I'm sure there's a thread like this already, but I'm starting my own.. damnit.
Vent freely. Here are my top 10:
10. My company's and miss website blocking. I still have this forum, but they've taken my Giant In The Playground and Fark.
9. People doing that annoying 'drunk posting' thing on a message board. You know, the "HEY I"M DRUKN AND POSTINEG ON THIS EMSSGEAGEBOARD. LOL" We get it, you're drinking. The gratuitous typos make you look like an idiot.
8. The fact that David Byrne refuses to do a Talking Heads reunion.
7. The neighbors letting their dog run loose. I just know that my dog is going to mangle it one day, and I'm going to catch hell.
6. Neighborhood kids running around my yard, leaving toys behind, and crawling under the porch. (I sound like an old man.)
5. The fact that my 'teammates' at work love to have bonding activities at least once a week... social events, pot lucks, etc... Leave me alone and let me do my job.
4. My wife leaving the front door unlocked.
3. My $200 car having less problems over the past year than the vehicle that's financed.
2. Conservative radio making it up as they go along.
1. REALLY wanting to start my own small business but lacking the capital.
My top pet peeve: People who ask if they look fat/ ugly.
10. People waiting to get on a bus but stand in the way when people are trying to get off the bus.
9. Customers that say to me "you got some earrings in the window?" meaning they want to see a certain pair. It's only so long until I reply "Yes. Yes we do" to them.
8. The shop assistant that ID'ed me yesterday. I didn't have ID on me but explained I was 23. He then said "Only joking. Thought you might like the compliment" Oh great! Either I look 17 or old & haggered! Cheers love! (I really was not in the mood for that crap yesterdays)
7. Euro 2008! Can't wait till that's over & I can have my boyfriend back to myself at the weekend rather than watching bleedin' football!
6. My skin. It's really dull & rubbish at the moment.
5. Stupid chavs that play God awful music out of their mobile phones when walking around. Just don't! Nobody wants to hear your music especialy when it's all distorted.
4. People that get in front of you then walk really slow.
3. People talking to me when I've just woke up. Leave it till I've had a pee & a cuppa coffee. I'll be far more sociable then.
2. My computer running slow but because it's slow & keeps freezing I can't close the programme making it run slow.
1. What happened to me yesterday - Had to go to Cardiff in Wales for training for work & have never been there before. I got there, it was raining, I had no umbrella. Spent £10 on an umbrella!! Still got soaked. So I was not only wet & cold (my shoes had also leaked) but then was lost in a big city wandering around in the rain until I found the place. I did ask for directions but couldn't understand the accent very well. As for training, might as well taught me to suck eggs! What a waste of time!
aaaaaand relax! It's good to vent!
When out of the goodness of your heart you offer to give someone from work a lift home because they missed the last bus, even though it's 8miles in the opposite direction of where your heading, conversation is limited all the way there, but as soon as you pull up out side their front door they start blah blah blahing and hold you up for a further ten minutes or so......
I've done my good deed....... now get out!! 
1) People who drive 3 inches from my rear bumper.
2) People who drive 3 inches from my front bumper.
9. Patients who think everyone wants to see their goods and refuse to cover up or be covered up. I'm doing an invasive procedure on you, do you really want to try to distract me with your pubes?
8. New residents and nursing students with their test-ordering happiness. My co-workers are quickly teaching me of these evil people.
7. These kids on the BandAid commercials, 'cause they always sing better than me.
6. The bastard at the checkout of the sex toy shops who feels the need to grope my toys after buying them. I get it, you have to show me that it works. Do you really have to fondle it, too?
5. The lube at the sex toy shops. So good, so expensive, so not enough in the bottle..
4. That one guy at the store who feels the whole store is made for him and nobody else. He demonstrates this by leaving his cart in the middle of the main walking aisle and walking, very slowly might I add, down the side aisles, taking his sweet ass time selecting the store-brand salsa he knew he was going to get yet had to triple check the newspaper advertisement three or four times before finally grabbing it, then returning to his cart to move.
3. When that one guy at the store who feels the whole store is made for him and nobody else bitches that I moved his cart out of my way, too. And people wonder why I grab a box of condoms upon walking in to the store to toss in these peoples carts if they irritate me.
2. Whenever I have difficulties thinking of a number 2 on my lists. It always happens, damned it. Never number three, or number one.. always number two.
1. Oh. Speaking of number 2. When people are afraid to type POOP on a forum.
- People who abandon, mistreat, abuse, neglect and fail to spay/neuter their animals.
- Unwanted, wasteful, time consuming paper junk mail and spam emails.
- Poor, mediocre, lousy, indifferent, annoying, dreadful customer service (on phone and in person.)
- People who do not properly discipline/control/train/raise their children, and who then "inflict them" on the rest of us in public settings.
- Poor spelling and grammar. Education is a beautiful thing.
- People who drive like idiots. (Carelessly, recklessly, rudely, unsafe, distracted, yammering on cell phones, texting, etc.)
- Atrocious air quality coupled with sizzling hot summer temperatures.
- National chain restaurants who refuse to disclose nutritional information for their menu items ... not at the restaurant, not online, not by email.
- Deployments. (I miss my husband!)
- Military Pay Screw-ups. (Let's get it right, shall we?)
MOLLY
People who leave all of the lights on in the house at night when its really not necessary.
Hair in a nailbrush - small but urgh!
People who don't use their indicators - especially at roundabouts as they make you wait for no reason at all then turn off just before where you're coming out - inconsiderate, ignorant and lazy!!
People who spit on the pavements. It is gross, unhygienic and gets into peoples houses by way of stroller wheels and shoes where people walk barefoot and babies crawl. Eugh! Use a tissue!
People who litter - now they're the ones who should get fined rather then the poor motorist all the time. NO Excuse.
10. That my husband refuses to acknowledge that "doing the dishes" includes the pots and pans. They don't do themselves hon.
9. Kids who talk through lectures - sure, I believe you're smart enough that you don't need to pay attention, but sadly I'm not so stfu.
8. Superfluous packaging. Honestly? Do I need a bag in a box in a bag wrapped in clingwrap? Do you really think I won't buy your item if it doesn't look fancy?
7. The guy who posted the youtube video of his dogs terrorising and killing iguanas on the beach in Puerto Rico. In what bizarro world is that **** funny?
6. Young men on the internet. I don't believe you're that vile and misogynistic in real life, so quit being "that guy" on the internet.
5. Slow walkers. We have slow and fast lanes for driving, can we please get a yellow line on the sidewalk?
4. People who drive through the intersection even when cars are backed over the pedestrian line. If you're not absolutely certain that you can get through the lights before they change DO NOT ENTER THE INTERSECTION. Oh, and they are generally yacking away with a cellphone up to their ear, which is a whole other pet peeve.
3. People who forward email alerts without checking to see if they are real or not. This goes for people who repeat urban legends like they are fact.
2. People who will not accept that when you disagree with their view on something, it isn't simply a case of being misinformed. I know as much about the topic as you, I just don't agree with your conclusion on the matter. Deal with it.
1. Facebook. If I haven't seen you in 15 years, there is a reason. Please don't add me as a friend. We're not.
10. poor grammar and spelling, including chatspeak.
9. having artist's block.
8. getting paint on nice clothes.
7. guys in trucks who feel the need to assert their masculinity by driving like a**holes.
6. teenagers who are completely ignorant of the world around them.
5. people with no life ambition.
4. people who intently watch me making their smoothies at smoothie king.
3. hand cramps while playing the piano.
2. "friends" who only call you to b*tch about another friend, their parents, their job, etc and never talk to you otherwise.
1. people who make noises while they eat.
9. People who spit or hack up anything in front of you. Very gross and rude!
8. Negative people. People who are consistant complainers and get annoyed when you are happy or the attention is off them
7. People who are lie constantly
6. People with no ambition or refuse to better them selfs (ie: young girls with 2 or 3 kids living on welfare and not doing anything to better herself)
5. Slow walkers! MOVE IT!!
4. gossips that need to talk about others because they have no life, hence nothing to talk about.
3. People who are constantly late and expect you to wait around
2. Cliques
1. the smell of cat poop
10. People that walk 2 or 3 abreast on a sidewalk when you're coming towards them, and assume that because they're in a group, they don't need to move to let others pass by. Hello?!! I exist too! Just because you're a bunch of rich socialites doesn't mean that I want to walk in the mud!
9. Girls who waste exorbitant amounts of money on frivolous purchases ($100 on those Vera Bradley "bags," seriously, they're like ugly tapestries) and then complain they don't have enough money.
8. Drunk a**holes. Just because you're drunk doesn't mean you have to destroy or vandalize someone else's property.
7. Poor grammar. For the last time, you LOSE weight, and your pants get LOOSE.
6. This kind of goes along with #7, but people who find it necessary to speak in AIM lingo all the time. Is it really that much more effort to hit the two extra letters to spell "you" instead of "u"??
5. People who judge others for things they cannot control. It's not someone's fault they may be short, or have a large nose, or an oddly shaped mole.
4. People that assume that because I have tattoos and piercings, I am a total amoralistic hellion that will eat your children and destroy the world. It's art, it's self-expression, and you can keep your opinions to yourself if you only have negative things to say.
3. Those stupid magazines like "Self" and "Seventeen" that continually perpetuate the message that our self worth can be assessed by the following things: how much makeup we wear to cover up our flaws, how much money we spend on the latest designer labels, how much we weigh, and of course, if we have a boyfriend. If we are not boderline underweight and in a long-term relationship, we MUST be total failures.
2. Abstinence-only sex education. People will have sex. Let's make sure they do it safely.
1. Negative body image. I am who I am, not who the media wants me to be.
10. Spam emails and junk mail
9. When my neighbors (ALL of them) just sit and talk for hours everyday in their driveway. Go in your backyards people. Don't you ever get sick of looking at each other? (I know I do!)
8. People who walk/bike/jog on the road and don't even move over one inch when cars drive by
7. Loud eaters at the movies....or when someone just keeps wriggling their fingers in their popcorn.....eat it already!
6. People who text while driving
5. Why do people in a neighborhood all have to mow the lawn at the same time?
4. Why do the above forementioned people all have to have their yards look exactly the same?
3. When people turn their dogs out to bark from 8:00-9:30pm so I can listen to barking dogs during my favorite tv shows.
2. People who get pissed off and give me dirty looks when they see my family being seated next to them in a family restaurant just because I have little kids.
1. I have to mention the neighbors again. I hate looking out my window, no matter what time of day, they are out there sitting around talking. Day after day after day. Its really kind of weird. (we live in a cul-de-sac).
lulufit: you don't happen to live in Stepford Connecticut do you?
10. People who can't be on time. It's completely disrespectful to whoever you're meeting - buy a watch!
9. Bad drivers. I could make a top 10 list just on this topic - turn off your blinker when you aren't turning, turn on your blinker when you are, drive at least the speed limit, open your eyes, put down your cell phone, pay attention!
8. People who wander aimlessly down the middle of the aisle at the grocery store (or any store for that matter). Please step off to the side so I can get around you, I have other things to do today!
7. Liars... at the very least, be a good liar.
6. People who explote my skills at work but fail to ever return the favor - I'm just way too nice and always say yes =/
5. People constantly talking to me about my 'diet'. It's not a diet (in the commonly accepted sense of the word) and it's not your concern.
4. Arrogance. Confidence is great, arrogance stinks.
3. Mosquitoes & their bites!
2. Know-it-alls (well.. this kind fits under #7 and #4, but it deserves another mention).
1. My gosh darn doctoral program admission requirements - look, I am great and everyone loves me. I will be your best admit ever. My GRE verbal score and the C+ I got in Calculus II six years ago don't matter!! (Oops - I am my own #4). 
1. When people don't turn off the lights when they're done in a room
2. When people chew with their mouth open so you get to hear the oh so lovely sloshing sounds
3. When people leave the fridge or freezer open while they prepare foods (I don't mind if they're just grabbing something out of a package without taking it out or something, but when you get out everything to make a sandwich and leave the fridge open the whole time you're putting it together, that's a little too much for me!)
4. When people tell me I don't talk enough..like telling me that is going to make me want to talk to you!
5. People who talk with their mouth full
6. People who force their beliefs on others and tell people they're stupid for thinking something different
7. The food industry passing off junk food as health food
8. The lack of education in healthy eating (unless you take a special class for it...at my high school, in health they just show us the food pyramid and that's about it. They don't explain it even. To get a breakdown of nutrients and calories and the need for exercise, you have to take Advanced Sports Med and people don't think to take that.)
9. Stole this from someone else =P it explains my relationship with pretty much all of my high school friends (which is why I don't plan on contacted them much now that I'm out!): "friends" who only call you to b*tch about another friend, their parents, their job, etc and never talk to you otherwise.
10. When people come around the corner too fast and nearly hit you at the grocery store..then look at you like YOU should apologize to them. (I do, but I think it's just habit/my natural reaction because I know I shouldn't have to =P)
Ah two more...I forgot until now! When people don't cover their mouth when they sneeze/cough. And when people always talk to me about my diet and ask me what they should be eating for 1 meal...They're just gonna eat junk after anyways.
Ok I'm done (but believe me I could come up with more! haha)

AMEN
p0nda, LOL! I have always thought they were more like the pod people from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"! hee hee
Ok, another pet peeve: Family members that ask me for money then sh** on me and try to shame/guilt/judge me for not being their religion.
I hate the way people sound when they eat bananas.
thats all.
