I hate it when you call someone and their answering machine gives you this
Calling....
Machine:
Hello? Hello? this is ... yeah, uh huh alright....
...please leave a message after the tone. When you're finished you may hang up and try again later
I spent 5 minutes talking to the blessed answering machine.
I hate it when people have prerecorded answers to conversations as their message.
So what are the pet peeves of other people on this board?

I guess the biggest pet peeve I have are people who act as if you're beneath them. Like nothing you say is ever good enough, or nothing you do is good enough.
I also hate closed-minded people as well. And, people who have the notion that if you don't think they way they think, you don't have the right to think at all.
Perhaps one of the most annoying pet peeves I have is people trying to force their beliefs onto another person, whether it be political, religious, sexual, or ethical. I'm my own free thinker, and I believe in being an individual. I don't like to be forced to change for anybody.

When people just straight up ignore me. It's like I'm invisible or something.

Omega - Mine just says, "Wait for it.... GO! ::beep::"
Cap'n - complete agreement.
I dislike people who lean too heavily on their cellphones. By that, I mean that, when you're hanging out with someone, I feel it's rude for them to walk off to take a call (exceptions go for important calls from work or family issues) and leave you standing in the middle of nowhere. People who, while you're out at a restaurant, will either answer their phone and talk loudly, or let it ring 5-6 times. Same with people who, despite the numerous reminders at the start of a film, will get calls during a movie, answer, and proceed to whisper loudly into their phones.
... Er, to sum up, I've got a lot of cellphone etiquette pet peeves.
Oh, and I also dislike when people leave their discarded drink cups (and other trash) in the aisles (or carts) at a store. That's just gross and unsanitary! >_<

We need to do what Japan does: install cell phone jammers in movie theaters.

I'd never heard of that. That would be an excellent idea imo.

YES! ONE HUNDRED TIMES YES!

Some of my pet peeves:
people that try to convert me to Christianity (I'm already a Roman Catholic, but they approach me with the assumption that I'm an evil pagan in need of being "saved")
people that try to convince me to vote Republican or try to make me feel like I'm mentally disabled for voting Democrat
people that talk in Spanish in my presence
men that greet me by saying "Howdy" (or, with a hick accent, "Hah-dy", which sounds like they're calling me a hottie) or "How's it goin'?"
senseless phrases like "the other day" (be specific!) and "same difference" (it's "same thing")
people that write "could of", "should of", "would of", or "must of" (it's "could've", "should've", "would've", and "must've")
men that ask me if I ever had sex (for the record, no)
my dad listening to polka music loudly
my mom calling me into another room to do something for her, when she could do it far more easily, if she'd bother to get off of the couch and away from the TV (get her a drink from the fridge, close the blinds when she's lying on the couch right next to them, etc.)

That used to bother me a lot when I was in high school. But, as I grew older, I realized that it was THEIR loss.
I also find ignorance just for the sake of ignoring someone to be rude and tasteless.
(Did I just say ignorance for the sake of ignoring?

Related to the "could of" thing...
People who use "there" or "their" instead of "they're"
People who use "your" instead of "you're"
People who say "haven't went" (I hear that at work a lot - "We haven't went to the movie yet")

My biggest pet peeve is when I do a good deed such as opening a door for someone and I get no remark of gratitude be it a "thank you" or a thumbs up. I am trying to show people that Generation Y isn't just full of lazy, rude people and that's what I get. Nothing!

I don't expect anything in return. I open the door just to be courteous.

So much for comic books and literacy.. lol!
My pet peeve is ... okay... I don't have one....
Every time I am in some corporate "team-building" event, you get asked "What is your pet peeve?" - I never have an answer. It's not that I'm super-mellow... hey - I can be as obsessive compulsive as the next fellow (how many posts....?).
I just don't have any specific thing that bothers me as a peeve. Maybe closed-mindedness or lack of critical-thinking skills.....
