People who say “New York football Giants.” The baseball team moved 60 years ago. No one is getting them confused in 2018.
yeah I never really get why people still say that or "THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY"
Or the "U" when ther is no U in Miami. I could see Utah or Ursinus College calling themselves the "U". But, Miami makes no sense.
I'm a Florida State fan so naturally that one irks me, lol. But they call it that because it's "The U"-niveristy of Miami. They even have a U on their helmet. That always bugged the crap out of me as a kid. I'm really glad FSU fans don't say "the Florida State University."

Man, i'm sure being a FSU fan that the "U" irks you. How many schools have "U"-niversity before the school name? Too many to count. Another reason that Miami calling themselves the "U" is stupid.
I work at a university that ends in "U"/"University", and I would never in a million years not say "university" at the end when I'm saying it out loud. Literally no one says it without the U, in long or short form. It would sound totally weird without it. I'm sure if people started doing that it would become a pet peeve of mine, lol.

People who drive slow in the left lane. MOVE OVER!!! It's called the passing lane for a reason.
This. Drives me fucking crazy. These idiots completely mess up the flow of traffic.
Idiots who are driving behind me in the left lane who pass me in the right lane to cut in front of me because I am leaving a car length in front of me because there is a train of like 15 cars in the left lane piss me off. They are going to cut someone off to be 14th in line instead of 15th? Sometimes I speed up and don't let them in, and other times I just let them in and wave the finger at them. Either way, when the lanes open up I'll be passing them shortly. I drive fast but I don't weave and cut people off.

That's because it's kind of awkward to say as only two letters, whereas three just rolls off the tongue.

Leaf blowers -- actually, they belong in a "things that make you homicidal" thread. I hate them.
People who let their dogs roam off-leash at the beach, on hiking trails, or wherever it says "ALL DOGS MUST BE LEASHED." You might think "Oh, but everyone loves Baxter!!", but not everyone is wild about having dogs jump on them or at them (or their children) while they are running, hiking, trying to relax. Obey the damn rules, already, and leash your dogs.
Dudes who go to clothing optional beaches wearing hats, sunglasses, shirts, shoes, and no pants. You are freaks. Either go all out and be naked as the day you were born, or WEAR PANTS. Shirtcocking doesn't send any positive messages -- and I think you know that. Freaks.
That one guy at the gym who works out in sleeveless shirts, combat boots, and Under Armour briefs. Those aren't pants. I'm not impressed by your package. WEAR PANTS.
I'm a big fan of pants.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

This is a frequent problem for me, as someone who is a cycle commuter. Most of my commuting is along a busy multi-use trail for cyclists, pedestrians, and the odd horse. It is clearly signposted that dogs have to be leashed, but every few days there is someone who believes their own dog is sufficiently darling and well behaved that they don't need to be leashed. The problem is that these dogs often get excited by cyclists and tend to dart up to the bike, often running and jumping in front. I have narrowly avoided collisions with dogs several times, often with the dog owner criticizing me!
I do not want to injure any dog, but I also really don't want to get injured myself. Leash your damn dog.

It's a nuisance for everyone. I see unleashed dogs run at leashed dogs, kids, runners (that's me), bikes. "Oh but he's friendly!" I don't know that, and my knee doesn't care what kind of dog caused its injury. We went hiking around Portland, and everywhere we went dogs were trying to jump up on us. It's not cute when someone's child runs amok, same rule applies to dogs.

Escalators. Why do so many people have no clue how to use them? And if you’re thinking “what’s to know about an escalator?” then I’m sorry to tell you, but you’re part of the problem. Its very simple, stand right, walk left. Every other country I go to has it down, get it together America.
People who talk non stop during a show. Ipaid to see an artist perform. I didn't pay to hear you twinkie talk with your boyfriend all night you dumb twat.
Anything you lose from being honest You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

This is becoming an almost guaranteed nuisance at every movie or concert I go to. You don’t have to pay $10 for a movie ticket or $75-120 for a concert to sit and talk non-stop. You can do that shit at home for free. Keep the car in the garage.

No, they suck at this in Canada too, even though it is an understood norm. And same goes for simply walking down the sidewalk, or in a mall, or wherever. It's all just like driving. Fucking stay to the right except to pass. Why people can't follow this simple general rule when moving about is beyond me. It drives me nuts.

Problem with this is I'm a New Yorker, so you put me on any other sidewalk in any other city or town, and I'm always passing.
Bunch of slow-moving motherfuckers up in this bitch. I've got places to be, dipshits. Oh, did I just jostle you hard enough to knock your iPhone out of your hand? Eat a dick! I'm walkin' here! Go sidle up next to a building if you want to read your Facebook feed.

Totally! One of the reasons I love NYC is because you can race around on the sidewalks and people aren't just getting in your way by ambling down the sidewalk, totally oblivious to the people behind them. And you don't even have to wait for the lights at intersections or anything. Just cross when you're not going to get run over and it's all good, lol. I loved it.

What really makes me mad are the ones who stand on the down escalator. Okay, I get that people want to rest on the up one, but wtf is with people standing there going down. It's not like it's tiring to walk down stairs. And it's so fucking slow. If you walk down you move so fast - why would anyone not walk down (barring disabilities)??? It makes no sense!!! And don't even get me started on the people who stand still on the moving sidewalks at the airport!

My guess is that, other than your usual lazy pieces of shit, people with bad lungs and cardiovascular health ride up, and people with bad knees ride down.

Like I said, barring disabilities. There is no way in hell that about 35% of everyone going down an escalator have bad knees, lol. In fact, the majority of those doing it seem to be younger people. They're just being lazy. I just don't get how even lazy people have the patience to wait that long to get down one flight.

No accountability. Integrity is reflected in how you act when (you think?) no one is watching. This takes the cake, in a way, because many users will make defiant eye-contact with us what-the-fuck?-ers when dumping.
Most of the time if there is room in front of me on an escalator, sidewalk or road I intend to move as quickly as possible. I hate walking as it bores the hell out of me unless it is hiking or sightseeing. Every once in a while though I will stand on an escalator and just take all in the experience of it.
