People.
And stuff.
But mostly people.

Along the same route: shops with so many (and usually even illegally placed) posters and merchandise that it makes it almost impossible to pass their little shops filled with useless merchandise like sweets or fried foods or T-shirts.
ETA:
I also hate all this royal stuff! -really, it's about as uninteresting as TV can be...
Actually, people with car-alarms that makes their car make any noise should be shot at dawn! - no car-thief is going to NOT steal a car with an alarm -it only makes sleep impossible for people living in the neighbourhood of where the car is parked.
- Inept people who succeed through chance
- Most of the people who call me for technical support (read a damn manual)
- Anyone trying to scam me out of money, in other words most commercial institutions
- Failed communication (Shaka, when the walls fell)

All advertising
So you would prefer doubling or tripling your cable TV bill and the cost of your newspaper and other periodicals? You would also like to to pay several dollars a week for each station to able to watch TV through rabbit ears or a regular (direct from the local broadcaster) rooftop antenna?
^ I know why ads are there. I still hate them. I have that right.
I hate the fact that TV shows are literally only there as an excuse to show ads! So I skip the damn things, thanks to my DVR. Fuck 'em.

Just as importantly, if you have no idea what a product is, how would you know if you want to buy it? Sometimes commercials actually are useful for introducing you to a new product.
(American) Drivers who come to a full stop before making a right hand turn, when there's no stop sign. Just turn!
Grocery shoppers who leave their carts in the middle of the aisle or across the end of the aisle.
Commuter train passengers who make you ask them to move their stuff off the seat so you can sit down. Hon, your briefcase did not buy a monthly pass. You are not doing me a favor by moving your luggage and letting my human butt sit down.

Peevish pets.
Petish peevs.
Dark matter.
Sure, it doesn't really impact us in our day-to-day, but what's it really doing out there?

The funny thing is, my original post was just "Inefficiency".
I edited it immediately after posting and added the inelegance part because I realised that most people would not map the concept of efficiency to thought processes; they tend to view it as applying to external processes only. You may therefore consider the repetition a deliberate oratorical device rather than inefficiency!
Lots of people will not summon the courage (yes, apparently it takes courage to do this) to ask you to move your stuff. I like to dump my gear on the seat next to me and because most peopel are cowardly I get a double seat to myself until the train gets fairly full. It is awesome
On the flip side, if I ever get on a bus or train and some dude has the bag on seat thing happening, I make a point of sitting next to them even if there are empties available, just to piss them off.
I play my mp3 player nice and loud too.
Nick, everyone's favourite commuter
Nice, a hypocrite who admits it. I will be on the look out for people who take up multiple seats with their gear.
^ Usually when I'm taking the subway in a city like New York or Chicago, one of two things happens: 1) Either the train is too crowded for anyone to take up more than one seat, or 2) There's enough room on the train that it doesn't matter if anyone does.
The thing that pisses me off about subways is when people hold the doors open (preventing the train from leaving) or try to crowd on board when there's obviously no more room. Apparently nobody's ever heard of waiting for the next train.

I always love the pet peeve threads because they inspire me to chill out a bit.
In what way am I a hypocrite? I don't say one thing and do another. I do one thing in one situation and another thing in another. Perhaps because these things I do seem to be opposites you think I am being hypocritical. If you look closer though you will see that both actions stem from the same cause - a frustrated commuter that wishes all those around him would cease to exist so he can get to work in relative comfort - and since he can't get that he expresses his frustration by annoying those around him however possible.
And knows it
I had to catch the train in this morning and I'm a little shitted off, can you tell?
