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.

When the mods ban US politics the day after an election.

Okay Mr speedy gonzolaz, I can see your high powered LED sun beam headlights that are so far up my tail pipe my engine compartment looks like a disco.

I get you want to pass me. I want you to pass me to so you can get to your DWI faster. Unfortunately I am going 75mph in a 65mph speed zone and there are a whole line of stoners driving 45 to the nearest source of frozen pizza filling the right lane.

Yes, i can see you are somehow immune to speeding tickets and want to go 95mph. No I don't want to get over in the right lane and go 45mph just for you my special boy.

Please wait one half of a minute while I clear this conga line of slow pokes and then you will be free to speed off to your inevitable demise.

Mouse cord getting caught on things. Makes me want to yank it forcefully.

When those little plastic things on the end of your shoelaces fall off.

Aglets. You can buy replacement aglets if it really bothers you.
