While that was painful to listen to in its own right, I'd rather have that on a loop for 24 hours than have 1 second of little kids singing pop songs.

I hate how in the NBA, when theres a foul, all the bench guys raise their hand saying "yeah that was me" while all the superstars try to hide behind them...
Am I the only one that pronounces hyperbole "Hyper-bowl" instead of "hy-per-bo-le"?

Can't wait to read the other responses... but I'm gonna bump mine in "blind"... so I'm not influenced by previous posts.
Clemdawg's Top 5 (in no particular order):
1. Beeping electronic devices at public music-performance functions (and you thought this was in no particular order? -PSYYYYYYCHE!!!!!)
2. 'Reality' shows on TV (Any and ALL of them)
3. Midless, distracted, aggressive drivers on today's roads. (Megapoints off, if they're hooked up to a 'beeping electronic device'...)
4. People who 'almost' enter a parking lot just before me, then dead-stop.... to look around... and the take HOURS off my life, deciding whether they're going to drive farther into to parlikng lot or turn.... leaving my car's ass-end exposed to oncoming traffic.
5. Getting suckered itno a superficial, mindless debate on the threads at Politico[d0t] com.

I was really just thinking about pet peves and things, ( like people crackiing their gum), not all the poliical and whole life stuff, but this is fine. That reminds me. one thing I hate, baby boomers cultural domination. I gotta listen to your old songs, that , shoot, 30 years ago they were OLD SONGS, move on... It's not like in 1978 they were still playing songs from the 40's. I hate watching commercials for medical products that only a small percentage of the population will ever care about. ( you can get a free cath, or a cpap machine, or that Athlete's foot is suddenly back in style in September when football season starts. hunger, and the things that ruin peoples lives. aargh

I have people who are talking on their cellphones while some cashier is trying to take their order. Talk about rude. I feel like smacking that phone out of their hands. I may just do that today. For that matter, I hate cell phones. It's why I only carry one about half the time and it is usually turned off unless I need to make a call. I really don't care if you are trying to get in touch with me. All that is important is I am able to get in touch with you. I hate that the McDonalds down the street seems to open when they want and don't open at 5:30am on the dot every day as it says on their door. It's why I am here typing...waiting to make sure they are open so I can grab a quick bite before going for a 8 mile walk. OK....5:40 now, time to head on down, those suckers better be open. .

Hairdoos with that bump/hump in the front. Bad drivers / Tourists / Slow drivers. (I'm in a touristy area) When baggers put my chicken in with the rest of my groceries. People who stand in the way in grocery isles. Long lines. (Kings Island aghhhh. Unless you go early morning which is awesome) Costumer service without a smile. Basically anything that can go wrong during my trip to the store. Everything else is peachy besides hairstyles I find ugly apparently.

I hate when people try to force their version of morality and their religious beliefs down the throats of all americans using politics as a vehicle by which to do this when it plainly states we all have the freedom to follow and practice any religion or beliefs we choose to.
I think it's unamerican and unconstsitutional by its very definition. If people are so religious, they should know it's not their place to pass judgement or to cast stones upon others, but God's job to judge.
That's probably my biggest pet peave....

i will add another since you jogged my memory pitdawg
people who stand in line at the grocery store talking on their cell and then when it's their turn at the register, they hang up, and then PULL OUT THE CHECKBOOK with nothing filled in ... which they could have been doing while they were standing in line!
this is just a general "i hate people that are not ready when it's their turn" and that could encompass a lot of different activities
but seriously, the checkbook? especially since you were telling the person on the cell phone how busy you were and how much you were in a hurry ...

I live in a downtown area and I HATE when people ride their bikes on the sidewalks. Especially when in DC there are bike lanes everywhere. Not sure why but this is the trend of Latin/Hispanic decent. Not even kidding, they refuse to ride their bike in the street. Sure its a culture thing but I haven't been able to figure it out.
I also hate when people say "irregadless" That's NOT a word.
People who are habitually late. Talk about rude. Get your act together and stop wasting my time. If we agree on meeting at 5, I'll be there 5 min early. Can't stand it when ppl show up 15/20 min late without a heads up and think nothing of it.

I hate when people use the word "loose" in place of "lose". In essence, people sometimes say "I can't believe that (player) caused us to not tight the game." ........ whatever that means.

I don't like it either, but...
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/regardless
if this post auto-corrects to /regardless, just put 'ir' after the backslash
ir·re·gard·less adv \ˌir-i-ˈgärd-ləs\
Definition of regardless
nonstandard
: regardless
Usage Discussion of regardless
regardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.
Examples of regardless
I told them that regardless of what you read in books, they's some members of the theatrical profession that occasionally visits the place where they sleep. —Ring Lardner, The Big Town, 1921
Origin of regardless
probably blend of irrespective and regardless
First Known Use: circa 1912
*edit OK, this is really ticking me off lol. somehow when I post this most of the 'irr..' is replaced as just 'r'

I have to comment on this. 
I have an Uncle that only turns his cell phone on to make a call.
He was down here staying at my mom's and he called me one day, left a voice mail and asked me to call him back, I tried for like an hour and left many return voice mails.
When I arrived at my mom's that evening, he was all upset that I hadn't called him back. I said I had tried many times. Then my aunt says to him, "Did you turn off the phone after you called him?", he replied yes, and we all laughed. It still took him a bit to figure it out.

I hate calling customer service for anything these days and not being able to speak to a live person!
I hate calling customer service for anything these days - and on the oft chance I get to speak to a live person - I hate that they can't help me because "the computer won't let them make that change"!
On the oft chance that I get to speak to a live person, I hate always having to ask for the supervisor or manager or "anyone who can help resolve my problem" ... this is so exhausting.
I hate that any business can take your money in error in a matter of seconds, yet it takes 7-10 business days to get it corrected.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

"best ever" threads. Especially since most of them are based on opinion. They should be "Your favorite" threads, to differentiate from absolutes.
"your favorite" threads that turn into "they/it/he/she sucks, how can you like them/it/him/her"
People who ask a computer question, then when you try to answer they just ask for you to do it for them. So essentially they will come back in a few days with the same request because they have no interest in actually learning.
Volunteering for something then finding your the go-to person every time it needs done. no wonder no one ever volunteers anymore, or volunteering to help someone, only to end up doing it all yourself.

Oh, I forgot a big one.
I have a bunch of pet peeves, but there's only one that I would lump into the 'hate' category. That's when people don't let me finish a thought/sentence. Nothing gets me angrier, faster in a meeting than when someone (it's usually a mid-level manager) keeps interrupting me. It makes no sense because I'm usually the "technical expert" in these meetings, and I can't explain the answers to their own questions.
I wouldn't put this next one under 'hate', but I get agitated by people that who are easily angered. I used to room with a guy in school who would just go bonkers over the smallest stuff. Him and I were good buddies, but there were times I just couldn't be around him.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

The freaking Pittsburgh Steelers.
People from NE Ohio who are Steeler fans (they mostly just look like white trash & they are often found in trailer parks.)
The direction of the USA
Mainstream American culture
Dirty Conformists
Domestic Beer
Impure Supply
Junkies giving other Junkies a bad name
Consumerism
Faux gratitude......(you didn't mean thank you--you just said it b/c of habit.) Whats the freaking point of just saying it, if you don't really mean it. Its stupid.
Holy Rollers
Inconsiderate people...
Loud Talkers---no one wants to here about what you so totally did last night.
Well-done steak....
loud music

Are you saying I have to be truthfully greatful if I thank the kid at the local Wendy's for my burger? Saying 'thank you' is part of good manners. If more people just practiced good manners, the world would be a better place in which to live.

If you're not fully into the idea of giving me a hug (fyi: the greatest gift you can give someone)

IMO its a waste of time....you don't really mean it...the person your dealing with probably just wants you to go on your merry way....so why introduce one of the most overused expressions in the english language.....It just irritates me....
That...or the redundancy of the whole thing......do I really need to vocalize how thankful I am....can't I just be thankful without sharing?
Can't I just have the benefit of thinking: what a swell guy to pack my burger and fries so cozy in this paper sack.....do I really need to extend the warm fuzzies all around dude's crappy job....thank you so much for reducing yourself to working corporate, fast-food, and wearing that silly hat. Good job handing me my greasy fatty food with the utmost respect and courtesy.....thank you again....
I will make sure to come back here the next time I am craving something spectacularly unhealthy---yet served to me in the most well-intentioned manner possible.
If you really want to give the kid a thank-you, then give him some extra-money, or another job, or maybe a tasteful hand-written card.
But an off-the-cuff thank-you, that gets thrown out 100000x a minute in America...no....just no.
And while the fast-food subject is going through my head...
Why is it that you will be standing in a long, long line....and everyone is just standing there waiting---but it seems like no one has the sense to think about what they want as they are waiting?
Like, here I am....standing here...menu right in front of me---but I have better things to do than actually think about what I want---
that can wait....it can wait
all the way...
until its my turn at the front and I will stare blankly at the menu as though it had just somehow magically appears and suddenly i am confronted with a mind-bending number of fatty, grease laden choices.....
Like by the extravagant will of some morbidly obese genie that has somehow shoe-horned mimself out of his crusty lamp, wreaking of corn oil and vaseline--and now he is granting me my 3 wishes...
And I just can't make up my mind----and we will super-size that....

Cliched phrases that seem to never die or go away and they should. Such as:
"Breaking their silence"
"_________ silence is deafening"
"Double down" --when not referring to card games--it has to have been used in the news about fifty times this week about the story du jour.
"not so much"
Cell Phones.
Social Media (Is it wrong for me to be amused/glad that Facebook isn't climbing the charts like they thought it would?)
While I'm talking about it, Facebook.
and our current state/crop of immature, ignorant and feckless rubes the people of these United States sent to Congress or their respective states' house. The crap these buffoons come up with . . .
And lastly, people in positions of authority who put other people in positions of authority based not on capability/credentials but on their being "one of the boys" and then having to answer/deal with the incompetence that is a result of.

When my wife asks me something, or not, or she does, or heck I'm not sure.
Scenario #1
Wife: It is a beautiful day.
Me: (silent since it was a statement, not a question.)
Wife: So you don't want to talk to me now? Fine..
Scenario #2
Wife: isn't it a beautiful day.
Me: yes, the sun is shining brightly.
Wife: um yeah, you don't think I can know that? That's why I said it was a beautiful day.
Me: (brain freezes, can't compute what just happened)
Wife: So you don't want to talk to me now? Fine..
