Not sure why my post did not show, so I will give it one more try. 

My pet peeve is more sports related.  It absolutely drives me up a wall when talking to somebody or reading somebody post saying "we" when talking about their favorite sports team.  I usually respond with, let me go take a look at the roster and see if your name is on it.  LOL.  I then say "them" or "they" as to say you are not part of the team, but simply a fan with absolutely no input on anything team related.  LOL.  Most get mad and walk away, but it is one of many of my pet peeves.  LOL
I am seriously annoyed by sportscasters who say everything in the present tense.

How about sports fans who think they could make better GMs? They always think they could trade their team's bad players and get other team's good players in return.
Don't let the bastards cheer you up.

That's how a Browns fan has to be!! They pretty much trade QB's like no one else and then fail miserably!! LOL! Die Hard Browns fan because I love a great loser.

I was about to say "littering" but I actually believe littering is too grave a sin to be considered merely a pet peeve. So I will say engineers who think they know it all. Which pretty much includes all engineers, most of whom don't know very much except about their specific field of engineering.

People on social media who post pictures of beer in dirty glasses (clinging bubble/nucleation points)--I cringe every time and have a hard time resisting pointing it out.

Passing lane "cruisers".. Some people just have it in their head that they belong in the left lane. Then you have the few who are driving correctly, and you can't pass in the right lane either!  :-X

The only difference between those cars and porcupines is that with porcupines the pricks are on the outside.

That joke is so old.

I drive one of the brands listed above, and I use my turn signals.

Edit.

A very old joke. "If you lined up all the cars in the world, someone in a VW would pull out to pass". This was back when most VWs were the original Beetle, which didn't have much horsepower.
