What Are Your Pet Peeves?

I'm starting to think I have enough pet peeves to start my own pet store. Ha. Ha. Anyway, I'm wondering if I have more than the next person. So, I'll share some of mine, if you'll share some of yours! Here it goes:My Pet Peeves (a.k.a) things that annoy the hell out of me!
(not in a particular order)
1) When People Don't Wash Their Hands After Using the Toilet
2) When complete strangers (frankly, anyone really!) touches my infant's hands. Those little hands go into her little mouth which then goes on me for her to eat. (This pet peeve made worse by pet peeve #1) Think about it for a sec and you see why it's gross!
3)When people throw their cigarette butts out of their car window.
4) When people drive BELOW the speed limit (or even at the speed limit for that matter!)
5) When people pass me on the right in the breakdown lane. (As you can gather from pet peeve #4, I'm not going that slowly!)
6)When guests I invite to my house for dinner show up early. Ugh! Don't they know I need every minute to get my act together.
7) When people are rude. Period.
8) When people interrupt me mid-sentence. Totally gives away the fact that they really don't care what I have to say! Goes with #7.
9) When people don't say please and thank you. Goes with #7.
10) When people infringe upon my personal space. For example, when the woman behind me in the grocery line is standing so close behind me I can feel her breathing on me.
11) When people come in late to my step aerobics class and plunk their step so close to mine I'm fearful I'm going to break my ankle. Goes with #10.
12) When people don't RSVP to my kids' parties.
13) When people don't replace the paper towels or toilet paper.
See what I mean! I feel like such a prima donna, but these things bug me! Am I freakishly intolerant of typical human behavior? If not, please share what bugs you!

I have a few pet peeves of my own. Some of mine include
1.) A tag sticking out of a t-shirt when someone's wearing the shirt or any shirt for that matter.
2.) When things aren't exactly symmetrical - such as figurines in my home.
3.) When people put butt into my conversation, as if I was talking to them.
4.) When people stand behind me.
5.) When my guy friends feel they HAVE to burp, and outdo each other.

Thank you! I too hate the tag thing. I've even gone so far as to tuck tags in for people I don't know. So I suspect that someone out there has a pet peeve of "When a total stranger tucks my tag in!"
