1. People who walk on the left side of the sidewalk instead of the right (this is Canada, not England, people!).
2. Turning left on any Vancouver street (heck, ANYTHING associated with driving in Vancouver could be on this list)
3. Rude customer service.
4. People who wear flip-flops or platform shoes on hiking trails.
5. People who are selfish or feel they're entitled.
6. People who interrupt me. (I'm a quiet person; I don't even talk that much!)
7. Obnoxious or boring advertising.
8. And my BIGGEST pet peeve: those evil stream-lined jogging strollers. I see these being used as normal strollers FAR more often than I see them being used by joggers. I've lost count of the number of times I've tripped over the front wheel of those things in stores, especially when the parent drives them up behind you in line with the front wheel about two inches from your heel. It also ticks me off when people bring these things onto the bus at rush hour, taking up enough room for half a dozen people. Use a normal stroller if you're not jogging with your child!
9. Oh, and I also hate the change piled on top of the bills thing!

I am one of those people who gives change this way. Point yourself out to me next time we meet and I will make sure you get all your change in coin |

Same as Trailflowers comment, except the coins could be dumped all over the counter. My pet peeve are people with no patience, understanding, and assumptions of others. You don't know the reasons why people have only "one" stroller or what "type" they have chosen or why they are on the bus at rush hour - maybe visiting someone sick in the hospital.
That's the big city for ya, so Chill!

I hate it when you go out for dinner with someone,and you discover they don't tip  Lame, because when it's deserved , tipping is the right thing to do.
In the same vein,it irks me when someone stiffs their share of the bill. There are two people out there who've pulled this one on me. You know who you are, so don't say I didn't warn ya', asshats !!  |

Why? so long as it's of no cost to anyone else then that's their own business if they want to hurt their feet.
I hate it when I open the door and someone coming the opposite direction walks through without even so much as a thankyou.
Trailflower, the coin thing on top of the bills doesn't bother me, so long as it lands in my hand and not on the counter.
I agree with TrailBunny about the strollers thing. Don't judge another parent, not even if you've had a child

Back in the day when I was in the service industry, it used to really piss me off when a customer that was paying me at the till would just throw it on the counter, and I would have to pick it up and count it. C'mon, asshat, I'm not your b**tch
Usually I would reply in kind, tossing their change about on the counter. I didn't last very long in the service industry |

They just want to let you know that due to aspects of appearances they believe in, they're more important and/or have more money than you. What they're really saying is that they're pathetic. Amusement and sympathy are in order.
As for change, I can slide change off the bills into my change pocket, or out of my hand from under the bills, and then stow the bills, with no problems. I wasn't aware there was an issue.
But I don't like it when someone puts the change on a counter so I have to pick up each coin. Some might say they avoid contact in these circumstances to keep from getting germs etc. I like exposing my immune system to things so it stays healthy.
