Rudeness/ bad manners/ inconsiderate behaviour I think just about covers it.

Oh and people who will argue for the sake of arguing despite the facts proving them wrong!

just when you are about to sit down and the door bell goes and its a door to door sales man trying to offer something you dont really need i hate it when that happens

Plenty of things, including the majority of the things previously listed here.

And as an addition to "People in queues who insist on standing right on top of you", in particular, people in queues who insist on standing right on top of you, and have really bad BO - or a particularly smelly dog with them.

And retired people who go to banks / the post office / Marks and Spencers (at the latter they invariably buy a ready meal, one banana, and a cake) between the hours of 12 and 2pm which are the only times between which I can take my lunch break at work - whereas they could go at quieter periods of day (morning / afternoon) when I would prefer to go but don't have that option.

People saying "I was sat" instead of "I was sitting". Having said that, I'm a lot more relaxed with this than I used to be.

And why do teenagers reppppeattt letterrrs in worddsss without any evident logic to it? I could understand perhaps, typing "haaaaappy biiiirthdaaay" to demonstrate drawing out certain syllables in pronunciation but the apparently random repetition is beyond me.

And someone's said text speak already?

Good point. There's a miserable hag at my nearest supermarket who has a facial expression of constant constipation. She doesn't say please, thank you and practically throws your groceries in a bag, then chucks your change at you. A letter to her manager has been sent

Over here a lot of Kiwi's say 'woman' as the plural of 'woman' instead of 'women' that gets on my tits. They also don't pronounce known correctly instead they pronounce it 'no-wen' That gets on my tits when the woman thing isn't on my tits.

When some arsehole decides to shred an important document for no apparent reason.

Dirty, lazy customers. They come into our restaurant at busy times and bleat at us because the table they have chosen to sit at (that has just that second been vacated) still has the previous customer's rubbish on it. Though it's not our rubbish and we haven't had time to get to it. They bleat at us then have the cheek to leave their own rubbish at the table and on the floor. We have SEVEN bins on the floor for heaven's sake. They're not a million miles away from the table and it's not rocket science to put your waste in the bin.

I somehow forgot to mention when people from other countries insist on calling the UK "England". Scotland, Wales and Ireland exist too y'know.
On a similar theme, bands missing out Scotland on their so called "UK tour" or only doing one date in London. Much as I love London, I can neither afford nor get the time off work to keep flying down there for gigs.

Completely agree with those who mentioned impoliteness. It's amazing how many people act surprised when I say please & thank you or hold open doors for them etc. Good manners seem to be rare these days.

It amuses me how older people tend to criticise the younger generations about manners and rudeness, when in my experience older people are far ruder and impolite.

Other motorists when you give way to them and they don't bother to thank or acknowledge you ... no, don't mind me... I haven't got anything to do with my day, I'm just sitting here waiting for you, you know, for fun.
