People who back into parking spaces. If I ever run for president, my entire platform will be centered on making it a felony to back into parking spaces. I realize there could potentially be a benefit to it, but I'm sorry to the 5% that can successfully do it, but the other 95% that try to and can't are ruining it for you. No more!!!!

Punctuality. I would rather be 20 minutes early than 1 minute late. I used to tell me employees that punctuality is like being pregnant. You either are or you ain't.

People that text you and expect an instant reply. 1:30pm: blah blah blah 1:30pm: hello 1:31pm: HELLO!? 1:32pm phone rings and they first thing they say is “uh did you not get my text?” Its not just my wife that does this. Friends as well as some customers do this just as much if not more than she does.

People who tell everything on Facebook.

Share them with your HSN brethren But. don't unload them all at once. Let them out in a trickle to give those that have been shared some time to simmer. I'm going to start in the grocery store, Nothing gets to me more than when the person buying $175 worth of groceries does one of the following: Realizes they forgot an item and send the spouse, kid, bag boy, or themselves on a trek to locate the item before they pay. Pay the bill for what you have now and go back through line you cretin!!!! A few seconds after the cashier is done ringing up items, it dawns on the customer that, yes, they do have to pay, and then, and only then, do they start digging through their purse for money or a debit/credit card (I say purse because my experience is men do not do this). Ma'am, can you please tell me how many times you have been to the grocery and NOT had to pay? Can you see the benefit of advance preparation. It takes a while for that cashier to ring up $175 worth of stuff. Would it be so hard to begin planning your method of payment while that is going on?

I'm so adamant about it, one year as a joke on my birthday at previous company I worked at every employee got to work a little early and backed into their parking spot. 😡

Airline travelers who try to carry on bags that are clearly too big to be carry-ons, and then complain and hold up other boarding passengers as they try to squeeze the bags into the overhead bins..

OMG. I thought I was the only one bothered by this. I put a hex on everone that does. Also refuse to park next to someone that does this. Driver door next to driver door bothers me to an unhealthy level.

Must be relying on their backup cameras. Conversely. Not a pet peeve. But when I pull into a parking lot. Say like at Home Depot. I always pull to the other side. So that when I leave, I don't have to back out.

Got my vote.

Anything I buy that is hard to unpackage or has crap instructions for assembly.

When I allow a car to merge or something similar to that and they don’t wave/acknowledge it at all. Drives me nuts.

Unless you’re famous, no one cares haha.

Robocalls. Prior to Wednesday of last week, when the government finally announced they will be cracking down on robocalls, I would get multiple daily robocalls. Since then I have gotten only one robocall. It turned out to be legit. It was from Kroger, telling us we had bought two items from King Soopers, that were being recalled due to contamination. As it turned out, we had already consumed them.

People that park at a gas pump but yet they don't get gas.

I'll modify this one to just "Facebook". Or 99.73675% of social media in general.

People who text you and say call me.

People who allow their children to run amok in restaurants and then look at you , smiling, like "isn't that cute?" I love kids. Have 3 grown of my own, and a 9 year old grandson. And I'm not talking McDonalds or Chucky Cheeses...Everyone's all Happy Mealed up and supposed to be having a good time in those places. But when I'm in a nice, sit down restaurant, wanting some time with my wife, don't let your children run around the place like you're at home. We literally had kids hiding under our table at a nice seafood restaurant the other night...servers having to dodge them running around. And mom and dad just sat there with those dumb grins on their faces. I finally asked them to not let their children play under our table. You would have thought I was the Grinch who stole every holiday for the rest of those kids' lives.

Grocery shopping with the wife. Me: why you only getting two bars of soap and 4 rolls of toilet paper? Her: I’m saving money Me: oh ok. I thought maybe you was broke or planning on not wiping or washing your ass at some point in the very near future. Her: I’ve got coupons smartass. Plus, I hate grocery shopping. It takes too much time and cost me over $200 every time. Me: so you might save $3.00 today at a store that’s 25 miles from the house. Just so you can come back at the end of the week and do it again. Gotcha. Good thing your paying attention.

I have a relative who posts everything they do. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. It drives me crazy.
