Drivers who neglect to turn on their right blinker when approaching an intersection where the road is backed up with cars waiting to make that left...

Had you not been too lazy another car or two would have been able to turn.

People who leave their shopping carts in the middle of the aisle and walk off to go get something so nobody can get by. And people who stop and talk to friends in the middle of the aisle in a store and block everybody.

I have so many grammar/word usage pet peeves.

"I'm defiantly going to invite you for Shabbos sometime!" No. The word you want is "definitely."

"I don't know, I'm weary of that kind of situation." No. The word you want is "wary."

"She's older then me." No. The word you want is "than."

"All those stuff." No. Stuff is singular. You want "All that stuff" or "All those things."

Apostrophe misusage, as people have said.

"Rest rooms for costumers only"

People using handheld phones while driving, and so distracted with their texting and talking that they don’t move when the light turns green.... especially People in new cars (which definitely are Bluetooth equipped) so there’s no excuse...

People who double park so it's hard to squeeze through when there's an empty space by the curb a few feet away

7/10 times I go up and ask an employee walking straight from outside "Hi good morning/afternoon/evening, can I please use your restroom?" They say yes, and I see that sign.

So try asking before going straight. It does wonders.

People on their phones while driving makes me crazy and people who dont restrain their kids properly in the car. Not only is it illegal its so super dangerous. And I see it all the time.

Definitely! It brings to mind a bathroom that is open only once a year, Halloween or Purim, depending on the establishment.

Let me add, those useless elastic hook thingys that never hold the padding of the car seat in place for longer than a week after purchase. At wits end
