People standing immediately behind me at a store checkout when I'm paying, especially when it is clearly marked that they should wait in line until it is their turn. I'm usually tempted to ask them if I'm crowding them Perhaps an SBD would get them to respect your space

Loud, obnoxious people who think it's okay to say whatever feel like and to anybody. No filters. People who won't take no for an answer and are completely insensitive to the fact that the other person might be having a hard day. Yes, tact is important, but I also feel there are times when something needs to said, because someone may need to hear it.
It must be because you are irresistible Mr. D and people don't want to hear NO.
I know I am projecting here. I just recently had this type of encounter with this guy I was tutoring. He ended up wanting me to write his paper for him and he just kept on bugging me about it until I finally had to say exactly that... NO!!! And I hate that kind of confrontation, but the sense that he was likely taking advantage of me and even kind of getting off on it REALLY pissed me off... So I think that was where I was coming from when I posted that.

People who hold onto things that have zero use just because their money paid for it
There's an old crt tv in the hallway that was purchased in 1999 by my roommate's son
It has no use. We all want it out of here. We're constantly bumping into it, hurting ourselves. Its too heavy for anyone but him to lift.
But he won't let us get rid of it because it cost him 300 dollars in 1999. He doesn't even want the tv but he doesn't want anyone else to have it either because his money paid for it
He feels like if he never bought it in the first place, then he could have had that 300 dollars right now in 2019 knowing damn well if he never bought the tv, he would have spent that 300 dollars on something else

He purposely buys his toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant at Dollar Tree to be cheap in California, Dollar Tree has a competition called '99 cents only'. he told me that if 99 cents only was here in Pennsylvania, he'd go there instead of Dollar tree just to save 3 cents on those 3 items

When the driver in front of me at a red light stops their car so far back from the next car and then spends the duration of the red light inching up to the next car.

Rude and obnoxious people who come up and interrupt me when I am talking to someone else. I don't do it to anyone so why in the fuck do they do this to me? Am I wearing a sign that says, "Please interrupt me. I love it!" Why can't these rude fuckers be patient and wait their turn? Next time it happens, I will be assertive and tell them about it. Some people never stop talking, and so sometimes there's no choice but to interrupt them. Not that I'm saying you're one of those people or anything...

Then there's the road. Being stuck behind a slow driver, bonus if they proceed to speed up when I try to get in front of them. Conversely, being tailgated when the passing lane is wide open. People who block an entrance or intersection. Riding shotgun with a girl who takes 5 hours to work up the courage to change lanes. Etc. I'm pretty forgiving in traffic, but there are two things I wish people would stop doing at red lights. 1) Jumping into the empty right lane while going straight through. That prevents anyone from turning right on red, and there are some really long lights in my area. 2) Pulling up too far, blocking the view of cross traffic for anyone turning right on red.

A couple things with elevator etiquette.
People who don't understand that if they are waiting for the elevator, when the doors open they need to wait for the people in the elevator to walk out before entering. It happened to me once where I was the only person in the elevator when it reached ground level where I would be getting out. And this lady who was entertaining a small group of people just barged straight in the second the doors opened up. And the small group she was leading just followed. And it's not like I was glued to my phone and didn't make an effort to move. And unless I was just riding up and down for fun, there would be no reason for me to have been in the elevator and not getting out at ground level. I clearly gave them a disappointed look and shook my head as I was making a pained effort to exit. I think most of the group understood, but the lady leading the show was too busy babbling to notice.
Now whenever I sense anyone is not going to expect to let the previous rider (me) exit first, I mow them down. I do get a lot of people who are waiting for the elevator and are standing right at the place where the doors open and immediately step forward. They are the ones who get plowed into. They were in the way, not me.
And what is with this move? Say you're standing there waiting for the elevator, and you want to go up - so you already pressed the up arrow button, and it is obviously lit up. Then someone else joins you who is also going up. Then they press the up button with a sense of purpose. Like they are going to make the elevator arrive, and whatever you did to make the button lit up, it wasn't done correctly. It would be going overboard - more than mowing people down - for me to then after the person pressed the already lit button, for me to start pressing it over and over really hard. Who knows? I just might.

When someone tells me, "I told you" or "I told you so".
Case in point:
On the phone with a client who orders for 2 different departments. It wasn't specified which department he was ordering for. So, I ask because I want to ensure he's getting the correct product:
He started off by saying, "I told you...."
First time, I let it go - explaining I just wanted to ensure I'm ordering for the correct department. The next time, he did the same thing. "I told you...."
I quickly intervene, and say, "No, you didn't."
The first couple of times I talked with him, I thought he had it out for me (for some reason). Then, I found out later - it's not just me.

Agreed, along with those who think they know everything about everything. In actuality, they know nothing. This attributes to one person I encounter at the hockey games.
I usually wear an obscure hockey jersey to the games. Gets a few people staring...likely thinking....what the hell team is that? LOL This guy walks up to me, and comments that it's a waste of money, and what am I doing spending money on stuff like this.
Hey - it's MY money, and if I want to spend it on frivolous things like this, I will! **** off!
(I was thinking the last part, but I didn't say it.)
At a subsequent game, I was wearing a Max Jones jersey. He now plays for the Anaheim Ducks. He comes up to me, saying Jones is trash and is playing ECHL (2 steps below the NHL).
This was totally coincidental, but that night, who scored his first NHL goal?
Then, at the one intermission, he chirped one of my friends who was wearing a Steve Mason jersey. Well...Mason only rattled off close to 200 wins in the NHL.
I guess it was a matter of "What have you done for me lately?" with that guy.

People can get really obnoxious when it comes to their beloved, precious sport team. I have no patience with these people. I live in Chicago and if I happen to get on the train and the Cubs are playing or if the game is over, the cars are rife with loud, drunk jerks. And God help you if their stupid team lost, because they become total assholes. I don't give two hoots for sports, anyway, but when you have to be around people who do care, violently, it is just too much. They should all be given 100 dollar citations for noise pollution.
