Some that come to mind are:

1.  When a ride comes to pick you up, they honk instead of knocking on the door.

2.  Someone who prepares food without washing their hands first.

3.  The grammatical structure, "Me and Joe drove over to Pensacola."  ...instead of "Joe and I..."

4.  Folks who walk their dogs and let 'em do their business in your yard, then don't clean it up.

5.  People who don't return business calls when they say they will.

6.  Friends who come to visit and don't bring beer, or whatever, and then drink your supply.

7.  When driving...folks who speed up to a stop sign like they're not gonna stop.  Or they stop and creep up a little when your car is right on top of 'em.  Like they're gonna pull out in front of you.

Not to get off topic: Holden McGroin, those Pollack paintings are nice.  Bet he had fun doing those.  Interesting art related tidbit here.  Tolouse Lautrec and some other impressionist artists  experimented with shooting paint from a muzzleloader onto litho stones and then printeing them.  Not sure whether he incorporated this technique into his known litho posters, or if they were purely experimental.  Did you see the "Mail Call" show where R. Lee Ermey blasted the paint cans hanging over the canvas with a shotgun?  Hehe, pretty darn cool. :D

Pull up behind a guy at a red light. Then he hits his left turn signal when the light turns green, making you wait for him to turn. I hate those people!

people who say "can I axe you a question"

I can't help but think (and sometimes say), "I'd like to AXE you"

Pet Peeve: Folks who are uptight and get upset over stupid little things that that don’t really matter.  
(And dudes who want to watch me pee.)

Pet peeve: Workaholics that think people who don't happen to share their same disease are lazy.

A presentation at 7:00pm on Sunday night on a holiday weekend? Wtf is up with that?

It's akin to an alcoholic forcing everyone around them to get stoopid drunk.

People that have no left lane discipline...

ie they drive 5 miles an hour below the speed limit and hold everyone else up because they feel like being the self centered civilian police...

People like that need fines... big frigging fines...

People that walk down the middle of parking lot lanes blocking cars driving down the lanes. They usually walk and act like livestock, oblivious to the fact that they are walking in traffic.

People that hold on to my hand too long during what was assumed to be a normal hanshake.....yuk! fargs..

What exactly is a pet peeve?  What would you feed a pet peeve?  Why would anybody want a pet peeve?  Are they messy?  Do they make noises? Do they destroy furniture?

When the cashier says
 "i'll help the next in line"

You know that your landing gear is up and locked when it takes full power to taxi to the terminal

kinda adding on to NUKE's reply,

people that KNOW they are in crosswalks and literally slow down because it is a control issue.......and they give you THAT LOOK.  Yes, you will wait on ME.
