Oh, I remembered another one.

At work, when someone leaves you several messages/voice mails, desperate for someone to please call them back. And when you do, they're like, "Umm, can you hold on for a minute?" Or they say they're busy and want to call you back.

If you are too busy to talk on the phone, then don't answer it!! Let it go to voice mail and call back when you have time.

literal people - i don't know why that bugs me so much

Can't help it. My knuckles are rusty rubbish due to many years of ballet.

Not doing it on purpose, they crack even when I bend knees.

I can easily crack most my body, back, knees, ankles, toes, knuckels, neck
it feels good!

People who interrupt during converstation. This is my ultimate pet peeve.

then

People who come up to your desk and stand there, waiting (and eavesdropping) or try to talk to you while you're on a business call. I find that very rude.

People who stand in front of the bus or subway doors. Move out of the way so people can get on and off!

Bad table manners (chewing with mouth open, talking with mouth full, scraping teeth on fork, etc.)

Strangers trying to chat me up at work.

When I'm waiting at the bus stop (or subway) and some one asks me if I've been waiting long. What difference does it make, the bus/train will come when it comes, regardless of how long I've been waiting. I also hate when they ask me if I know does such-and-such bus stop wherever? If I decide not to pretend that I'm deaf or don't speak English, I give them the evil eye and say, "Do I look like I work for the MTA?"

Which leads to my last pet peeve:

Lazy ass people who would rather ask you a question than read the sign in front of them with the answer. (e.g. where's the bathroom? what stop is this? does this bus go to the west side) Reading is fundamental!
