List all of the things that Tick you off. Here is some of mine:

People who Smoke (espically in public)
Bad Luck
Not Winning
Intentional Draws
Tiebreakers
Players who are nervous when they play and make weird gestures or noises
Sub-Par Players who make top 8 at a tourney over better players because they are lucky
Terrible singers who can go on certain shows and sing terribly but become rich
The New York Yankees
George Steinbrenner
New Jersey Devils
Oakland Raiders
Baltimore Ravens
Maurice Clarret
Alex Rodriguez
Derek Jeter
Chris Webber
Sacramento King Fans
Laker Haters
People who say Kobe Bryant isn't the best player on the planet
Bandwagoners
95% of all Sports T.V. Announcers
Ugly or Fat chicks who wear revealing clothes
People who think just cuz they drive a cool car that they are "BAD"
Rich People
Lack of Money
How you have to go through 17 years of school to go anywhere in the world today
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Spongebob Squarepants
That they aren't gonna make any more new Family Guy episodes
People who wash their hands before they use the bathroom and then they don't wash them after
Women
How guys always have to be the one to initiate something while in a relationship, women got equal rights, so they should be doing half of the work
How the Cartoon, Action figures, in some cases the Game Boy game and others make the Pokemon TCG look like a kid's game when in fact the 15+ probably doubles the 11-14 and 10- alone.
How Pokemon gets no respect compared to M:TG
McDonalds
Burger King
Carl's JR
When Taco Bell Screws up my order - I'm paying your company $$ I at least expect good service
Commuting

Anyway more on the way later. Anyone else got any?
 
Man, you've got more chips on your shoulder than an clutz in McDonalds. Chill, man!

Rich People
Lack of Money
Click to expand...

I find this pairing about half-way down to be particularly odd :)

I'm a laid-back kinda guy. I like to think I'm nearly impossible to annoy. But, there are things that irk me, though I may not react much...

-Tournament-goers who assume I'm going to lose when they hear what deck I'm playing.
-Tournament-goers who act like prodigies after winning with a net-deck.
-Jennifer Lopez.
-Jennifer Lopez.
-The whole R&B music genre.
-Jennifer Lopez again.
-Advertisements not aimed at my particular demographic (I can see right through them).
-The majority of those that are.
-Lack of logic in anything. I'm extremely logic-minded.
-Big-budget action movies - what I call, "Homer Simpson movies". Particularly those with random, testosterone-infused names like "Exit Wounds" or "Extreme Prejudice".
-Everything on Nickelodeon, ever, except Spongebob and most pre-Kimi Rugrats episodes.
-The Academy Awards.
-Jennifer Lopez.
-When people let themselves be taken in by obvious scams. No pity here.
-TABLOIDS, and those who base their opinions on the information within them.
- People who put their faith in any information without examining it's source. You don't need to be cynical to wonder about motives.

Wow. There's actually a lot of it. I suppose I could make it shorter - lots of connections up there - but I'm a fan of detail. I don't actively hate anything up there (except tabloids, which I helpfully highlighted in bold); they just irk me. And, they're probably not alone. Leetspeak, for example, was tragically left off.
 
Jack-The-Box (Made me throw up once)
Dying
Sitting next to people who are smoking that second
People burning Pokemon cards
Losing stuff
Long Trips
Thats about it...
I EDITED: Dungjon and I posted about the same time! Cool!

Geeze... some people have very narrow views of the world. I'd comment on a lot of these statements, except it'd probably just start some fighting and such, so I'll keep it short and just reccomend that some of you review your list of Pet Peeves and *really* reconsider these things that make you mildly annoyed (or worse)...

So, I supposed that's my biggest pet peeve... narrow minded people.

Things that make me mad...

People telling me I can't do something when I know I can.

My bad luck at tournaments.

Noobs that think they're hotshots and brag about everything then they get their arses kicked by someone who is 1003593258 times better than them and they accuse the person of cheating.

People that are very good at what they do but are very arrogant and self centered and rub it in when they win... especially if they're playing someone who is new to a game and they act like show offs instead of trying to help.

Double crossing two faced people that will do what ever it takes to get what they want.

Anyone who says GG at the beginning of a game acting like hotshots.... and then I lose cause of luck lol.

People who make fun of others for listening to music (someone who likes country... but is made fun of by someone who likes rap or something)

Anyone who judges people from looks or one thing they do, everyone makes mistakes anyone who says they don't is full of it.

Lying

People who don't know when to act normal and when to be nuts...

Most music reviewers and movie reviewers... if something is good they say it's bad because they're jealous they didn't come up with it 90% of the time.
