For example, there's someone at work who instead of saying "Not too bad" says "Not three bad." It's something reall small and silly, but really gets on my nerves.
People whistling is another of mine. Especially if I'm waiting in a queue.
Your turn.

I agree. ESPECIALLY people who write emails in txt spk.
It's quicker to write it our properly! And it's certainly quicker to read!

There are five or six guys at my school who actually do it ALL the time. It's not even funny, I end up wanting to hit them usually.

A wholely justified plug, as the content was very amusing :-)
*cusses under breath*
People who don't indicate.
People who change lanes without looking in their mirror.
People who have their fog lights on when it isn't foggy.
People who run across the road when there's a pelican/zebra/aardvark crossing 10 yards away.
The single most infuriating phrase known to man.
If this happens to me, it is in one of two situations:
1) I'm pissd off. This is because something bad DAMN WELL ALREADY HAS HAPPENED!
2) I'm perfectly happy. Until receiving the scathing insult of being told to cheer up. Cheer up? I was just dandy till you told me I look upset...DAMN YOU TO HELL!
It's worse when they speak to you though.
One job, where I has to wear a bow-tie for work, I passed an old woman in the street who started taking the pi**.
On monday I was walking up the street in my lunch break, wearing trousers, shirt, tie (not even a black one) and some old bint asked me 'are you going to a funeral' and laughed. I admit that part of my hate for her is carried over from the moments I was looking at her trying to work out if I recognised her, and if there was any way she could be taking the pi** out of the fact that my grandma had died 2 days previously, but nevertheless, crap unfunny pi**-taking of strangers in the street deserves hatred anyway.
And when politicians don't answer questions, especially when they go off on tangents designed to either bore the audience into submission or take up time to prevent anyone making a valid point against his 'side'.
I saw one labour guy do it on newsnight a week or so ago, he was talking utter irrelivent drivel, and every time the interviewer tried to stop him, he'd find just one more lame irrelevant sentance to talk over him with.
Do they not understand how it makes an audience utterly loathe them?
Surely it'd do less damage to just discuss the matter and put your side across, rather than show yourself to be hiding from it and trying to shout down / prevent the other guy getting a chance to speak, while pi**ing off millions of viewers?
And strangers randomly trying to pick a fight with me / my friends when out in a bar or club.
