Let's see how many pet peeves we can find. One peeve at a time, let someone else post before you post again, and don't forget to number them.
We can start with real pet peeves and then start getting creative once we have finished venting.
1. 90% of mobile phone usage

21. people who go on their bike quite slowly, so i have to overtake them, which on narrow cycling lanes and busy streets takes a while and is annoying - and who then, at the next red traffic light, at which i of course stop, just pass the traffic light, thus passing me, making me have to overtake them all over again once the light turns green.

24. Local (gringo) joke: How do you make a Oaxaqueño speed up? Answer: You try to pass him.
I've only ever lived one other place where I witnessed this on a regular basis (Wilmington, NC), and it makes you want to leap from your moving car into that of the pinhead not letting you pass after he'd been poking along and bludgeon him.
