(but are really not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things)
So are there certain things that people do that annoy the crap out of you, and cause you to see red, but when you think about it are not really that big a deal?
My list would be only two things : 1. Not resetting the time on the microwave to default when you have removed your food/drink after only 1m29secs, but set the timer for 2m. Why people, it's the push of one button!
2. Not replacing the toilet paper onto the holder in the office facilities. Not only this, but reaching back behind the toilet, using the roll and then putting it back on the back of the loo. Why?? Why, why, why? Why can you not just put it on the holder?
So what little things annoy you?

I am incredibly OCD about my work station. I dont care if people need sticky tabs or pens or whatever, but if you return it....PUT IT BACK WHERE IT WAS.
I also hate it when people decorate my desk with confetti and balloons. it just squicks me and makes me clean my desk before I can work.
Also, poor trigger discipline. It angers me.
OH YEAH! Opposing Loose Props in Rugby that don't know how to Scrum properly and cause it to collapse. I like my neck and your lack of technique puts it at risk.

Putting things in the dishwasher in the wrong order. I would explain what this 'right' order is, but it's too complicated AND CLEARLY NO ONE ELSE IN THE HOUSE UNDERSTANDS IT *RAAAAGE*
Also, it annoys me when food touches on a plate, and when waiters or waitresses pour you drinks in a restaurant.

Being interrupted. It seems to happen to me a lot. And I hate it. I also don't like being ignored when I talk. That happens a lot as well. Grawr.
Also, reality shows.

I get a lot of crap from people about being too quiet, but when I try to say something those very same people actually cut me off to ramble on about something else. Why tell me I need to participate in conversations and then make it impossible to get a word in edgewise? I also don't like fruit pulp or pieces in juice, ice cream, yogurt or milkshakes. I can't stand raisins in baked goods either. And while I don't have a problem with salad, I don't like lettuce and tomatoes on burgers. I just find it unpleasant and distracting.

I hate it when people tell me I need to smile more, especially when that person is a complete stranger. It's one thing if a friend wants to see me smile, I can understand that. But a stranger who tells me to smile? Fuck off. You don't know shit about me, and for all you know I could be going through something awful.
Even worse is when people say I ought to smile because it's a beautiful day out. My definition of a beautiful day is overcast and in the 50s, because I hate the sun and temperatures above 65°.

A guy I used to play with actually broke his neck in that situation. By an incredible stroke of luck, he didn't die - the ambulance immobilised his head before he could move it enough to kill him. Players who deliberately collapse the scrum (e.g. to timewaste near the end of the game) deserve to be taken away and filled in. Other things... ignorant people, 'gangsta' wankers, the British weather... oh, and people who steal stationery, especially off the chart table. I need it to do my job! Get your own, you pikey bastard.

-People who don't use turn signals.
-People who drive while talking on cell phones.
-People who walk around with Bluetooths (-teeth?), then get p***ed when you think they're talking to you.
-Smokers.
-Cats.
-Ebonics.
I'm sure I can think of more, but that's it for now.

I would explain what this 'right' order is, but it's too complicated AND CLEARLY NO ONE ELSE IN THE HOUSE UNDERSTANDS IT *RAAAAGE* Ditto, but I don't care about the food touching thing. Unless it's the entree touching the dessert. That is just uncalled for. I hate hate HATE when people barge into my room or use my laptop. Especially the latter. There are other computers in the house. In fact, there are currently as many computers in the house as there are people living in the house. My laptop was purchased as a gift for me. USE YOUR OWN DAMN COMPUTER!! I also can't stand when people get into my personal space uninvited. Mom, you really don't have to hover over my shoulder like that. No, really, Mom, it's OK, in fact, I can focus better when you aren't right the fuck behind me. Stop it!

Get your own, you pikey bastard. See, it's sad. Most props are just big out of shape guys and that's the only position they can play. I take pride in my performance. I go to the gym, I run outside of practice so I don't get gassed at 54 minutes into the match. What do I get? Some lumbering oafish fuck who just falls forward instead of engaging the scrum properly. SUB OUT! -hates-

Also, it annoys me when food touches on a plate, and when waiters or waitresses pour you drinks in a restaurant. OK, I've known other people with the food thing, so I understand that. But the drinks? Um, how else would you get a drink in a restaurant? Do you want to go back to the server's station and pour it yourself?

I hate it when I get phone calls while I'm trying to practice my instruments. I have to remember to put my phone on silent or one of these days I'm gonna throw it against the wall. Also, raspberry seeds.

People who don't use coasters. I just had to pay twelve dollars damage on my dorm room because my roommate never used them and got rings on my desk. Not a lot of money, but that buys a lot of iPod apps.
People who won't shut up about how writing on paper is a lost art, particularly this one asshole in the GSA I run who never fails to rip on me for using my laptop for meeting notes. Hey, fuck you. You want to put hours of your life into doing this? It's my organization method, fuck you. Are your paper notes backed up on your hard drive, flash drive, external drive and online? No? Then shut the fuck up. Ludites suck.
People who use the "words" irregardless and guesstimate. And use brand names as verbs, ie "to Tazer", "to Band-Aid", "To Jacuzzi". They're product names and you sound like an idiot. Mind you, I am extremely fond of the word "staycation".
When people reach across the table and inadvertently touches their hand or sleeve in your food.
When people mass-mail printed thank you cars with not so much as a signature. Emily Post tells you to handwrite them, it doesn't take that much time and you feel less stupid for blowing fifty bucks on a towel set for a third cousin you barely know.
Students who wear pajama pants to class at noon. It's annoying at any time, but after twelve there's no excuse.
