The worst is people who still pay for groceries with checks.

You're right though, i can't stand people who stand on line waiting forever and when they get up to pay, they don't have their money ready.

Any team from Pittsburgh
The use of the word "actually"- it changes nothing in any sentence.
Texting while driving.
Women not putting up the toilet seat when done.
Uncontrolled children ( especially in grocery stores)
Made up first names.
People who only get involved with soccer during the World Cup.
Jaywalkers - JR can verify this problem here in B'more.
Liberty Mutual commercials- I never realized how stupid white males were

The person that has 17 items in the 10 item or less express line. They wait until after everything has been scanned and bagged and then, while the cashier is waiting patiently, they slowly fumble in pocket or purse for a debit card. They then swipe their card upside down, and after getting help from the cashier, they cannot remember their PIN, and stand there with a stupid blank look on their face. After memory returns, they then request cash back, which adds more time to the transaction. When all is finally done, the time they used up could have served four or five patrons behind them that had the proper number of items and payed with cash.

The Lincoln race track use to have a window for win, place and show wagers so you wouldn't have to stand behind somebody who was reeling off a bunch of exotic combinations. The exotic bettors ignored the sign and the teller took their bets any way. I use to get so steamed because I have always waited until the seconds to make my win wagers. It is not the exotic bettors had any idea of what odds they getting any way.

People who do this at the track when it is their turn at the teller or Sam window right at post time and stand there talking instead of betting. So far I have dodged it, but if ever one of these dolts shuts me out there is going to be a brawl.

Pet peeves
Amazing thread.
I thought I was an outlier for getting pissed at so many of these pretty much daily occurences. Turns out I am in the mainstream of PA members (which may be a pet peeve in and of itself!).
Carry on!

People who walk slow and don't walk straight at the airport or other confined space. You can do one or the other, not both.
People who saunter through the crosswalk while I'm waiting to make a turn. I understand you have the right of way. That doesn't mean you have to be a dick. The world works so much better when we're considerate to one another. And I don't really give a $&!? about your cool roll.

On the OP's left turn arrow rant:
At 2 am when there is no other vehicle on the road within a mile of me, I'm going to make a left turn against the red arrow. Otherwise, it's the triumph of form over substance.

The people who make an issue of you having a few more than 10 items.
Major league dicks.

People that think that they are somehow special, and that rules and guidelines that others follow do not apply to them, because they have no consideration for others and think that their instant gratification and imagined wants and needs are the most important things in the world.
