My pet peeve is cars that have stuff hanging loose under them dragging the ground or close to it. See it all the time and probably means they never look under their cars.
Pet peeves go in this post.

It is interesting, many don't have a concept of a "NO" zone around tractor trailers. It could be no fault of the car, that their vehicle is destroyed as a result. My dad's expression that he beat into me, "You could be dead right." That's why imho it's impressive when truck drivers are awarded with 5 mil, 3 mil safe miles. Part of that is avoiding accidents that come as a result of other drivers too.

Ignorant people that don't keep tight spacing in a drive thru with no respect for anyone else but themselves...
Often because of their one or two car spacing other people can't order or the line goes dangerously out into the road or parking lot.

Here in Phila, day in, day out, folks cut a long line, and unlike most cities, no consequences, so they rinse and repeat. Example is by the Zoo getting onto 76W. Just bypass the long line of cars waiting to turn left and turn from the center or right lanes. Some even go head on with trolleys and cement mixers. Truly makes me think of the Bronx in 1977, the sheer lawlessness.
Poor elevator etiquette.
Yes, you're in front of the door but for some reason you just need to be a 'gentleman' and hold everyone up to let the pretty lady in the back out first. Dude, she's not flattered, you just made things awkward. Get out of the way!
IN FIRST, OUT LAST

The corollary to this is people trying to get into an elevator while people are trying to get out. It's not on a schedule so the doors won't close until the opening is clear, plus there's only one way in/out. You want in, someone has to get out to make room. It's not rocket science.

One that I see on a daily basis is people using the travel lane as a turning lane like people there is the breakdown lane for a reason that’s your turning lane. Drives me crazy because I have to slam the brakes to avoid them which in turn almost causes me to get him from behind.
I was just in my office's elevators with 5 ladies that didn't even bother hitting the button in the elevator; the elevator that only goes to floor 12 and 19 and I was the only one who got off at 12. I should have hit the first floor button as I got out; I would have laughed so hard if the elevator they were in got sent back to the lobby.
The EPA does not require me to solo elevators for my human emissions!
