What grinds your gears
Bad manners. Individuals who are just plain rude and have no consideration for others.
Why would you not say 'Thank You' if someone held the door open for you?
Why would you not hold the door open if you knew someone was walking in right behind you?
It is not much effort, but a smile and simple 'Thank You' goes along way!

Ignorant!
Oh yea I understand that I do that myself with my van but 90% of the time it's people paying on they're normal cards chip and pin etc
Your instead of you're.
People in toilets who sit there waiting for everyone to clear off out before taking a dump. If I'm last out and there is a quiet person in a trap waiting to let one go, I open the exit door and let it close so it sounds like i've gone. Then once I hear the chap drop his guts, I purposely cough then walk out making sure whoever it is recognises my voice through my cough and therefore knows it's me.
People who envy my car one minute, then go on about mpg the next and how great modern diesels are and that I should get my car mapped for better economy. What the heck?
Horny girls who don't make noises when I pump them.
I can think of plenty more..

This is freak city, you need to get treatment for that
I've got another one, something that came up at work again today.
People that don't know how to work out measurements. I can understand if people struggle/cannot convert between imperial and metric measurements (I struggle a bit), but it's the people that can't even work out one type that **** me off.
An example, today somebody asks me about the sizes of blinds. She wanted a 2ft blind, so I explain it has the inches on the pack as I was helping somebody else, and she looked at me like I had two heads. Simply because she didn't know that 24 inches is 2ft.
I find it really difficult to be helpful in this situation as it is such a common query and for some reason it still surprises me how many people have a problem working in one measurement or another. Another person in an almost identical situation even replied that she only worked in feet. 

The same happens with metric, people seem to struggle with the whole 100cm is 1 metre.

So why use the Pay At Pump service at all if you still need to go in the store? Just use the normal queue and let those who don't need to **** about use the Pay At Pump.
Have you noticed how 'in vogue' this is right now.
You hear interviewees on telly say it all the time. It drives me apoplectic.
It's only 'come in' pretty much this year, IMO.
I think they do it to earn them some 'thinking time'. But it's (really) annoying-as.

Interviewees that ask themselves the questions when replying to a question. That and the overuse of the word like.
Now exercise is not for everyone, I understand that..
But i simply cannot understand why individuals are scared to train their legs like they train other muscles parts.. And then give it the biggen walking around the gym in their vest, snapback and sleeve tattoos.

So, like, I reckon this needs a BTTT, so I'm now like going to add like people (probably you...) who like so sit on their like foot brake at traffic lights like so like dazzling the driver behind with like their brake lights.
(Written so like modern yoofs can like understand it, innit?)
BBC newsreaders who say 'Brian, thank you'. Why not 'thank you Brian'?
Why am I grumpy? I don't work on Fridays and it's Christmas.

Plus it also guards against random handbrake failure, esp. when on an incline.
So you sit there behind them seriously 'blinded'? Are you sure? Brake lights aren't bright enough to '**** you off' IMO. Don't even think about it if I'm behind a car with its brake lights showing.

On my lessons, I was taught 'handbrake on, into neutral' when stationary for more than two seconds. I can see no reason to ignore that advice.
However, I agree it's a great idea to show brake lights (with your handbrake already on of course) to warn the traffic arriving behind you that you've stopped, as long as you get off them as soon as the car behind you has stopped too.
It's much worse at night incidentally. And I'm afraid you will think about it now and perhaps see what I mean.
Of course not using your handbrake means if the t**t arriving behind you rams you up the rear end, you'll almost certainly be shunted into the car you're behind as your foot slips off the brake pedal.

It was argued to me that if that braindead eejet was to hit you, you'll likely find the force drives your foot off the pedal, then you own car will be car moving somewhere (most likely forward but it could have knocked you sideways etc and most likely hitting something else.

Whenever I pull up behind someone with their brake lights on at traffic lights/junctions I make sure I give them plenty of room because they clearly can't drive properly

Every little helps.
