Wow peeves: When someone from randoms starts talking smack about someone in front of them or in whispers to other players in the group because that player's gearscore is low, before they've even seen the person play...in fact anyone who throws gearscore in someone's face or who tries to tell other players how to play!
Taking time to type insulting phrases such as "idiot" in instructions while in the middle of a boss fight.
RL peeves: spending at least two hours straightening my work, only to have a group of inconsiderate people come in thirty minutes before closing and go through the ENTIRE store picking up stuff and moving it out of place, only for them to buy less then 20 dollars worth of merchandise after causing a whirlwind of destruction in fifteen minutes that will take me another two hours to fix. *grrrr...crunch! Omm-nom-nom*

Argh, that's a horrible one. >< I used to work in a clothing store, and it always shocks me how people have to take like 5 shirts apart to look at them, and just walk away with them strewn everywhere. Whenever I go shopping I always fold the things back up like how they were before.
Oh, and don't even get me started on change rooms. >_> It's like someone just grabs a pile of 50 things, bunches them into a ball, and crams them in a corner with various hangers sticking out everywhere. -.-

I really hate that new Wendys banner ad. If I let it stay on my browser for more then 5 minutes it completely crashes my computer.
Also, refreshing banner ads so if I leave my browser open during a raid, that ad comes up and crashes me during my raid.
AND every-time one of their commercials come up I get this urg to kick the announcer in the crotch.
SERIOUSLY they are horrible! Wendys has about no sanitation code and is actually one of the worst places you can eat!
(knows several people who've worked there)

Oh, I thought of another one.
People not knowing the difference between there, their, and they're. And to and too. A lot of people spell "weird" "wierd" and that gets to me, too. >_< I guess I'm sort of a spelling nazi; it just glares at me in the face, I dunno.

I fell down some icy stairs. The same ones. For the THIRD time!
They're my only way of getting to my house from the parking lot, and they are absolutely lethal.

Snow. I don't like Winter to begin with, but this is getting ridiculous. Finland is in chaos (which is pretty impressive, considering we're used to having a lot of snow), and Siliner can't get here to visit me because of frozen railways and malfunctioning trains. :(

WoW pet peeve: When I wait for a dungeon for 30 minutes, finally get an invite, and then people start leaving as soon as they get in there. There's dungeons I don't like, but if I feel that strongly, I don't go in. Argh.
Real life pet peeves: Commercials that harp on gender stereotypes. Women are obssessed with cleaning and weight loss! Guys are domestic morons who need to be cared for by others. Happily obvedient women, of course. You can make women happy with yogurt, roses, and diamonds. It makes me twitchy.
Let's see... Being sick all the time. I'm tired of being nauseated every few days, and if I'm lucky, throwing up.
Finally, having traits about me being used as slurs. Gay, Jew- I would say it makes me sick but that's already taken care of. /wry grin
Oh because I can't resist: How ugly modern cars are. That is all.

This. So hard. Also, people who don't bother to use proper spelling, capitalization, and punctuation (at all!) to make themselves coherent. *glares at Facebook friends*
And the cold. I live in Florida, for goodness' sake! It shouldn't be dipping into the 30s, 40s, and 50s! I'm a creature of the sun, I can't handle this!
Oh yeah, and the fact that my tablet is choosy about if it wants to use pen pressure or not, depending on how it's feeling every time the computer's turned on. Grrr.

Oh I have some RL ones.... 
Having people call my store (a BlockBuster) or walk in randomly and ask when we will be closing so they can buy movies when there is a going out of business sale. I don't call your work asking when you will be fired so I can put in an application for your job, stop asking when my will close! Jack @sses.... >:C
People that try to "negotiate" deals on the prices of stuff or not paying for late films or games when they get to the counter, "Hey, how about I get one more movie and you give me a discount on something else" or "Well I know I've had this movie out for a while (*cough* sold off to them months ago) but could you just refund it this one time, this has never happened before" look at their account history and they never return anything on time and there are warnings about giving them credits all over the place. When I tell them that I can not do that because the system physically wont allow it (<= true) they tell me if I don't they will call customer service and tell them that I called them a fat cow or something offensive.
People that try to walk behind the counter at a business then when you ask them politely to not do that and offer to check and see what four things haven't been put out yet they brush you off or get defensive "Well it's not like there are signs saying I can't walk there!" No, no their are not, but we expect that at one point or another you pulled that stunt as a child and you parental guardian popped you one good on the back of the head and you learned better. We have a regular that does this every once in a while and and it's gotten to the point that if he does it we just ask him to leave.... What makes this worse is the fact that I have a "thing" about this and will even have mild panic attacks sometimes, it's amazing what will bother you after your store is robbed.
Wall of text below, please avoid if allergic.
People that show up late to do a job and then get antsy when they have to wait. My store was supposed to have a locksmith come and replace the locks on all the doors that exit the building (mildly important), the gentleman in question was supposed to be there Monday morning, he did not show up until late Wednesday night when he promptly broke the lock on the front door and told us that he would have to get a part to fix it, he then called Thursday morning (someone had to open two hours early to accommodate the time he said he would be there) to let the opening manager know that he had the part but wouldn't be in till after a doctors appointment but he shouldn't be there past noon, no phone calls and eleven hours later and he waltzes in having a personal call on his cell and stands at the counter so we are now down to one register to check customers out on. After about ten minuets he turns and informs my borrowed employee that he is here to change the locks and starts joking around with him and asking questions on where paperwork is, he is told that I am the manager on duty. He then starts to gruff at me about how he needs this or that and persists in calling me "missy", I look for the paper work and have to ask him no less than four times to not come into the back room, when I find it he irritatedly asks where the new keys are (I have no clue where any of this is as yesterday was my day off this week) he spends the rest of the time asking if I can call one of the real managers because the men should know where it is, they are not picking up their phones.
Turns out everything is in the safe which is on a timer so he huffs and puffs about how long that's taking and asks every minuet or so how much longer it's going to be. When the safe opens and I get the keys and paper work he grumps some more about how long it took and replaces the lock with the new one. He then walks over and tries to happily explain to the other guy on shift what keys are what and even cracks a joke or two, the CSR then tells him again that I am the manager on duty and that this isn't even his store. He than demands that I sign the paper work so he can leave to get to an important get together that he is now late to, a cookout and poker party he was talking on the phone about earlier. Now I am a patient girl, but at this point I have about had it. I let him know that there will be no burgers or beer for him until he tells me exactly which keys do what and I find the store stamp (this has to be used on all work orders), and that if we had to wait as long on him as we did he can darn well wait five more minuets to finish his job. That snapped him out of it and he was nice and polite until he left about five minuets later.

Oh I needed that.... Dance time! <('.'<) (^'.'^) (>'.')>

WoW peeve!
People who insist they are right on something that they aren't. Someone saying hunters don't need intellect. I'm saying it is a good stat for them, but not the best stat overall of course. They went into rant mode, going on saying that they have NO gear with intel and they have some hunter with X gearscore doing ICC etc. etc.
