People who wander around the world with the tip of their nose (or their cellphone) as the limit of their situational awareness. Driving, walking, shopping... doesn't really matter.

After spending a whole day packing into the mountains, setting up camp, getting up in the dark to climb up a mountainside to be ready at first light to hunt only to find candy wrappers on the ground. That’s my pet peeve.

If you have a cat that likes to unroll the TP, you can solve the problem by turning the roll around so it winds up when they spin it (under), instead of unwinding (over).

Firm handshake and eye contact. I get really disappointed in people that make me feel like I'm gripping a wet towel and on top of that they either look away into the distance or towards the ground...

My pet peeve is the number of people that are so gullible and so easy to manipulate that they've bought into the nonsense that's been consuming the country. How can so many people be so ... never mind. I'll get in trouble.

Firearms photos that include the photographer's feet!
Also, the words boolits and shotty.

Folks who use “charge hole” to mean chamber(s) on a firearm.
I know, I know. Smith has used the term, but it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard to me!

Now you're making me feel guilty, thinking back to all the times I silently cursed somebody in their bathroom who may just have been a thoughtful cat owner ....

The term "pet peeve" should be changed to "petty peeve".
They have no overall bearing on ones life and are no more annoying than a mosquito bite.

Thieves, liars and stupid people.
I must have mellowed over the years - used to have a bunch, but they don't seem so important anymore. I still have the one that bugs me the most - canned laughter. I don't need prompting to laugh at something that's no even cute. Oh, one more - sick and tired of the non-stop media coverage of that golddigger and Harry . She's hired an agent to saturate the news trying to make her look like someone important. She'd be a failure even on a street corner.
I try to accept people as they are. All their quirks, style and ways. I know that I'm gonna find litter when I'm out hiking, biking, or camping and try to not let that bother me. People are gonna be selfish and rude and I try to not let that bother me.
One thing that does irk me is when I'm at the gym and there's dumbells, weight plates, water bottles and other things laying around. I find it really irksome to havta pick up after people just to get the equipment and room for a good workout. Didn't their mommy's teach them to pick up their toys when they're done playing with them?
With all that being said, my wife and I recently joined a gym that makes sure that things are organized and clean and I like it.

When you let your little problems upset you just remember there are millions of people on the planet that would love to trade you their problems for yours.
