PEEVES in CLOTHING ››
Clothes buttoned all the way up when they're on the hanger.
Every time I go to try on a shirt in a store I have to fiddle with like a mile of the world's tiniest buttons. It only needs the top one or two fastened to stay on the hanger!

Nipples on mannequins
The ever growing trend of including this part of anatomy on mannequins is absurd. It indicates that the mannequin mold creators (whoever they are) A) expect women to go braless all the time, B) want to show off that, with the piece of clothing on display; even if you're wearing a bra, it will look like you're not in the worst way possible, or C) are utterly dedicated to anatomical correctness. The first two are just stupid, and if it's the last one, the mannequin better have a colon, too.

People who do not remove their sunglasses indoors.
There's just something dodgy about someone who stands there, inside, out of the sun and elements, with their eyes hiding behind tinted glass as you count back change to them. Its even worse when they wear a hat with their sunglasses. You just sit there, hoping to God they don't hold you up.

"Man Purse"
Isn't this an old joke? Still, about once a week when a woman (a guy hasn't mentioned this yet - I'm waiting) sees my bag, purse, or satchel she'll say "hey, nice man purse, Biffy!" I usually respond, "it's actually a woman's purse." They'll say, "no ... haha ... it's a man purse!" Isn't this joke really old, and what is going on here? In an era where trannies run free in the fields, and homosexuals have spread their rainbow of fruit flavors across the the world with acceptance, why does having a smallish bag encourage people to lamely attempt to emasculate you?

Baggy boxer briefs.
You have three options: Boxers, briefs, and boxer-briefs.
Boxers are loose and cotton (pr perhaps silk, if you're one of those).
Boxerbriefs are tight and hot, with an element of lycra to make them so.
But, baggy stretchy t-shirt material boxerbriefs are the old sweatpants of underwear.
Go ahead and wear them when you're sick and farting around the house, but don't fool yourself into thinking they are appropriate for public display.

Good looking men with cool hair.
Like, alright, you're a good looking guy. So how about you stop gelling your hair every morning and maybe slob it up a little so the rest of us guys have a chance?

Exercise pants or shorts without pockets
When I go jogging, I really don't want to stuff my keys in my socks or down my underwear so I can get back into my damn apartment!

Trendy charity T-shirts
I'm sure you bought this cute t-shirt with the disease-appropriate ribbon/phrase including "green" or "eco-"/vague but possibly awareness-oriented slogan after seeing it on a sincere-looking celebrity in a magazine ad. And that of the $15 you paid for it, about $3 went to any actual charity organization. And now you get to walk around acting like you are a person who really cares and boasting that you just made a real difference. Instead of what you actually just did, which is "go shopping like usual."

Girls who wear heels and can't even walk in them.
I hate girls who try wayyy to hard to look good and fancy and buy these 2-inch heels and can't even walk in them. They taking baby millimetre steps and you can see in their faces they are in pain. It's come to a point where it's not even funny anymore how ridiculous they look trying to walk in in short skirts, stumbling as they flip their hair and giving so-called smoldering sexy eyes (which is just them giving a look of "help me!").

Pockets not tucked in.
I hate when my kids get dressed and they forget to tuck in their pockets of their jeans. When I go to the mall and see people walking around with the insides of their pockets sticking out, it drives me mad! Tuck in your $%#%@ pockets!

Hip children.
Kids should not dress stylishly. Fashion is about sex, and children don't have sex, so they should be allowed to dress however they like, not like mini adults.

The addition of sneakers to an otherwise formal outfit to indicate hipness or casualness.

Zippers that don't quite zip up all the way, and so begin to zip down instead.
I have a lot of used -- uh, sorry, *vintage* -- clothing, so this irks me regularly.

Causing a garment to slip off its hanger at retail stores.
I'll give money to the homeless. I'll volunteer 35 hours a week to work with DV victims. I'll pick up litter. I'll squander my 20's working with Holocaust survivors, but I cannot -- ABSOLUTELY CANNOT -- be bothered to bend down to pick up a shirt that I've knocked off its hanger. Well, maybe if I'm at Barney's.

On draw-string garments when one end of the cord has squirmed all the way into the fabric.
