Things that annoy you

I taught an adult ESL class a few years back and a topic I really liked was "things that annoy you."

It was usually a fun class and people never ran out of things to say.

I'll start.

- People chewing food loudly on the train (or in other close vicinity)

- Being charged 300% up in price on drinks at resturants (drinks are actually VERY cheap for food services and they put in like 40% ice).

- Misunderstanding words in my second language I know well.

- Advertising anywhere except TV. (I guess I am just used to it on TV my whole life. I find it annoying in most other places).
