A website if I often use never remembers my login
The cleaners at work always move around stuff on my desk

This is my wife with every single article of clothing, every single time I wash them. The woman is pathological.

Calling customer service and having to maneuver your way through a machine that doesnt stop yapping. Worse when they auto hang up
When I go to dry my hands with a towel and it feels damp or wet. Makes me irrationally angry.
When my sister tightens the water tap too tight after using it. She's tiny and there's just no excuse for it. It doesn't need to be that tight.

Using "and I" when it isn't appropriate. "Give those apples to him and I."
I've found the best way to get them is to vacuum them up. I have a handheld Dyson, and the blade head attachment is perfect for flies.
People who drop their litter on the street. Why can't they just hold onto it until they get to a bin?
I've even seen people who just throw it on the ground when they're right next to a bin. Why?

I use the standard Mail application on OS X on my MacBook and I can be sitting in front of that stupid computer for five hours straight and not a single email will come in, but as soon as I get up to do something else it's a stream of DING DING DING DING in quick succession as a flurry of emails come in. Drives me nuts, I swear the computer is messing with me.

some of my worst experiences were dealing with roommates and dishes
That's terrible because now you know they are behind you, if it's a one-lane road you know they are revved up and ready to not only jeopardize their own life but the lives of those other drivers just to get ahead by one vehicle by passing, and if it's two or more lanes you probably are gonna get the finger on the pass. Don't drive angry.
My take on the OP: Men that take a wiz with the seat down. Like is this a challenge, you want to see if you can laserbeam it into the bowl, or do you think it's MORE hygienic because YOU didn't have to touch the edge of the seat to lift it? Savages, I swear.
Edit: nando, this thread is amazing, great idea! I feel 99% of these in my soul.
this and general rudeness. Being generally loud and talking over the TV as I'm watching it. I can't wait to move out.
I also get annoyed at people using their phone will watching TV.
Doing dishes and having that one or two drops of water fall right on the top of your foot. Like, of all the places for water to drop, it's right on my foot? It's the wooooorst.
Especially when the cart corral is RIGHT FUCKING THERE!
They're never more than 20 feet away and people can't be bothered to walk them over.

Eh, how about not calling the 7th God of War game the same name as the 1st. It could've easily been called God of War Ragnarok, and then actual God of War Ragnarok something else.
People who race to overtake me just before a 4 lane road turns back to 2, then slow down to a slower speed than the speed I was going when they overtook me. FUCK OFF!
I call them "maniac flies" because it makes no sense how or why they get in. Or even what they want. They just do. Once I moved in to my current place, first thing I did was make sure all my windows and doors were properly insulated as to not allow those fuckers in.
It went well... For awhile. Then ONE got in as I opened my front door one day. Fucker must've laid eggs because then, a few days later, his fucking family moved in with my ass.
I set all kinds of traps -- sticky, vinegar, sweet -- and they ignore them all. BUT đź‘ŹAS đź‘ŹSOON đź‘ŹAS đź‘ŹI đź‘ŹTRY đź‘ŹTO đź‘ŹEAT. You best believe they are all up in your mouth , talkin bout some "yo! lemme get a bite, fam!"
They will land on your food no lie! But only when you are eating it!
I've been very careful not to let anymore in since and it is getting colder out so not too many bugs to deal with. :')
Long winded customer service people who speak slowly and use long sentences to give you instructions. This usually happens when all you have to do is complete a really simple process like entering your info on a website.
It's like, I needed to know what to do, not how to do it. I can anticipate exactly what you're going to say based on your first three words, but now I've gotta listen to you meander through your 30-word sentence just to be polite.
I take pains not to sound impatient with people who are helping me as part of their job, but inside my head, I'm losing it. When it comes to mundane tasks, I think fast and try to be as efficient as possible. It can be so painful to deal with people who are stuck in a lower gear.
I just want to get past the dull stuff quickly and move on with my day!

Pople who say "nice to meet you" as a greeting. How will they know it's nice meeting someone thwy don't even know?
The tire pressure monitor on my Honda. OK, OK, a few tires are precisely 2 ps low. Why do you have to keep alerting me and not auto locking the doors?
This seems overly literal. It's just a social nicety to kick things off in a congenial way.
When you're crossing the street in an intersection, the pedestrian cross symbol flashes up, and cars will whip around the right turn before you have a chance to cross.
They know they shouldn't do it, they give you a wave of the hand and do it anyway. It's infuriating

Maybe...but i'll do fine with a "hello" and then "nice to meet you" at the end. It it was nice.
Yeah it gets me when people regularly use malapropisms like:
addicting vs addictive
exasperate vs exacerbate
well spoken vs well said/stated
disingenuine vs disingenuous
Sorry to be a dickhead but these people sound dumb. It's best to stick with words you know.
