for example: people on their cell phones, manners, etiquette, etc...
I need to collect enough data for my research paper that I am working on.
what ticks me off is when people talk loud on their cell phones when in a restaurant, or when people chew loud when they're eating, these are some of the examples I need. Which are yours?

People talking on their cell phones in any public establishment, especially if they're talking loudly or if they are talking at a time when they should be paying attention to something else.
People who don't pay attention to what their kids are doing in public, and thus let them climb all over stuff, get into stuff they're not supposed to, etc.
People who steal food off your plate without asking.
People who are unnecessarily rude to people in customer service positions who haven't done anything wrong.
People who lick their fingers to go through their money, then hand the money to you.
People who drive like they're the only car on the road that matters, and your life is inconsequential compared to their ability to go wherever they want without being incumbered by driving laws.
People you don't know who breathe so heavily that you can feel/smell their breath hit you from a few feet away. If you're going to breathe that heavily, please don't direct it at my face.
People who don't respect personal space.
Pretty much anything annoying that a person could do ticks me off.

And last, but far from least - People who call me or ask me in person to do their internet search for something they want to purchase; some place they want to go on vacation; etc etc etc. and say "You are so good at stuff like that" - am I supposed to be flattered? ... especially when you have your own computer!

The rings with sucky music. I hate cell phones in general. I hate seeing people using them. I hate to imagine what the bill is. I hate trendy cell phones especially the camera ones. I would like to shoot anyone driving and talking on one. Cell phones should be outlawed. Bring back phone booths.

Wha ticks me off is the fact that prejudice is still in the world. Think about the millions who have died and are still dying for freedom from predjudice. I am so sick of people who try to put everyone in a sterotype. I'm African American. That doesn't mean I smoke, it doesn't mean that I only listen to rap, it doesn't mean I don't speak proper English. Martin Luther King and many others fought for equality. Not just for black people, but for everyone!
So why isn't freedom ringing?

Cell phones are a pet peeve, I agree. But, nothing pisses me off more than when I hear about spousal or child abuse. I have never witnessed it, but if I ever did, I would deck the guy. It's just not called for.

It really ticks me off when I am reading in class and someone is tapping his/her pen on the desk. Even when I tell them to stop, they don't. Everyone doesn't listen.
I also agree with you for when someone is in a restaurant and talking on HER cellphone loudly. It takes away all the relaxation.

What ticks me off the most are people that don't have NO MORALS. To be more specific it ticks me off when single women mess around with married men. This is so wrong and these people have no regard or respect for who all that it effects and hurts.
