The general decline of the English language. Speaking/Spelling - I cringe at: "I seen it" "Yous guys" "It don't matter" - just to name a few.
I think you just defined my absolute biggest one :thumbup:

People who don't use their turn signal.

I had to look and see if your location was Montana. Same here.
Nope Northern Wi. :) When we first moved here, we were a little confused because there aren't garbage trucks up here. It took a little while to understand how it all worked.
When we go for walks in the summer, the kids will even pick up cans and bottles and carry them home in bags to recycle them.

Also, when the neighbor's sweet old dog drags the cat food dish off into the yard.

Oh, and when I have to stand at the sink with the water running for a full minute til it warms up enough to put my hands under it in the winter. Just hate that!

Ahh...the cold water....I don't like that either. Also, holes in my socks. I throw them away if they get a hole in them. I wear steel-toed shoes at work and I have had certain shoes that would wear holes in my socks after one or two times of wearing them. I don't buy that brand of steel-toe anymore. I spent more money on socks than what it cost for new shoes.

Misspelled words anywhere, especially in the newspapers.

I shudder at the "I and Me" thing, too.
Would they say "Rose spent the day with I."? duh

Servers in restaurants who refer to my lady friends and me as "You Guys".

I used to try to find out how many typo's were in the books I was reading. I also used to try to find the mess up's in movies. I can't remember what movie it was in, but they had a roll of paper towel sitting on the sink and they switched to another actor, went back, and the paper towel was gone.

Have you noticed that people are losing the skill of spelling words correctly?

Adding an s to anyway.

Pet peeve threads getting shut down.

Adults having smug little adolescent rants.

Linty thread. C'mon, now!

Unrealistic expectations.

Lousy restaurant food.
