Also hate it when a group of people doesn't "adjust" for oncoming foot traffic. If you are with 4 people walking on a sidewalk, it is okay to walk side by side until someone else is walking toward you. In that case, form more of a line until everyone has passed. Drives me insane!! I was standing in a restaurant waiting on my carry-out order when a group of 3 didnt "adjust" and one walked right into me, even though I was standing against the wall and hadn't moved.

Similar: People who walk in the road when there's a sidewalk or walk four across, blocking the road, and refuse to move. And the worst: the ones whose friends stop their ginormous SUVs in the middle of the road to have a conversation about Junior League.
This has been a complaint of mine about my hometown since the day I got my learner's permit. These women go walking with their BFFs in completely age inappropriate outfits (Another pet peeve...yes you have a great body for 50, but you're 50. It isn't appropriate to wear something so tiny I can see your bits.) four across on residential roads, when there is a sidewalk available a foot away 95% of the time...because the sidewalk can't accomodate their formation. They then refuse to move so that a car can pass them. And on occasion Mitsy will drive by, see Buffy, Honey, and BooBoo, and stop her suburban assault vehicle to squeal and launch into an intense conversation about her tennis instructor or whatever. Mitsy doesn't give a shit that there are 4 cars backed up behind her, because whatever conversation she's having is obviously FAR more important than whatever you're doing today.
Mitsy is probably the same woman who lets her children run around the restaurant in circles screaming. I know this is a common pet peeve but I strongly believe it is even more common in my hometown, especially in restaurants in the villages. Mitsy is obviously under the impression that her precious little nuggets are so amazing that all other patrons would be delighted to watch them frolic loudly, harass the staff, and break things.
(I went home yesterday, so this is probably more of a rant than pet peeve...*shudder*.)
