I am annoyed at salad bars because when I have to pay by the weight, I skip out on some good food. Eggs are super cheap in general, but a hard boiled egg is heavy and I feel like I am getting screwed. So I end up with mostly lettuce and it's still expensive and I am cranky.
My neighbors took all of their crap/trash out of their garage two weeks ago and piled it in their backyard and it is still there. They also cut-down some gorgeous lilac bushes that provided privacy between our two yards. Oh, and they appear to be building a chicken coop in their garage. They have kept/fought roosters in the past, so I am really hoping it is for chickens and not roosters.
See, I'm just the opposite, I pile my plate with eggs and whatever else at the salad bar, and then I get all pissed off when they weigh it and it ends up costing me a load of money for a salad that would essentially cost me $2-$3 to make at home.
I'm still annoyed that my bagel guy is gone. 8 years in our deli now he is gone. I have to order my bagel now. And the new person always asks questions (toasted? sliced?). Dude. Same thing. Every day. For 8 years.
This annoyance will be topped if they change the price and it stops coming to exactly $2. If I have to start carrying a dime with me, I may have to find a new breakfast.
Some neighbors behind our house are potty training their puppy. Every time I go outside, I hear "Time to go potty! Time to go potty! Time to go potty!" OVER AND OVER. She must be outside with the dog 50+ times a day shrieking at it to go potty.
I love dogs but the lady's voice is making me crazy.

Our neighbor's lies. She claims that she needs to park in front of our house (making it difficult for us to get out) because she fell through two flights of stairs, is limping around, needs her husband to carry her up the stairs, and parking there gives her easier access to the house.
However, when she doesn't think anyone is home, she is walking perfectly fine, carrying groceries, walking the dogs, parking in the driveway, etc. She even put a 3 page note in our mailbox trying to justify everything. I cannot wait for their house to actually sell and them be out of here.
Our dept. secretary's perfume is WICKED STRONG today. Usually it's not that overpowering, and I wear a light perfume too sometimes, but WOW. It enters the room before she does and leaves 5 minutes later. +o(
The fact that my husband feels the need to be touching me whenever we are within eye sight of each other. I can't remember the last time I sat on the couch without him trying to cuddle up to me. I need space.

When you go to the dr and ask a question and they give you a response with the assumption that you are an idiot. Example: "dr, I have not yet seen the return of my fertility. I now bf 2 x a day. Do you think it's likely that I'll have to wean before it comes back?" response: "are you ttc? How old are you? The guideline is that it can take a year for an otherwise healthy couple to conceive. Have you even gotten your period back? No? Well that's the issue."

Christ. I agree with this. The past two weeks he's grabbing or cuddling or touching every time I turn around. He's been off work and I get he's board and I love him dearly but hands off for ten damn minutes.
There is one house in our neighborhood that ALWAYS has a car parked blocking the sidewalk. They have a 2 car garage. The drive is long enough they could leave the sidewalk clear and still have room to back out of the garage. Plus they have the whole street to park on. Yet they ALWAYS COMPLETELY block the sidewalk. It's not even a little bit. It's the whole sidewalk.
I really want to call the police. We have at least two disabled neighbors and a ton of young families that use the sidewalk.

A LOT of stuff annoys me but some of the irrational ones:
Being asked to show my ID when using my credit card, especially if the purchase is a small amount. If I stole this cc, I would not be using it to buy something for $2 at Walgreen's
When I use my cc and don't get a receipt (I think of this mainly happening at fast food places) or worse, when I ask for one and they say "oh it's at the next window" but it's not
People driving diagonally across parking lots when there is traffic/parked cars
I'm also annoyed with DH x 10. He wants to drop about 15 lbs. so he's changed up his eating habits and he's mixing up some of his workouts. He's also become a complete fucking whiner. Today he told me that he was starving. STARVING. Not only is he starving, he said it like he had been hiking through a desert all morning without food and water. (He had quite a filling and big lunch packed, so I know he's not starving, I think he's craving carb-y type stuff.)
I'm still annoyed at my neighbor. They are still painting their house baby shit yellow and hunter green.

When people put bananas in a plastic bag at the grocery store. They come in their own protective packages! And every single one has a sticker with the code on it, the checkout person will know what to put in the register!

Stupid people who want to take away women's human rights and self determination. People who believe feminism is somehow antimale. My coworkers who stand around chatting like there is nothing to do while I struggle to focus and work through their chatter. The lack of bras larger than a D cup in the US in general. There's more but I'll stop for now.
Clients/ members of the public who call me, leave a voicemail if I'm unavailable, emails, and then walk in "hoping to catch me."
I'm clearly unavailable asshole! I'll get back to you as soon as I can; until then, every additional time you contact me I'm going to ignore your call for 1 more day just to be spiteful.
i'm annoyed because I fell on the concrete at the Washington Nationals stadium yesterday when we first got there, then had to sit there with a scraped/bruised/swollen knee in a rain delay for 2 1/2 hours. (My BIL got an ice pack from first aid for me so that helped a little)
Now today my entire body hurts and I have 2 payrolls to process today so I couldn't take the day off. My ass and leg hurt and it's very uncomfortable sitting here in this horrible desk chair all day.
That MH didn't believe me when I told him a year ago that I feel like it will be impossible to find a decent house in our price range. We have, but they are sold in a minute. Now he agrees that perhaps I was right and not just being over dramatic.
Having to show my goddamn receipt as I exit Sam's Club. I walked ten steps from register to door .... Do you REALLY think I am stealing something? Do I look like I have an LCD TV tucked in my purse?!
They never read the receipt, anyway. Just jab at it with a highlighter. GRUH.
People who throw cigarette butts out their car windows. Stop littering! I saw it 3 times on my way to work this morning.
The clique of ladies in my neighborhood who haven't talked to me in at least a year (I was told I don't fit in with their group of mostly SAHMs since I'm kidless and have a job). All of a sudden they're emailing me since the for sale sign went up at our house. They just want gossip. There's no scandal or anything, just a job relocation. I'm still ignoring their emails because I'm annoyed.
