What winds you up ??
Dont you just hate it when you fancy a bag of chips from the chippy & you say to the Mrs "do you want a bag? she replies "no thankyou as im watching my waistline" you then get back open your chips up then she says "oh go on then ill have enough for a chip butty & then ends up taking half your bag GGrrrrr !!
Its not just with chips it can be anything, they say "no" then take half of yours, am i alone with this?
What,s your pet hates??
Big Chris:Biggest annoyance are people who drive in the middle lane on the motorway with no cars in sight in the 'slow' lane. Where I live, the last 2 miles or so of the A2 before my turnoff is 4 lanes wide. The amount of poeple who sit in the 3rd lane with nothing in either lane 1 or 2 beggars belief. I know I shouldn't, but I undertake them in lane 1 and give them looks of incredulity as I'm passing by. Either that or swing from lane 1 to lane 4 right behind them, overtake, then swing back to lane 1 about 5 yards in front of them. Sometimes it brings them out of their stupor and they pull over...... To lane 2! I despair!
I'm with you on this one - I used to do the same (i.e. undertake or swerve dangerously in front of them back to the slow lane) on my daily trip on the M25 and M3 to Reading from Redhill (can't believe I did that journey every day for 4 years!).
Fortunately I moved to the London office and get the train now so there's less chance of me dying 
I hate punters who drank 3/4 of a pint and said "Can I have a half in there please?"
They expect me (or staffs) to fill it up to the top and paid for half and most of them are millionair! Winds me right up them sort.
The little darlings (male and female) who buy chelsea tractors and drive in the middle of the lane i use to get home. Cant they judge the width or worried it may get scratched, i dunno but it does my tripe in. The bloody arrogance of them too. So i play mind games with em. Their choice is either pull over and drive through the cow muck,pot holes and road kill or hit me head on, they always pull over.
I used to do the pulling out from the driving lane to overtaking lane 2 and then back (but without the dangerously close bit)

I'd be pouring it into a half glass first then into their glass. H&S afterall... who know where they've been.
I get really annoyed by people who drive at 35-50mph in a national and then either speed up, or keep the same speed in a 30. If you think its not safe to drive at 60 then thats ok, but don't fly off in a 30, thats worse than speeding in a national. (it is fun when they tail-gate me in a 30 and then are no where to be seen in the 60 though)
Bureaucrats, administrators, customer services etc and their jobsworth made up rules. The 'its only so and so who can deal with that and they are off till Tuesday', 'thats not our job' nonsence that allows them to be lazy and workshy.
Driving seems to be a popular strand which I would like to add to!
My problem is basically with indicators, or lack of them.
Where I live in South Wales it used to just be people couldnt be bothered to move the plastic indicator arm up or down to tell me when theyre about to get off roundabouts or change lane on the motorway. Now it seems people can no longer be bothered to indicate when entering on to a motorway or dual carriageway. This really annoys me and I am afraid I generally dont move over to let them on as I "dont know what they are intending on doing".

oh just thought of something else.
Bad adverts.
Two come to mind. Firstly the confused.com one with a load of people on webcams telling us how great it is. Secondly the gocompare.com advert with two very bland inoffensive people wearing inoffensive pink and blue inoffensively shaped knitwear jumping blandly in to a computer screen whilst being thoroughly innoffensive and bland discussing the merits of gocompare.com.
That Peugeot advert with the smug people is really annoying me at the moment - and I don't even watch that much TV!
yeah thats a bit annoying. although i do like the:
'do you have any other colour than black?
'we have Noir'
Silly i know.
You did ask....
1. People who don't know where the indicators are on their car
2. Drunkeness
3. People who think the ticket price is only there as a starting point and that they have a right to pay significantly less
4. Lack of respect
5. People who cheat on a partner they profess to love
6. The word 'boring' which is actually an umbrella term for 'Its too challenging and I can't be bothered making any effort to understand it, either to appreciate it or be able to give a decent reason why it doesn't appeal to me'.
7. People who are dishonourable, disloyal, and/or who spend their time trying to undermine others instead of making the most of their own ability.
8. Poor customer service
9. People who talk and talk but never actually say anything.
10. People who text or answer their mobile phone in the middle of a conversation, meeting, or presentation.

And there's everybody thinking you're a calm reasonable bloke!!
For me -unilateral uncompromising widespread generalisations from overbearing self opiniated anoraks.
People who make promises then break them.
People who dont use the mirrors or indicators on their car
Being treat like you dont exist when im out (wheelchair user, people always chat to the person pushing!) or people shoving past/not letting you past
People stealing
Never being happy with how you look!
Absolutely concur with all the driving hates listed by Big Chris and others - I used to spend a lot of time on the road as a rep, and I really don't think I could do it now, what with all the rude, inconsiderate and just plain awful drivers out there.
Another prime hate is what I think is termed "rising terminals" - you know? Where people speak as if everything is a question? Like, how annoying is that? It's almost impossible to find anyone under the age of 20 (and also a lot of older people who should know better) who don't speak this way now.
Bad punctuation, especially with regard to apostrophes - call me Mr. Picky, but it's important.
what winds me up is a key
I squashed that particular annoyance early on in our relationship. If you want a few chips, fine. I'll order you some too and eat your leftovers as well as my own....... Might explain why I'm a fat ****** though.
