Sell Broadway tickets to the masses (ie:group sales) Actually, I don't sell too much, but more I keep the office running smooth (or as smoothly as possible, considering it is a staff of headless chickens around here)
Another peeve... tourist families who stroll down 7th Ave at rush hour in Times Square as if they were the only ones on the street, and then out of nowhere, they stop short in the middle of all the chaos to "look up at the pretty buildings in the sky"

tardiness . nothing pisses me off more than lateness..
I take pride on being a very punctual person. It's gotten to be an OCD of mine, actually... as I know exactly how long it takes to get places to the minute and I leave accordingly... What I hate the most is when people don't respect my desire to be punctual and keep me later than I say I can stay by continuing conversation and whatnot. I hate being late.

LOL so many!!
Lateness is a huge one for me also.
People who are rude, or who have no manners and inconsiderate people.
People who speak with bad grammar - some of the people I work with (who have degrees!) have the worst grammar I have ever come across.
People who eat with their mouths open, or talk while they have a mouthful of food.
I have many driving pet peeves - people talking on their cell phone who are obviously not capable of multi tasking.
People who change lanes without looking or signaling - living in Nashville, I almost have accidents every day going to and from work because of this idiotic action.
People who won't let others merge on the interstate.
People who don't seem to notice their lane ends and they need to merge until they run out of road - how can you not notice that?!!
People who drive in the left lane and have no concept of the speed limit or that other people are on the road behind them.
I have sooo many more but that was all i could think of right now

There is this lady I work with that says "mmm hmmm" every 3 seconds when you are explaining something to her. It is very distracting and I lose focus on what I'm saying because she keeps making that noise when she's trying to understand something.

Just happened... when people are sitting in a public courtyard eating their lunch and they leave with their nasty leftovers still on the table (always, but especially) when the table is right next to a freakin' garbage

Those driving peeves....me too...yes! I have infinite patience (teacher), and YET! i can get instantly irate with someone driving that practically brakes to a full stop to make a turn..without a signal. If it rains? Forget it.
oh btw...who cuts their effing fingernails at work? Good lawd!

My best friend (who I work with) sits in her office and does her nails - which includes clipping her toe nails Luckily she has her own office so no one has to really see or hear it.

people who blow their nose at the dinner table
people who leave their cart right in the middle of the aisle at the grocery store
people who think it's cute when their children run all over the place and act completely unruly -especially in nice restaurants. in the park or another appropriate place it CAN be cute, but i don't need a kid darting under my table when i'm trying to enjoy my dinner... teach them manners for cripes sake!
people who drive slowly in the fast/passing lane (i'll never understand that)
people who don't order dessert because they're "absolutely stuffed" and "can't eat another bite"... then proceed to eat the majority of MY dessert when it comes to the table, especially without asking
People who over-thank me for simply doing my job, it takes all the power away from when a real thank you is called for
Ohhh! That is my boss to a T! She thanks me for EVERYTHING! Don't thank me for doing my job! Why do I have to say "You are welcome" for doing my job?? I hate that!! I mean, being polite is one thing, being OBSSESIVELY polite is ANNOYING AS HELL! "Thank you for working this weekend in support of your project....thank you for staying late to finish that report....thank you for going to get lunch today, it was delicious..." It was delicious??? Like I MADE the salad??? Uhhhh....glad you liked it.... ??? wtf do you say to that???
whispering sends chills up my spine, hunting shows are the worst.
also, i hate seing a child covered in popsicle juice or anything sticky. and i would rather have both my jewels fed to me than be covered in anything sticky myself. *shiver* If Jessica Beil was laying on a bed naked covered in popsicle juice and asked me to join her...well i'd try but i dont think i could.
