Men who always claim their phone died.
Seriously the minute my phone dies I charge it. It shouldn't take a dude three days to do so and call me back. Just broke up with someone for doing this shit.
Charge your phone and call people back and you won't get dumped.

People who recline their airline seats as far as possible for an entire flight.
My kids and I sat behind a couple and their child for an entire 8 hour transatlantic flight yesterday. It was a daylight flight, not overnight. They reclined, practically into our laps, the entire time, even when they were sitting forward to eat, or getting up to go to the bathroom, etc.

Leaving left over time on the microwave.
You heat something up in the microwave for a minute. You let the microwave run for 57 seconds. Is it too much to ask that you clear off the remaining 3 seconds?!

People on any type of competition style show who say "I'm not playing around. I'm here to win!"
Every time a contestant is interviewed they always feel the need to remind the viewer WHY they're on the show. Really? No shit. I kind of figured that out by the mere fact that you are a CONTESTANT!

Pushing food onto your fork with your fingers.
Sure, there are foods we eat with our hands - sandwiches, pizza and the like - but if you have a fork in your hand, use a KNIFE to move food onto the fork, if the fork itself is not adequate. Would you go outside to shovel snow, lay down the shovel and use your hands to place snow on the shovel? No! Would you throw a bath towel on the floor and roll around on it to dry yourself off? No! Use the proper tool properly, otherwise, just scoop your food into your mouth and forget the fork, cuz that's basically what you're doing.
Besides being illogical, it's gross!
Also, bring the fork to your mouth, do not bring your face to the fork. You are not an animal at the trough. That kind of gobbling greed (in SUCH a hurry to eat you can't wait for the fork!) is effing disgusting.
Please and thank you.

People that add an "S" to store names that are not plural.
"I have to go to Wal Marts, you can buy that at Victoria's Secrets, I am on Nutri Systems".

People who say "schedule" to sound like "shedule".
Why have they picked this word to pronounce that way?! How do they say "school"? Or "schooner"? "Scheme"? Or what about "schizophrenic"?!

ASSORTED PEEVES ››
When family members invite themselves to events.
Especially when it's supposed to be a date night, or a birthday celebration with friends (e.g- at a bar, where you plan on getting FUBARed)
Relatives who refuse to treat you like an adult just because they knew you when you were a child.
My mother still tells me to go to the bathroom before we take a car trip. My step-mother sometimes uses the "little kid" voice on me (which should be a peeve of it's own). If I had more pride (and money), I'd probably be annoyed by older relatives still assuming they are paying for meals all the time.
When parents start voicemail messages with "hey [name], it's your mother/father."
I've been hearing your voice my entire life, i can probably figure out who it is!
Leaving left over time on the microwave.
You heat something up in the microwave for a minute. You let the microwave run for 57 seconds. Is it too much to ask that you clear off the remaining 3 seconds?!
Making coffee when the sink is full of dirty dishes.<br />
<br />
a) It's really difficult to pour the old leftover coffee out of the pot without spilling it on the counter; and b) it's almost impossible to position the pot under the faucet. And it's even worse if it was your turn to wash the dishes the night before.
When people buy a huge bag of cheap rice.
Are you kidding me? We don't need the shittiest possible rice imaginable, here. There's a taste difference and a nutritional difference and decent unbleached rice is not that difficult to afford or find.
Why anyone who makes more than $2 per hour would purchase cheap rice is so beyond me - it's like it should be illegal on another planet.
People who compare their relationship to Romeo and Juliet
OK, if you're 14, both of your families are in a terrible blood feud, and you're ready to kill yourself over someone you've only known for a week, you MIGHT have a point. Otherwise, you're just proving you have never read Shakespeare. Way to go, dummy.
"What Are You Thinking About?"
You are courting a person of the opposite sex. There is a moment of silence. They say this to you.
Can I Ask You a Question?
That is the worst questions you can ever get especially from someone from the opposite sex. They don't just want to ask you a question, but want to ruin the friendship that you currently have by spelling out that they are interested in you and don't want to be just friends anymore. Just because I am one of the few girls that talks to you, doesn't mean that we are meant for each other.
The Mac-PC War.
I'm tired of the Mac vs PC war. It has come down to the commercials. Just pick one, hook your iPod to it and be on your merry way. Don't try to convince us why we should switch!
When the sound transmission delay on your cell phone is such that every time you speak, you accidentally interrupt someone.
"So, how are you?"
"..."
"I wanted to tell you that my mom died tragically in a vibrator accident last Tues--"
"Good."
"Sent from my iPhone" or "Sent from my Blackberry"
Um, are you just showing off? "Look, I got a smart phone!!! I can check and send email from my phone!!!" I get it, you have an expensive phone. You pay a lot for a data plan. I get it. I don't have a problem about with it. But why is this your signature? When you send emails from your computer, does it say "Sent from my Desktop"?
