I'm afraid I'm guilty of the petrol station thing. 
Well, I'm only a short-****, and I have trouble getting the bleedin' pump into the filler, even when it's on the right side, because it's so heavy and unwieldy (see my thread from a few months back re 'why don't they make pumps that fit girly hands').
So........I would like to take this opportunity to apologise!

Waits until i have filled both my hands man-stylee with 12 carrierbags of shopping from the boot, and asks me to unlock the front door as her keys are in her bag.
boils the kettle to make tea, lets it cool too much, boils it again, lets it cool too much and finally boils it again.

gets in the car and shuts the door too gently resulting in a secondary slam, or perhaps a second gentle and a third slam.
scratches my dashboard with her bags and ****.
slams the boot and then says ouch.
moves my stuff (ipod, wallet, watch, keys etc)

) who park their car with the car a mile away from the pump, so nobbody can drive past to use a pump infront that subsequently becomes free 
Tip: park as close to pump as possible and pull at far forward as possible so the filler is inline with the pump, if its on the wrong side, pull further forward so the nozzle on the pump is level with the back bumper so the hose can pass around the rear of the car (or over the boot if its a hose that passes overhead).
The amount of times I see people stop with the pump level with the front winscreen is unebeliveable, and they wonder why they struggle getting the nozzle to the filler.

My DAB radio. It's set to wake me up in the week, with the alarm volume at number five (quite loud). If I want to go to sleep listening to it the night before, I like it at number one (very quiet) and it turns off after fifteen minutes. Unless I go through the whole rigmarole of scrolling through the wake-up settings (without altering anything) the alarm goes off in the morning at the same volume as the sleep setting. WHY!? WHY!? WHY!?

What are the little things that really **** you off?
Just been to the gents at work for a slash, the sinks in there are set into a work top type affair and every so often some **** manages to cover the whole thing in water, **** knows how. Anyway I don't notice, lean against the top while washing my hands, and get a wet line across each trouser leg. Not the end of the world I know but makes me
So what things make you

People who STOP whilst driving up a hill, covered in ice, causing the car behind to stop (me)
People who then get out of their cars while stranded by the lead car stopping on a hill covered in ice, and talking to each other through their open doors, blocking the other direction causing, yes.... cars to stop on a hill covered in ice. AAARRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Cheers for reminding me
Women People ( men do it too ) who park their car with the car a mile away from the pump, so nobbody can drive past to use a pump infront that subsequently becomes free
Tip: park as close to pump as possible and pull at far forward as possible so the filler is inline with the pump, if its on the wrong side, pull further forward so the nozzle on the pump is level with the back bumper so the hose can pass around the rear of the car (or over the boot if its a hose that passes overhead).

I do the close to/far forward bit.........to the point where I couldn't get out of the car once, because when they refurbished our local Shell garage, they'd put a low wall right next to the pump! Anyone who uses the Shell Garage at Apsley, Herts will know what I mean).
Oh, and I forgot to add......I don't stretch it around the back, because I'm not scratching my paintwork for any bugger!
