What is it that always seems to get your goat. The instant someone does it it drives you up the wall. What is your pet peeve?
I have several but one of them is when people drive under the speed limit even if traffic is running smoothly and the conditions are excellant.

No milk in the fridge when you wake up wanting cereal for breakfast, because someone couldn't get up off their butt and go get some...

my absolute biggest pet peeve is rude intolerant and inconsiderate people on cell phones
we were just at a restaurant the other day and the lady at the next table heard her cell phone go off. she answered it immediately with a very long very loud hhhhheeeeellllllllllooooo
and as the conversation went on she continued to get louder and louder. when her conversation was over i said in a loud enough voice for her to hear, to my hubby i said i hate rude people, some people just dont have the decency to excuse themselves from the table to take a phone call
now honestly i do have a cell phone but when in such a place as a restaurant or a theatre my phone is on, but on vibrate. if it rings/vibrates ill look at the number and if i think its important ill excuse myself from the area to answer the call, and quickly, but quietly get to the point and get off the phone and return to my guests

I recoil everytime I hear someone crack their knuckles purposely. It's one thing when you hit the back of a hand against the wall or a bed head board and they crack accidently. But I hate the sound of cracking bones. Which is why I will never go to a chiropractor.

I have many.
You already mentioned people who drive too slow, especially on the left (US).
When and how did flip-flops migrate off the beach? Casual wear to the grocery store or backyard barbecue is fine with me. With a skirt to work?! What are you thinking?

When girls stay with guys who treat them like trash!! WHY?? Why do you stay with them?? It's driving me nuts more than usual cause one of my friends has been seeing this guy for months now and he does some of the meanest things to her and for some reason she doesnt see it!!
ex: He was trying to hide her from his daughter so when the daughter came home and my freind was in his bedroom, he shoved her out on the balcony wrapped only in a sheet in the freezing cold!! and LEFT HER THERE for 20 minutes!! and she was telling me this *laughing* as though it was a funny little thing he did. i was like...What!?!
Then she gets all amazed when my fiance carries heavy things into the house for me, like that *isnt* normal!!
I could go on and on, but.....*sigh*
Anyways, there it is.

Folks who hold up elevators while yakkin.
Folks who knock too loud on the next door over from me.
Late people.
Music, movies, or TV way too loud.
Too loud cell phone conversations that aren't yours.
Finally, folks who answer questions with questions.

People that don't realize how UNGODLY RUDE it is to talk on your cell phone when purchasing something. It's disrespectful to the cashier/salesman, and it's rude to the people waiting in line behind you...because the cashier/salesperson has to repeat everything back. Know when to put the phone down, people.

When people are intolerant of others. For example, I worked for a home that housed adults with various mental problems. When we had to send one of them to the hospital, we would also have to send a "staff" with them because the nurses were afraid of these people. The one they were the most afraid of was mentally 6 months old! They were supposed to be medical professionals and referred to "my guys" as psychotic! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
