Yeah, the lack of people using proper English pisses me off. Then again, I was an English major, so go figure.
The whole American English vs European English thing also pisses me off. Ok, you guys across the pond spell things your way, we do it our way. Lets all just shut up about where we place our u's or lack thereof. We all know what each other is talking about for the most part, so let's just take a deep breath and say who gives a shit.
And Che and Kisuke, you guys should come to Flushing. You'd love all the asian drivers here. Seriously.
Good god Pete, you must hate me then. Cuz I cant spel 4 shite and my eanglish sux.
Anyways what irks me. Hmmmm.
People who know the rules / laws and bitch about it when they are busted doing something they shouldn't of been doing.
Example: "****in cop gave me a ticket for doing 69MPH in a 65MPH!"
This is just ludicris to me and beyond obsurd.
Misplacing my cell phone / keys and realizing it 10 minutes before I have to go some where.
Kids crying because they don't get their way, also applies back to the first one in this post. Mainly this revolves around my kids. Tempertantrums piss me off. I use to have some patience with my oldest boy but after the 10,000 cryfest it has got a little old and the punishments are alot swifter and harsher for them.
This list could go on and on but I am about to head home, check back later I might add a few more things. Maybe not.

These 2. Granted... to a degree, I do the first a little on stupid things, but when someone is complaining for getting kicked out of the bar for starting a fight?
"I only hit the guy with my fist! I didn't even use a bottle this time!" - this is something I actually heard last night... wtf?
As for misplacing items... ffs, I can't seem to locate crap when I'm in a rush or when i have plenty of time and I think I might get somewhere early? Nothing can be found.
Also, people who read over your shoulder. If I wanted you to read what I was typing, I'd move out of the way.

I really hate that as well. If people consciously decide to break the rules then try to wiggle their way out after they've been caught are lowlifes to put in civily. Of course, their reaction to being caught isn't surprising since they are trying to "cheat" and will do whatever to get away with it; in the end they have no honor.
You know what really grinds my gears?
All funnies aside, what really grinds my gears is when people say "same difference" when comparing; they should say "same thing". There is no difference! It is a comparison of two things not a contrast. "Same difference" would apply if they were contrasted or do people use "Same thing" when contrasting? Is it just flipped to annoy somebody like me to no end?! It is so stupid; people think before you speak!! Aaaaarrrrrggghh!!!!!!!

Yes! Or people who say "I could care less" when they really mean "I couldn't care less". Oh, so you could care less? How much less?

What if you don't care at all, so you say "I could care less," as if to say that you care lower than not at all? Saying "I couldn't care less" could actually be taken as a compliment, because the statement doesn't state how much you care to begin with.
What really grinds my gears; I hate penny loafers. How much more gay can a shoe get? The answer is none. None more gay.

I also hate people who kick the backs of chairs in movie theaters, motorists who splash pedestrians by speeding through puddles, and people who are consistently late.
