I like this question, but I can only say 10? Bummer! There are so many to choose from. I think I'll go from 10 to 1, with 1 being the the thing I dislike the most.

10) Rudeness: There is no cause for it. Holding a door open for a person is a quiet, nice thing to do. It lets people know that you are aware of other humans in the world. That you aren't Gods gift to human kind. The words Please and Thank You are so rare anymore that, I'm actually caught off guard when someone says that to me. I think that this could be placed higher in my count, but there are others that make me boil more. I placed this here because, I still can ignore those that are rude. So pardon me, I'm busy.

9) One word: DUDE! I am not your dude, never have been and don't ever want to be. My name is Steve, it says so on my bills, my car registration, my paycheck, even my ID badge that I have to wear at work. I know you know how to read, you had fill out an application to get the job. So please use your reading skills and pronounce my name, S-T-E-V-E. Not Dude.

8) Popping Gum: There are few things as irritating to me than this sound. Maybe it's because I have a disdain for loud, sudden noises that remind me of being shot at during my time in the service. Maybe it's the fact that you do it unconsciously, without regard to others. Maybe it's because the package you got the gum from didn't say "popping gum" it said, "chewing gum." Whatever the reason, it's just rude.

7) People in line behind you, giving you the eye, or worse yet the "heavy sigh:" I know that your time is valuable, so is mine. I've been standing in the line the same as you, maybe even a little longer. So, please don't give me that look because I have a question to ask the person that I waited in line for. If you're bored, please don't sigh and try to guilt me into hurrying. Pick up that germ laden tabloid magazine and read about the latest celebraty gossip.. More often than not, I'll find a way to stay there a little longer, just to piss you off, if you try to hurry me along. Relax, I'll only be a minute. You can get back to your "world saving duties" in a moment. Sheesh.

6) Kids running around in the store/Crying kids: I put these two together because they are rarely separated to begin with. I understand that I didn't go to the library, and that a store is anything but quiet, except in the vegetable isle for some reason. I do expect that you, as a parent, would have the inclination to control where your kids go when they are around
