I hate when people tell me to grow up. I also hate minnesota drivers in general.
Don't worry in ten years if your still on the internet you'll be telling everyone to do that anyway, pay back.
Another Bus thing:
I hate people who make sure they're the first to enter the bus, but then keep standing right at the door, virtually blocking the path for everybody who wants to enter

Ah, public transport!
People getting on trains not waiting for people to get off. I saw two old ladies trying to get off the train being pushed back in by suits, not even noticing them. Me and another passenger cleared the way for them. We shoved the arrogant bastards out of the train to wait their turn.

I hate the impulse to tell people to grow up. The people that make me want to say it are usually in their mid-twenties or older - if you're thirteen, that behavior is excusable, if you're 25, you should know better.

I don't like arguments on civfanatics forums that potentially take any longer than 20 minutes.

Noisy eaters that also eat slowly. It's excessively distracting
Yeah, that is very annoying. And they never even realize how horrible it sounds.
Mind that I mean noisy eaters - the people who go far beyond reasonable standards.
Yes, that's certainly true. I think everyone applies them once in a while on a small scale, but some people do it all the time and quite ridiculously. And that irks me.
And a couple more of mine...
*People who think they're better than everyone else, or superelitists if you prefer. If someone really is good at something I don't mind them saying so, but some people think they're better than everyone at everything and always brag when they do better at something than other people. And they deride anyone who they think isn't good enough and are jealous of anyone who's better. I certainly advocate meritocracy in general, but excessive elitism is just appalling.
*People who are just plain inconsiderate. I don't expect everyone to be Gandhi, but some people are incredibly inconsiderate.
Put together those four things pretty much describe my college roommate this year. Throw in absolutely no social skills as well, though that in itself isn't a major pet peeve of mine. It's far more of a reason than the workload that I'm looking forward to the end of the year - living with your pet peeves every day is just not fun.

I am not a thing I am an it.
I started off saying "thread" but then thought, "Gee! How geeky does that sound?" and went with the generic "thing".
People who smack when they eat, or chew with their mouth open, (usually the same). It seems to be some infantile need for attention, from parents congratulating their children for eating.
Its so annoying, I want to throttle some people and tell them to learn some manners, as I sew their chyme holes shut. Nobody wants to see your half digested food in your mouth, and nobody wants to hear the mixture of saliva and partially soggy bread mixed together and clapping around your crumby lips.

Can you provide an example?

I rest my case, you were so far wrong that you'd picked up the ball and run with your wrongness, I was chatting to a mathmo friend of mine and he actually started laughing when I told him what you said, apparently you are an idiot, not my words.
And actually I wasn't referring to you exactly as I've in living memory seen you admit you are wrong.

Still no example of you admitting to being wrong 
It is kinda funny that these sorta debates are what you talk about with your friends.
Oh, I'm sure your friend would agree with me if he actually like saw the thread not heard your twisted interpretation of it.I rest my case, you were so far wrong that you'd picked up the ball and run with your wrongness, I was chatting to a mathmo friend of mine and he actually started laughing when I told him what you said, apparently you are an idiot, not my words.

I'm afraid Perfection you are so wrong that you have violated the speed of wrong and caused a loop in causality that may well have unforseen implications on how wrong you are in future. you really are that bad aren't you, I tell you what go back and read the thread and if you can work out how you are not wrong given what I said, then post again, otherwise I will take that as an admisson that you are wrong, and we can all move on. Deal?Even Fifty said you were wrong.
