What are some small things that grind your gears? (sh.itjust.works)

We hear about the freakouts, the verbal lashings, the accidents and many more.
But what are some small things, things that have little consequence but are still infuriating or that drive you up the wall?
Here are some examples of my own:

People flocking to the metro doors without leaving proper space for people to leave.
Hearing the same 3 questions at work every time.
People walking slow enough to pass but not letting you.

I do that sometimes, but only if the person in front of me is driving slower than my cruise control. then i overtake them, during which they obviously have to speed up and when i go back to cruise control speed now I'm the slow one

People speed up while you overtake them?

This fucks me off sooooooooo much; in NZ there are a lot of (a fuck of a lot) of roads that don't have overtaking zones for a long way.

Getting an opportunity to overtake the slow prick you have been following for 20 minutes, just to have them speed up....forcing me to go faster than I'm comfortable with, then being in front and have them sitting on your arse for the next 10km, even though you are going faster than before you overtook them.......FUCK OFF!!!!!
