Those guys are hard to track to because you have to get the number which is on the side of their cab and their license plates arent good because they can ditch their trailer. Truck Drivers are definitely on the top of my list.

I hear you on that one! My junior year in high school, my parents were taking me to visit a school out of state. As we were getting on I-81, a truck driver decides he needs to get off at that exit, and of course he's over in the left lane. So he comes flying over, and thank God for my dad's quick reaction and his slamming on the brakes, or my whole family would have been dead!
Some other pet peeves of mine (Most have probably already been said):
-Anything grammatical. I know it's "no big deal" but it drives me nuts when people don't know the difference between "you're" and "your," "their" and "they're," "then" and "than," etc.
-When you're on one of those highways with one lane going each way and the person in front of you is going 10 miles below the speed limit, and when you FINALLY get to a passing zone, one of two things happens. Either every car in the world is coming on the other side, or even worse, the slow person speeds up so you can't pass them. Then of course once you're in a no passing zone again, they slow down.
-When you're on the interstate, in the left lane, and the person in front of you is going slow. As if that isn't bad enough, you can't change lanes, and the person behind you is tailgating you. Do they really think they're going to get anywhere any faster by doing that???
-I work at my school's information desk. I can't stand it when people call and ask for a phone number, and when I start to give it to them they say, "Wait! Let me get something to write with!" Okay, you knew you were calling for a phone number, why didn't you have the pen and paper ready??? It also annoys me when, as soon as I answer the phone, they ask if they can put me on hold.
-When my roommate knows I have a huge test at 8 am, but she still comes in drunk at 3 am and WAKES ME UP to tell me she's drunk!
I could go on... but I won't. Pretty much everything everyone has said annoys me beyond belief.
