Aggravates the living hell out of me. I suppose that I should consider it a small victory that the trash was emptied to begin with.

My wife does this thing where she ties the bag off near the end of the day. Like, she thinks it might leak smells or something.

I open the trash can, hands full of something that needs to be thrown away, only to find that the bag is tied shut. SO AGGRAVATING.

Microwave left with seconds on the cycle.

Your head will explode if you visit my home or workplace (tool boxes).

I asked the guy in the grocery store, "If there's no price on the item, and there is no shelf tag with a price, that means the item is free, right?"

He did not agree with my impeccable logic.

Landscapers and homeowners blowing their leaves and lawn clippings into the street.

Gas stations that don’t put receipt paper at the pump. You have to walk in and stand in line to get a receipt.

Workers that ignore customers to play with their mobile phone.

Hagglers. You study and work for decades, and an idiot comes to you and try to haggle your $70/h honorarium.

Do you haggle at your dentist, physician or attorney? No? So don’t bleeping try it with me.

People that walk in the grass instead of the sidewalk.

If they wanted you to walk there they would have put concrete!!!

I usually just get in the fast lane and cruise.

Dare I say, people who just get in the fast lane and cruise. It’s against the law in many states to drive in the L lane unless you’re passing someone. Personally, I find it annoying to look in my left side mirror and see some car a mile back in the L lane, slowly working his way up to me. I have to watch the vehicle constantly to see where it is because I may need to get over quickly for a multitude of reasons. I think it’s incredibly discourteous not to stay right except to pass.

People who drive in the rain with their hazards on.

WTF taught them that!? I’ve driven in many states and have been licensed in several and not once did they mention turning on your hazards. Mental midgets

And those bright ass headlights that people put on their cars.

When I'm cruising in the fast lane I keep an eye on my rearview mirror and move over before the faster moving car is right behind me. Then I get in behind them and let them go on their merry way. I don't care if I'm driving 85mph. If someone wants to drive 95mph have at it. I'm out of their way before they have to even adjust their speed.

That's the only reasonable thing to do. If I'm on the leftmost lane, I make sure I don't have an unreasonable gap between me and the car ahead. If I see a car behind me gaining on me, I move to the side. Although, driving cross-country on straight aways, I'm driving fast enough that people in front of me move to the side.

I look askance at people driving on the left lane and pacing the car in the right lane at cruising speeds.

Although, since gas hit over $4 when it was under $2.50 a year ago, my hobby now is driving such to get my MPG high. Last I check which was yesterday, I'm driving 20.something MPG when previously, I'm 17 MPG driving around town.

Don’t worry I’m passing. If no one is in the second fastest lane I will be there. I’m not bouncing back and forth every half mile though that’s for sure.

Doing my job and looking up to see people with their phone in their face.

Jackwads parking in handicap spaces who are not handicapped or transporting a handicapped passenger.

I may go to the grocery store today, yes I always put my cart back in the stall. I often take one in when going inside.

One peeve is shopping cart etiquette, you know, one leaves the cart in the middle as they walk away to pick something up. I don’t freak, but can’t help but notice.

As long as we’re here, elevator etiquette is another one. You’re at a busy hotel elevator landing, people waiting. Here come some more who want to jump ahead of those already waiting? Yes, most abide, but enough have little clues.

Sometimes I think my wife is trying to kill me. The cabinet drawers are self closing, but only if you get them within about 1" of closing, and she leaves them a minimum of 1.5" open. More than once I have walked right into an open wall cabinet door. We've been married 30 years, and it has always been this way. I gave up a long time ago fighting that battle.

Trousers with shallow pockets that my keys fall out of.

And the word “trousers”.

People - they're the worst

My 34 year old grandson, medically retired from the army has been living with my wife and me for 5+ years. Leaves his crap scattered all over the place, sleeps the oddest hours I have ever seen. He uses more clothes in 1 day than I do in a week, and my wife does his laundry. He must change his clothes 4-5 times a day, if not more. He seldom, if ever, closes one of the interior doors here in the house, my garage/workshop looks like a tornado blew thru it, parts, used oil, tools, etc. scattered all over the place. I spent nearly an hour yesterday looking for an extension cord, which I eventually found in the "apartment" he has established in my/our basement. If I make any negative comments about him or his actions to my wife she gets very defensive of him.
