I love movies. We watch movies alot here, especially during dust storms when we can't fly. . .
I hate it when we all sit down to watch a movie, we are all there together, and the ONE GUY who's been sitting there with us the whole time, keeps asking over and over, "Well, who's this guy?" "Why did she do that?" "Where are they going now?" Like. . .the rest of us WROTE the movie or something and have some secret information that he doesn't.
AND ANOTHER DAMN THING. . .
I hate it when we're sitting there watching a movie, and there's always the ONE dumbass that walks in, looks at the screen and has to ask, "So are there any titties in this movie? Does she get naked?" Then they sit there through the rest of the movie inserting dialogue that includes sexual innuendo, completely ruining the experience. We physically removed someone from our office the other day for doing that during "Serenity".
Are you reading my mind Static? LOL
I hate it when people talk during a movie or TV show I am trying to watch. Of course there is that special Hell that Book told us about for those that speak during movies. I think the theatre part is optional.
Though bad grammar bothers me, it is not really a pet peeve. It is a bit too trivial for me to get worked up over.
What really bugs me the most is rude people. People who are inconsiderate, pushy, or just down right unfriendly. They cut you off in traffic, shove and cut in lines, they walk up to the counter while you are making a purchase and start asking questions of the clerk like you are not even there. People who make snide comments about everything and everyone. That is the sort of thing that really gets under my skin.

my biggest peeve is when people ask what do you do for a living? then I tell them I'm making a movie and I only ever get the following two responces
most common: is it a porno? *chuckle*
everyone seems to think they're the first one to ask me that. even if they were it's just not that funny
second most common: oh so you wanna be the next Peter Jackson huh?
Now I love Pete but every one in New Zealand seems to think he's the only New Zealand director in history, and that all other directors are just trying to ride his coat tails. it's almost like having the attitude of awww isn't that cute? he wants to make a movie, here does the diwector want a wowwi pop?
grrrr

the phrase "I could care less." Shouldn't it be "I COULDN'T care less."?

Mine are:
-Being told to do something I was going to do anyway. Or worse, something that I am doing even as I'm being told. It makes me feel like Basil Fawlty. 
-Suits. As in "people who wear." See, living in Ottawa (a Government town), it means that Suits have the right to shove in front of me in line, shout their orders over mine in restaurants, and crowd me off the sidewalk into traffic. No one can persecute them, because they own this town (they have money, I don't, Money = ABSOLUTE POWER), and I should be grateful just to bask in their briefcase-toting, cell-phone-talking presence.
-Snowplows (in Winter), street sweepers (in Spring/Summer/Fall), and random construction vehicles that come down my street to drown out anything quieter than an air-raid siren at 8:30 pm and make hourly passes until well after midnight. I don't know why I need the same vehicle (yes, I've checked, same driver) going back and forth and back and forth and back and forth (while there are other streets in town that aren't plowed/cleaned at all, and I especially don't know why it absolutely MUST be done when most people are trying to sleep.

Some of my pet peeves:
1)Pants that don't fit right. I think it's highly important to to know what cut of pants fits you well and acentuates in all the right places... not something that is too tight or so loose you look like you could fit at least two of you in them. You would be AMAZED at how much more confidence one can gain in the simple act of having pants that don't dig in the crotch or bum, nor are so big you have to walk like you just got off a horse because your inner thigh has been chaffed!
2)Disorganized clutter! I DRIVE MYSELF CRAZY WITH THIS!! I just can't think straight until I get things into some sort of order. Although you would never know it by the look of my dorm room!!
3)People who are antagonists. Now come on! Why must youlook for a fight? Do you think it makes you look smarter or more special? Well they get the special part.. special dumb ass.
4)People who drive too close to the car in front of them and cut off other cars and especially big rigs. I mean HELLO!! i don't want to get killed thanks to them.
5) Litterbugs!! Too lazy to hold the trash till they get to a trash can... that's just sad.
Love is the gift at the end of a long journey of self exploration and inner peace.

When folks misuse the word ' anymore'. I'm no English teacher, but it bugs me to hear folks say things like... ." It's all you hear on the radio anymore. " Now, all my life, I've used ' anymore' to describe that which was and is no longer like what it is now. Such as..., " Alice DOESN'T live here ANYMORE ". See, Alice USE to live here, but she no longer does live here. To say that is all one hears on the radio ' anymore' though, doesn't makes sense. ANY + MORE denotes that it no longer is heard.. not that it is ALWAYS being heard. Grrrr... wish I could explain better.

Well, in addition to several of the ones already posted. I don't like it when people mess with my characters, or other people's characters. This goes back to a bad experience had while playing D&D years ago. Let a friend play my char one time and he messed up badly. From what others told me that were there, the DM not only allowed this but encoraged. This is why I have stopped reading the fanfic on this site. Some of it is excelent, but just don't like seeing chars done that way.
Traffic is another but that is on my webpage so not going to go into it here.
and jsut to anoie peeps we gots to stop doing this stuffs anymore
I am not worried about the bullet with my name on it. Just the thousands marked "Occupant".

I used to work in this library. The head librarian had her desk in the back room right near the sink. Now, on a hot day in a building with no air conditioning that's filled with books, you tend to get thirsty, and ovf course you can't have a bottle of water or a cup of tea or something out in the stacks with you, so I'd wind up going for water pretty often. not like every five minutes, but every hour or so I guess. Everytime I went for water, or went into the back looking for scissors or something, my boss would go "Do you need something to do?" in this very patronizing voice. Being a truthfull sort, I'd say "well, no actually, I'm organizing the adult fiction and only came ba....."
"Good, because I need you to cut this coloured paper up for tommorows storytime craft"
It really started to get on my nerves after a while. eventually I took to making a big cup of tea in an insulated mug and leaving it just by the door to the back room. Even so, she still ambushed me on occasion, usually as I was getting a drink between patron questions or something.
