Are you from Slater? I think Slater has speed limit of 10 mph until about a mile outside of town.
My first two are incredibly low stakes but people having a different opinion on what states are in the Midwest (the correct answer is to use the us census bureau’s definition (so Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota)) and the term “Chicagoland.”
Also, people who fill up their car with gas and then go into the gas station while leaving the car at the pump. We all have places we’re trying to get to

This will piss people off on this board:
Stuck behind older, smallish farm equipment on a state highway that won't pull off to let the line of 25+ cars behind it get past, even when presented with a wide gravel turnout that has plenty of space and isn't somebody's property. Thereby leading to some dumbasses trying to pass on a dbl yellow leading up to a blind corner and almost causing an accident.
Bonus points for it being at a the small 4 pump station that's the only place around (gas is 10 miles one way and probably 50+ the other) and the pumps are so close together that it's almost impossible to get 4 cars in to fill at the same time...
People who squeeze toothpaste from the middle of the tube instead of squeezing from the bottom. Savages.
People who walk with their heads buried in their phones

Not sure if this is a pet peeve or just a complaint but…..
Wife: “turn off the light in the kitchen” 10 seconds after leaving kitchen and planning to go back into said kitchen.
Also Wife: leaves bedroom closet light on all night because, “the dog likes it on”

I've WFH for almost two decades now (as has the rest of the company). People still show up late for meetings. If it's a 1:1 meeting, they've got 3 minutes. After that I hang up. They then jump on the meeting and call my desk phone 10 minutes after the scheduled time and ask where I am. I tell them I joined on time, waited and left, and that they can reschedule. It almost never happens now.
I hate water bottles:
1) Plastic "disposable" water bottles...for the obvious reason that you can get water free from the faucet.
2) People who take a water bottle (reusable or disposable) with them EVERYWHERE they go. My wife does this. So do my in-laws. Wife and I get in the car to to to the grocery store, and its "OOPS i forgot my water bottle, let me go get it". My response is always, "I store water in my body...".

When there is a lot of people at a gas station and someone has to check/buy a buttload of lottery tickets.
On the flip side of this, people who speed through residential areas. We have construction around our neighborhood, so our street is a detour. Lots of little kids in the neighborhood, and plenty of dbags going 35+
I have allergies and the meds make me get dry mouth pretty easily. I don't chew gum, so I try to have water handy all the time, as people look at you funny when you go on a coughing jag in the store.
Lets talk about that ******* stupid stop sign by the mobile homes.Are you from Slater? I think Slater has speed limit of 10 mph until about a mile outside of town.
People who park near me. I purposely park away from everybody only to come out of the store to have someone in the spot next to me.
People who use the very clearly marked exit doors to enter a store.
I was in Ottumwa Wal Mart today.

True! They are everywhere and building more. Which makes biking more safe and almost as quick as car transport.
And it bothers me that so many people here don’t know you can turn left on red when heading on to a one way.
In most places it is only when it is from a one way to a one way. Since it is only legal from a two way to a one way in five states I get the confusion.
People walking on the right of you while you are on your bike, yelling "On your left!" (with their air pods in of course) as they then decide to make a U-turn right in front of you.
People who talk loudly on their phones in public. And there's a special place in hell for people who use the speaker function at full volume in small areas where ignoring them is difficult, such as a restaurant or an airport gate area. We once listened to an entire conversation between two guys about their ED. It was really really TMI...
