Amen to screaming children- went out on a trip to a couple of National Trust gardens a few days ago and everywhere the peace and quiet was punctuated with those high pitched screams and kids demanding ice cream/sweets/drinks.
Also paying over the odds for the basics of human life- I don't live a life of luxury, and really cannot afford to pay lots of money every few months to do nothing more than make sure that utility companies make bigger profits than last year.
And people who don't use their indicators at junctions... I thought it was compulsory but the number of times I've waited at junctions or roundabouts for people who don't indicate leads me to believe that indicators are merely put on cars for decoration.
(I feel so much better for that- thanks for starting this thread Karen!)
in no particular order:
people driving too close behind for miles of straight road then overtaking on a hill/bend/junction,
people talking on mobiles whilst driving (i just know that if i did it the first car i'd see would be the old bill),
shop assistants that do not acknowledge your existance and yap away to their collegue whilst "serving" you,
Insurance companies,
teenagers walking around with their arse hanging out of their trousers,
teenagers (or any one else really) spitting in the street,
teenagers asking me to buy them drink or cigs outside the shop,
people knocking on my door selling stuff/wanting a direct debit for charity etc,
being told that because i'm a big chap my "b.m.i" is too high and i should stop eating and smoking and drinking beer-my response... SOD OFF!,
carbon footprints... what a load of crap!,
cables or rope getting snagged on the slightest thing! if i was falling off a cliff and grabbed hold of an electric cable would it snag on something and save my life? No i'd plummet to my death!
Christ i could go on and on and on, my missus thinks i am the ultimate grumpy sod, i like to think i am just passionate about my opinions! :-)
lol john! brilliant :-D

Things i hate:
When women drivers ask you to move your van so they can fit through even though a few minutes earlier a bus easily fit through the same gap!
People not using their indicators at roundabouts.
Lazy fat people who use mobility scooters when they should really be getting exercise.
Postmen/women who drop their red elastic bands on your driveway.
People who lock their small wooden gates thinking it will keep burglars out when all it is really doing is forcing me to lift my heavy mower over making me risk a back injury.
People who forget to leave the money out for the weekly grass cut then get shocked when they realise how much they owe you after a few months.
Kids that think their cool because they have 477 friends on facebook, even though they only know 6 of them in real life.
I'll think of some more.
I'll have a bottle of whatever Brigitt is having....................

Ages I spend trying to work out what will and what won't go in the recycle bin
Any thing called Briggs or Stratton ???
Garden volunteers who chuck the tools back in the shed without cleaning them
Online lists :-)
At sixty I am old and definately grumpy.
One of my many pet hates is people using horns when they should use their brakes instead, my remedy would be to wire the horn to the braking system, so when they use the horn the brakes are applied, if the horn is used when stationary the brakes would be applied and not released for thirty seconds, giving the driver the time they need to calm down.
Other pet hates include cold calls, usually when I am talking to a customer, I usually ask them if they are aware of the telephone preferance service which shuts the majority of them up quickly. Voice recognition software, interactive telephone systems, foreign call centres, inane music while on hold and top pet grumpy hate background music everywhere, I hate it, have been known to walk out of shops with it in and change supermarkets because of it.
