1. Being patronised (especially by someone whose personal sense of superiority is reliant upon their inferior intelligence - which seems to be the most common type unfortunately).
2. Social role conventions applied to individuals purely on the basis of their anatomy.
3. Babies & children and all that they entail (crooning as mentioned and also smells, slime, screaming, personal space invasion etc.).
4. Any form of injustice, however minor.
5. People who don't *think* (this is an umbrella peeve covering all manner of sub-peeves including a) people who conform mindlessly e.g. believing the contents of newspaper's like the UK's Daily Mail b) people who stop in the middle of the shop/pavement without checking that they're not getting in the way c) people who blindly inherit a religion, political position etc. without questioning the available options. d) people who complain about the high cost of food irrespective of whether the producer is getting a fair wage, but don't think twice about spending £££'s on unnecessary luxuries like TV's and stereo's. And on and on...)
AMEN. Especially the injustice. I want to throw things through a wall when something CAN be fair but people are too lazy or just, for some maddening reason (if there even IS a reason) that I will never understand, too unconcerned/malicious to MAKE IT RIGHT.
