It grinds my gears when you're in a queue and the person behind you seems to want to press them self up against you, as if it's going to make the queue move any quicker. You move forward to give yourself a bit of space and they move forward as well. Same when you're trying to park and the person behind you doesn't understand the concept of reverse parking; put your indicator on, slow down, pull past the space, put the vehicle into reverse so your reverse lights come on, and some clown pulls up right behind you so you can't move. What do they think you're trying to do? Just being silly in the middle of the road?
Healthy ostentation - the person who goes into the pub and expects a cranberry juice or at the very least a wide range of healthy non-alcoholic alternatives. Then they go outside to the smoking area because everyone else is out there, and start coughing and wafting the smoke around. Puff on a vapestick and they'll start moaning about that if you're doing something they're not.
Then there's the people who go into a cafe and expect a cup of hot water for free so they can use their own herbal teabag, eat their own fruit or organic yoghurt, take up a table for an hour or so and leave having hardly spent any money but leaving a mess behind for the staff to clear up. Or eating fruit on public transport or any other confined public space - stinking the place out, leaving the waste lying around for someone else to clear up, oh but that's apparently fine because they're being healthy. Come to that, anyone who expects to be able to constantly graze all day. Tradition dictates three meals a day - breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a gap of at least a few hours in between being a reasonable expectation, but there are people who expect refreshments to be provided on every train or aeroplane journey regardless of duration; if it's not free they moan about the price, if not provided at all they take their own.
And cyclists, wobbling around in the middle of the road making a nuisance of them selves, flashing their strobe lights into drivers' eyes, ignoring traffic signals, using foul and abusive language, going around behaving as they please because they're out getting some exercise, which is healthy, and therefore they can do no wrong.
People who sniff, especially in exams. It gets towards the end of the exam, time is running out, and the moron behind tries to jog their memory by banging on the desk, leaning forward and snivelling into the ear of the person in front.
