People who are just ahead of entering a store. They know your right behind them but won`t hold the door a tad till you get there.  I don`t mean 50 feet away but right behind them. 
   There have been times when exciting my favorite gas station, "that person" has been right behind me......... Ya, you`ve got the picture.   :)

1) Why in the H E double toothpicks can't everybody in Minnesota have a birthday between December first and March 31st? So many have them in the spring and summer that all those parties interfere with fishing. We've got five months of winter, and it should be used for stuff like birthdays and anniversaries.
 
2) How can somebody stand in line at the checkout counter of a grocery store for several minutes, then finally start writing out the check, get their wallet, or whatever only after the groceries are rung up. For heaven's sake, just get that stuff ready ahead of time.
 
3) And now one that's not really a pet peeve, it's a real problem: People who text and drive or talk on the cell phone and drive in an oblivious state. They are paying no attention to driving and act in truly dangerous ways. A lot of people can be on the phone and drive mindfully, but plenty can't or don't, and it's a real hazard to the rest of us.

My reply to your first peeve- What do you think is going on during those cold winter months to cause all the birthdays in the spring and summer ? ;D  But I feel you pain. My son is getting married right in the middle of the rut season. He knows better, it's his wife. She just doesn't understand what's important. ;D

The wife taking three to four hours to get her make-up on.  How about "Don't got no", or "sammich".  House cats running free.  The idea, "Guns cause crime or kill people". 

National parks, and Wilderness Areas,  (We have too many of them, maybe not in your area, but here in Alaska we have far too many).

Traffic circles, people that stop in the circle to let someone in.  Or people stopping before entering a traffic circle when no one is in the circle.

Yield signs, people that think a yield sign means "STOP".

Acceleration Lanes, people that stop in the acceleration lane waiting for a BIG opening, instead of speeding up and merging into the flow of traffic.

Women, talking on a cell, driving 55mph in the left lane, while keeping pace with another vehicle in the right lane for miles, in a 65 mph zone.  (Never seen a man do this).

Gun Store Clerk, advising a inexperienced woman to buy the latest greatest most complex, automatic handgun for home or self protection.
Where is old Joe when we really need him?  Alaska Independence    Calling Illegal Immigrants "Undocumented Aliens" is like calling Drug Dealers "Unlicensed Pharmacists"
What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

I'll get in on this. Some have already been mentioned. Let's see:
Rude people..........Driving slow in the fast lane.......People that wait for you to get right to them then pull out and drive slow.......Healthy people that park in handicapped parking spaces........People that shove a shopping cart in the next parking spot because they're too lazy to put it in the proper place.......certain people that wear their pants below their butt and leave their loud rap crap on when they get out at a filling station............seeing where someone has emptied their car ashtray on the pavement of a filling station when they're five feet from a trash can.
