Off the top of my head:
Whining - Any and all of it, even if it is legitimate I can't stand it.
People who say their taxes are too high yet can dump $10-15 into the lottery every week.
A grossly huge sense of entitlement, which isn't just limited to a certain generation. I've come in contact with people of all ages who feel they should be entitled to things that should be earned.
The term "elite" is now a bad thing.

I work overnights at a convenience store, so I have a few. 1. Grown ass adults that for some reason, do not apparently know how to lift a toilet seat, and piss IN THE BOWL, NOT ON THE SEAT. Likewise, I hate people that can't flush after themselves. NO ONE wants to see your ****. 2. People that come into my store sick, hacking and sneezing, wiping their nose with their bare hands, and then handling their money. Also, the people that cough, covering it with their hand... but their MONEY IS IN THEIR HAND. 3. We serve food in the store, in a glass hot case. I hate people that cannot read what an item is when it says CLEARLY on the wrapper and they have to ask me what "that" is. Going hand in hand with that, is clearly when something is not in the case, they will ask (for example), "DO YA'LL GOT NO BURRITOS?" - What do you think Einstein? Do you see them in there? We don't prepare invisible food, nor do we hide it from you. 4. Having two registers, we keep one closed on the overnights to help prevent robbery. Our limit in the drawer is $40 at ALL times. Two problems arise with this when dealing with the public. A). People assume I have one register closed because I am a dick, and I am trying to inconvenience them in their oh so important life. Not taking into consideration that one drawer being closed greatly improves my chances of not being shot or stabbed. B) People constantly try to break $50's or $100's buy purchasing candy bars or a soda. I am NOT a bank. I cannot break your large bill, sorry. No need to cop an attitude because you can't read the sign on the door that specifies the MOST I have in my register is $40. 5. People who look down at my job. Hey mother er, SOMEONE has to do this job, if no one did this menial bull**** who'd turn on your gas for you? Ring up all of your junk food? Sell your all of your booze and tobacco? Huh? If the world was without convenient store employees, pizza delivery guys, waiters, waitresses, bartenders, dishwashers, cooks, and every other job position one of those snobby bastards looks down upon, guess what? More than half the population would be irritated and not know what in the blue hell to do, because most of those people can't do a goddamn thing for themselves. Which leads me to number 6... 6. People who come into the store asking me where a certain item is looking like they're flat out lost. It's a SMALL store, use your eyes. I'd hate to think what these people do when they go into a department store. 7. If you pay for something over $5 with loose change, and the majority of it is pennies, and just a couple of nickles, and dimes - you're a dick. Why people hoard quarters, I'll never understand. 8. I'm GOING to card you for alcohol or tobacco. The window clearly says I will. Several other signs in and around the store also say that you will be carded. DO NOT come to the counter, expecting anything otherwise. If you drove to my store, you SHOULD have a license, and you SHOULD carry it on you. If you're of age, you should have no reason not to be able to produce an ID. Yet some people, for some reason outside of logic do not carry an ID apparently, swearing they are 18 or 21 - then get pissed at me because I deny them their stuff. Look, I'm not going to get fined, arrested, and/or fired just to "do you a solid". Sounds like you need a new job if you hate it so much.

Look, I'm not going to get fined, arrested, and/or fired just to "do you a solid". Honestly bro, I feel like we were separated at birth. I'm a convenience store manager, and I go through the SAME EXACT things on a daily basis. So I'll just add shoplifters who don't realize that a 20oz bottle of soda is EASY to see if you're stuffing it in your pockets. Hahaha, I'd work for you in a second man. We just got rid of one terrible manager. Made such an easy job a real pain in the ass, just always came to work in a bad mood, with some HORRENDOUS thing happening in her life. To my list, I'd also like to add people that come in with 50+ scratch off lottery tickets, and rather check them themselves, they insist I scan EACH AND EVERYONE of them, as if I don't have real work I could be doing in that time frame. THEN, when none of them are winners, they argue with me claiming, "I KNOW I HAD ______ DOLLERS N WINNINS THER PAL." No dude, you didn't. I also detest people that feel the need to get multiple bags worth of stuff, the whole time before checking out, bringing a few items to a time and dumping them on my counter, inconveniencing the other customers, like they are the ONLY important person in that store. Needless to say man, while I do enjoy the majority of my job (especially my coworkers), my opinion of the public really took a hit. Sounds like you need a new job if you hate it so much. I'm working on that. On the side, I'm still doing photography two days out of the week, and when Mattel sends me stuff, I'm doing photography for them on the side. That said, my job pays well, and it covers all of my bills.

She walked in holding a ziplock bag full of change. She handed it to me and told me there was $15 worth. I made her step to the side, count out and roll each and every bit of that change before I accepted it. I hate when people do stupid stuff. I mean, we all every once and awhile have a roll of dimes or something we'd like to trade in but if the banks are closed go in and ask first dont just pump gas.

You guys look at a customer with a ton of change as a customer who is trying to make things dificult for you. In reality I think people who pay with change are just trying to get rid of there change. I worked retail almost 10 years. I dealt with all kinds of customers, and like adam said... WOW did it change the way I looked at the general retail public. Still though I never took anything too seriously much less personally.

Still though I never took anything too seriously much less personally. I myself have used change to pay for something, however I might use 10 dimes to pay for something thats a dollar or if its $2 use a bill and 4 quarters. Even in worse case when I was broke and I literally had to use change to pay for something I would have the courtesy to roll the coins and put my name and address on them in case there was a shortage or something. I would never just carry a zip lock bag full of mixed change into a place and say "here, theres X amount of dollars in here"

That's fine, but we have TONS of locations in town with Coinstar machines, and a casino with a machine that will give you cash back without taking any percentage. Not to mention, we have banks in town. Do I think they are trying to make things difficult for me? No, I don't. I think they just don't consider how much of an annoyance it is, not only for me, but for anyone else behind them in line. More people should just carry a debit card.

People that don't put on the toilet paper the right way or if they don't even replace the toilet paper in the bathroom. I mean how would you feel if you are sitting in the bathroom and you look to see no toilet paper? that is possibly my worst pet peeve. i HATE backwards toilet paper. i also hate when people make fun of you for complaining about something then 5 minutes later theyre bitching about the dumbest things. i also hate when youre driving and theres NOBODY behind you, someone cuts you off, and then drives 10 miles below the speed limit.

-People that copy my clothes, jokes or take credit for things I do. Don't mean to brag but this happens all the freaking time at school and i'm not even popular, infact my best friend is hated by most people. -People that think i'm gay/childish for liking wrestling, f*ck off. -Customers that talk about irrelevent things when I serve them, today I had a 70 year old man talk to me and my friend about drugs and sex. -People that walk incredibly slow, or fat people who walk in the middle of a narrow corridor making it impossible to pass them.- People at my church that call themselves Christians and get drunk every weekend... who are between 15-16. That's not cool

Forgot this one: No personal accountablity/responsibility.
I'm sure a lot of you agree with me on this one, especially living in America.

The area I grew up in is predominantly black. Not a bad thing, but when you have several people who constantly say "Its because I'm black" or "You owe me this because I'm black". Look, I get the whole civil rights thing, I do. No one should be discriminated based on the color of their skin or for any other reason. But myself, as a white individual who was born in 1992, owe you nothing as a black individual born nowhere near the civil rights movement. Take responsibility for yourself and the rules of whatever establishment it is, whether work or school or some place of business, and realize its not because your're black.
Seriously, I'm Irish, you don't see me going around asking for reparations because of how my ancestors were treated.
Same goes with those individuals who voted for Obama for one reason: Because he was black. You like Obama because of his policies and plans for America? Fine, I don't like it, but at least you support him for a reason. You like him because he's black? Get that crap out of the voting booth, because then it has nothing to do with who runs the nation the best. The sad part is, as a conservative individual who supported Mike Huckabee and later John McCain, I got called racist by several individuals because I didn't want to vote for "the black man". I don't care if it was John Edwards, Hilary Clinton, or Obama, chances are I wouldn't vote for them anyways. If Obama was conservative and I agreed with his policies I would vote for him, but that's not the case, has nothing to do with race.
*sigh* People can be... ignorant.

People who don't indicate. Smokers. People who just stop walking for whatever reason in a shopping centre where people like myself are inconvenienced. People who take ages at the ATM. People who don't have manners. People who borrow things and don't return them. People who abuse the freedom of social networking. ONE HD for pulling UFC off the air.

One of my biggest ones is when people correct me when I say something like, "Do you want to go see a movie with Matt and me?"
And they say, "You mean Matt and I?"
And I say, "No, I mean Matt and me. Don't try to correct me when you don't know what you're talking about. Now you're not invited, dick."
