my car while they are texting when they should be driving (had a long drive recently, can you tell?)
~ people who look a gift horse in the mouth
~ rose colored glasses
~ text speak, even though I occassionally use it.
~ the "one up" game ie: My story/life/event was so much better/wilder/weirder/worse/etc than yours game. Oi.
~ masogony, well really, blatant bigotry of any form, and people who think it's okay
~ apathy, especially when it is applied towards life in general. I see it more and more and it makes me sad.
~ kids who walk around with their faces buried in their texting so much so they don't see a damn thing in rl happening around them. Same for kids who play video games all day.
~ people who decide to drop one in a public bathroom, stinking up the place painfully and won't even do a courtesy flush. That is just wrong.
~ having so little to do at work that I resorted to making this list.
