Realizing my refill request to my mail-order pharmacy was never filled because they used my maiden name. I've been married 3 years and everything on their site has been using my married name for 3 years too. Even my other refill request used my married name.
My mom made me drink tap water at her house last night because the Perrier was only for my pregnant SIL since I can "drink what everyone else is drinking [alcohol]."
I was driving home and didn't want to drink booze!
You should come to France. The government was doing a big "drink tap water" promotion here the other day and had free fountains dispensing both flat and bubbly water. The bubbly water was city water, but tasted just like Perrier.
When DH uses a Ziploc bag to pack his lunch (or put leftovers in the fridge or whatever) when he could just as easily use a reusable Gladware container. They aren't free!
Also, the sound of my dog licking himself. He likes to burrow under the covers and lick his paws. I get so mad because it's like nails on a chalkboard to me.
I get annoyed when friends make bad financial decisions, then make weird back-handed comments to me about how "it must be nice not to worry about money." Um, yes, DH and I make a decent living, but we also didn't just spend a shit-ton of money renovating a rental property no one will rent, for example.

Agree.
I also get annoyed at people who drive slowly to look at a car on the shoulder of the highway during rush hour. Its like people have never seen a non moving car.
My other irrational annoyance is when I'm sharing a box of candy with my husband and he will stick like 10 runts in his mouth at once and chew really quick, while I eat them one at a time. I feel like I need to eat faster or I won't get my share.

When my DH gets out of the shower and leaves his wet towel any damn place...the bed, the dresser, the floor, etc...how hard is it to just hang it back on the towel rack?
I am annoyed that our anniversary overnight will now be two weeks after my anniversary because hubs made the res for the wrong weekend, and the correct weekend is now booked up.
My CW and I have a term called AWNS, which stands for attention whore non sequitur. We have a boss that likes to interrupt conversations to talk about herself.
Also, asshole parents who double park when dropping off their kids at school.

Shopping. It's very frustrating trying to find clothes that fit my weird proportions. I also dislike most of the styles out right now.
The lack of selection on Netflix Instant Streaming. I loved it at first, but at this point I've pretty much exhausted all my options for shows I like and they rarely get anything new.

Today, having to be a responsible adult. Being stuck in this house and DH being depressed because we're stuck in this house.
People that don't learn from their past experiences/decisions. And that nice people waste time trying to help them/giving them sound advice that wont be considered/followed.
The asshole school who is holding the supply lists hostage. "Pickup at the school between 9-3." Hi, I work and you have a website. And we all have a postal service. Use it.
My client I working with. I can do no more for your kids. Its time to move on. They need to go to kindergarten now. Its best for everyone, especially them (and me).
My dd. She is 3 going on 16 and obnoxious. Good thing she is cute.
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.
If it were roosters I'd probably be a bitch and call the law on them. Fighting roosters is inhumane, redneck and trashy.
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.
I have called our police precinct to report this shit before. It seriously pisses me off; there's good reason blocking a sidewalk is illegal. I generally don't do it if I've never seen the car do it before and it's easy/safe enough to go around the car, but otherwise? Hell yes I'm reporting that. One person on the next block up from us does this all the time. Their driveway is empty, there's street space in front of their car, yet they insist on parking right across the sidewalk. It makes no sense.

Picture it: School Parking Lot 2 Reserved Spaces by the door, right next to each other 1 Nurse Parking 1 Handicapped Parking Today the Nurse is parked in the Handicapped Spot. Really - you are the only one with a spot assigned to you and you take the handicapped spot? To save walking 4 feet? The principal and the superintendent don't have reserved parking even. Park in your spot!!
LMAO...guys calling women 'dude' is actually one of my H's pet peeves too.
It's one of my biggest pet peeves. I'll tell anybody not to call me that. I'd tell David Beckham not to call me dude. But my boss, I can't. So I just cringe and roll my eyes. He could be worse.

One of my jobs is a retail job. I hate when people have smaller bills but expect me to be able to change a hundred 10 minutes after opening. When people think they know more about my store policies than me. I look young and customers will search out an older person to ask a question rather than ask me. I could go on and on.
Our dog (a herding breed) has STILL not adjusted to the fact that we have a baby. DS is six.months.old. Dog still circles around DS's playpen over and over and OVER, while making this "ugh ugh ugh" sound. It's driving me absolutely insane. I know this is horrible to say, but I sometimes I wish we didn't have a dog.
The HR lady who is assigned to handle my orientation. She isn't the brightest despite my very specific questions. I understand that she is new as well, but she can at least double check before giving me a response. She's given me wrong information two times now and I am losing my patience.

I have annoyed with a side of guilt. My mom, 82, and a control freak extraoridnaire, had a tracheotomy recently, and therefore cannot talk. Her ill health has exacerbated her need to control things, and it manifests itself in the following way: If she needs to contact someone on the phone (her doctor, Staples, BCBS, her oil company were among today's list), she pulls out the ubiquitous saved, empty junk mail envelopes that she uses to write stuff on because they're too good to throw away, and puts "SCRIPT" at the top, and then writes a script for me. Including questions, a little "..." which indicates where I wait for the reply, and then possible followup questions.
She also explained to me today what the permanent press setting is on the washer and dryer and where to find it (it's at one o'clock, in case you're wondering). Oh, and in case you didn't know this, if you use the permanent press setting for your laundry, you don't have to iron as much.
She also showed me where she keeps her login ids and passwords, and explained that the passwords are in all UPPERCASE so they'd be clear, but actually they're in lower case, which, thankfully, she drew a little arrow with the word "lowercase" pointing to the password. Unless she, I dunno, wrote the damn thing in the proper case, how would I ever crack the code?
When people back into parking spots. They're almost always hugging the line or crooked. And it takes longer to back into the fucking spot than it would to pull in normally & back out when you leave. GRRRRRR.
I've spent FOUR hours now running to and from the bathroom (sorry TMI) vomiting or otherwise flushing the iron out of my system. And writhing in pain.
Becca suggested Floradix and that was working well (first supplement ever!) but it costs $80/mo. I wanted to try Bifera to cut costs ($14/mo), and because it was also recommended here and is supposed to be easy on your system. Man, I feel stupid now for messing with a good thing.
I just want the pain to go away, but there is no end in sight.

I get so annoyed shopping at our local grocery store. The aisles are way too narrow and there is absolutely no logic to how it is laid out! The only plus is that it is only 5 minutes away and they double coupons.
