People that dont signal at roundabouts.
People who change direction without looking or signalling. Avoided a potentially fatal accident the other day when a woman
rolleyes decided to pull out when I was doing 30mph. Luckily there was no oncoming traffic and I'd routinely checked my mirrors just seconds before, so I yanked the steering to the right and managed to miss her by millimetres. If there was oncoming traffic it would have been fatal.
Women who have their chins right on top of the steering wheel. God forbid the air bag deploys.

All supermarket related!
Old biddies who go to the supermarket on Saturdays and Sundays - you've got all sodding week to go, why do you need to be there, wandering sooooo slowly around, on my two days off?!
Then stand at the checkout, find out how much it'll cost, then decide to get their purse out and start fumbling through it with their arthritic fingers... Grr, I'm getting mad just thinking about it!
Also people who don't know how to do it, going through the self-scan checkout (suggested basket size: 10-20 items) with about 50 things, including stuff that will need authorising, stuff that you need to weigh (such as carrots where you have to find it on the screen before you weigh it), wanting to put coupons in... Self scan is supposed to make it quicker for us all!
And I used to work in a shop when I was a student, I used to hate those people who come to your till and say, "I bought this yesterday, it says on the shelf £1.95 and I was charged £1.99..." - I just wanted to say to them, "REALLY? You've come back down here, paid £1.80 for an hour's parking, just to get your 4p back??"

People buying a couple of days shopping, at the petrol station, at 8.20am on weekdays.

1) Inconsiderate cyclists.
2) Inconsiderate motorists.
3) People who don't understand what the word 'literally' means.
4) Work signatures which read, "With very kind regards". Not just 'kind' but 'very kind'. I don't know why this annoys me but it does

* Motorists who forget that cyclists use the road by right, not licence, and don't give us the space and respect needed as we are far more vulnerable.
I have to say thought that as a cyclist other cyclists jumping red lights annoys me...
I work in a shop, many things the customers do irritate me:
- Rushing into the shop at 1 minute before closing time
- Not getting money ready whilst in the queue, instead opting to make everyone wait while they fumble around in their purse for 5 minutes
- After serving almost any woman, she will stand there sorting her entire life out at the counter (fiddling with cards, purses, handbags, gloves, receipts, etc) instead of moving on to give the next customer some room
- 1/5 customers have severe halitosis, the rest either stink of wee or sweat, or have so much perfume and deodrant on that it makes my eyes water
- Complaining that [product] has gone up in price since last week, and looking at me as if I'm the one who changed the price personally just to spite them
- Talking on a mobile phone while I'm serving them
- Having the customer's mobile phone go off while I'm serving them, and it's some crappy dance tune that's going to get stuck in my head, and they just pretend it isn't their phone going off so the crap tune keeps on going
- Parents who come into the shop who have named their child something stupid, like Sunray, and will use any excuse to say their child's name in the store, such as shouting at the child to behave when the child wasn't even doing anything..
- Customers who come in on a Sunday to get change for car parks, kid's lunch money, bus, etc. Pay for a pack of chewing gum with a £20 note, and act all sheepish as if I care. Or they'll say "sorry, that's all I've got" instead of just saying they need change
- Coming in multiple times a day to buy 10 cigarettes, instead of just buying 20 or 40 to begin with
- Kids trying to buy alcohol, looking blatant as hell, then getting angry when I ask for ID
- Adults who look youngish getting angry when asked for ID. PROTIP: If you're in your 20s, or just look unusually young for your age, bring ID with you, it's not our fault, its the government's
Service with a smile.
(But I'm dying inside)

Work signatures in general on Emails, it is just lazy and its obvious from a mile off that it is a generic response.
People who get annoyed when they're not thanked for holding the door open. It's not like you can say "No thanks" and let them shut the door, then open it yourself again. They're forcing you to go through the door, then expect you to say thanks! **** off

I once did have a woman who stopped in her tracks and told me to let go of the door because she could open it herself.
