What is something that gets on your nerves?

What gets on my nerves are bad drivers who cut out in front of me, go way under the speed limit, and don't signal.
 
When people are late or cause me to be late - being late is definitely one of my pet peeves.
 
Humans in general.

Anytime someone tries to hide their true intentions with the masquerade of word play, it gets on my nerves. A couple of examples of what I'm talking about:
  • “I’m sorry you feel that way” - either apologize or don’t, but don’t be a weasle and try to shift blame with your nifty word tricks.
  • “But this is how we’ve always done it….” - not a legitimate reason to continue any course of action.
  • “They said….” - who said? Unless you’re willing to identify the antecedent, everything that follows a pronoun is meaningless.

I hear ya....
 
Bad theology gets on my nerves.

People who trim their nails at work.

Loud chewers of food.

Loud neighbors who let their kids ride their 4x4s on their property that has caused such damage to the landscape that it floods the back of my property every time it rains now.

People who let their dogs bark outside for hours.

People who fight to kill their babies aka abortion.

People who blame everything on one political person as if he did all this damage to the country.
 
A couple more of mine:

1. When people use the far left lane on any multi-lane road or freeway for anything other than passing, especially if there is another car behind them (i.e., me) that clearly wants to go faster than they are going.

2. People who stop just inside the entrance of a store, blocking the way for anyone behind them.
 
Personally, it gets on my nerve when people are so rude without showing remorse. I need to stay away from them as much as possible.
