[Poke] What gets on your wick?

Following the fallout from [livejournal.com profile] gothgrr's rather interesting post, the fatuous part of my brain started wondering ... what gets people riled? What really gets your goat? Trivial or world-shattering, I don't care!

For me, one thing is definitely people who appear constitutionally unable to return CDs to the correct case, instead putting them in the case of the CD that they have just put on. After about a week, this can result in a fairly intensive search - and is even more annoying when you realise that you have taken six empty cases and an assortment of sound-effects CDs on holiday ...

Oh gods, if we're getting into car-related aggravations:

People who don't put their kids in carseats/seatbelts.
People who don't restrain unruly dogs in the car.
People who leave dogs locked in cars on hot days.
Drivers who, in a line of traffic, pull onto a pelican crossing just to be a couple of poxy feet further ahead, even when there are people waiting to cross.
Drivers who don't indicate.
Drivers who rev their engines loudly at crossings.
Cyclists who ride on the pavement even when there's a proper cycle lane.
People who use mobile phones while driving.
People who eat while driving.
Those educationally sub-normal teenage girls who stand at the front of buses talking to the driver.
People who shout abuse from cars.
People who install massive stereos, chrome bumpers, fins and hubcaps in crappy little mini-metro type cars and don't realise they look like tossers.

considerably so. In fact, people who smoke out of car windows and flick their ash into the face of the filtering motorcyclist. You know this is actually illegal?
