Peeve 1: People who don't wash their hands after using the restroom. In the workplace, public, and all the rest of course. In this instance I refer to those who don't wash their hands after using the restroom at home. It takes twenty seconds. Wash your hands you groady bastard!
Peeve 2: When you tell someone not to do something "just in case". Such as back the car into the garage that's on an incline, for fear that they may back into the home or something in the garage since there are a few fixed tables/countertops along the interior perimeter. The next day they go ahead and do what they were explicitly told not to do, and scratch the side of the car.

To be fair, any person flirting with someone where it isn't a share fatuation pretty much comes off as a creep.
Same as how most romantic gestures are creepy if it's not someone you are into.

@Olsson Im sorry I told you to quit hitting on me. I'm just not into you though. Fucking creeper.

@Olsson Damnit. Well now I'm obligated...so where should I send all these pics of my boobs to?

That's not true. I've had guys flirt with me that I wasn't into but they weren't being creeps about it so it wasn't creepy.
Being creepy is when you flirt and the other person isn't into it and you're like ha ha ima keep flirting

This is sort of a thing I love, because I love it, but RL Anger is really the only suitable place to post about 50 Shades of Goddamnit.
They really should make the cam rip of that a special feature on the DVD. The audience heckling and cracking the fuck up at the very least.

In case anybody forgot about Bill Cosby, here's an awkward lulz from the Cosby Show, courtesy of Cracked Responds.

@HelloRaptor I hate you for hurting my brain like that. Hate you.

Fucking customers.
I just fired a couple of customers today who had a really free-and-loose interpretation of what "payment" and "fees" and such actually meant. First they "forgot" what my actual rate was, misremembering it downward by 25%. Then, a week into the work, I've been paid half of what I should have gotten even from the "misremembered" price. So when I remind them that I actually work for money, and reminded them of how much, they got all offended at my "tone" and at the notion that you're actually, in the absence of a specific contract to the contrary, supposed to pay in advance of receipt of a service or good.
When I pointed out that every other business they used, ranging from small shops outside their homes to schools and online behemoths, requires payment up-front, "well, that's different".
Fuck, it feels good to fire asshats like that.
[edited to add]
Not only did I manage to fire them, I scared them enough that they paid up in full—the correct rate even! -

@Miss-Demeanor It really is, but gum gets me the worst. And it's my mom who does it, and I don't want to offend her, but I'm not sure how to politely bring it up. She gets defensive over most anything.

@VulgarKitten Start a conversation. At some point when talking about your day, say "And there was this person near me chewing gum with his mouth open. I couldn't fucking concentrate because all I heard was him.'

To avoid being passive-aggressive, just say, "You chewing that gum like a cow does cud makes me want to brand you and turn you into steaks." If they get the hint, everyone wins.
Why not cut straight through the song and dance and get shit done? If they're a good friend, they'll understand. If they're thin-skinned or some stranger, who fucking cares? Life's too short to put up with nonsense.

"Hey, would you mind not chewing gum with your mouth open?"

@Roz How about to a person who will get super defensive at any hint of criticism?
