This originally started off what I hated about coworkers, but opened it up to anything. So add to this if you'd like. I was bored at work.
I hate it when...
...my coworker sucks air through her teeth
...my coworker talks on the phone to employees and says "yanno?" after every few words
...my coworker claps and rubs her hands together like a child getting a treat after ordering her lunch and mocha
...you work out expecting to lose weight, but end up gaining instead
...you've waiting in line at the DMV for hours only for them to close right before your number is called
...you keep friends on the loop of things, but they never return the favor
...you get a perm and smell that nasty crap for a month after, the smell lingering in your nostrils
...you don't get to say goodbye to a loved one
...I haven't have sex for a while (le cry)
...no one gets up to let the eldery sit down on the train
...someone gives you empty promises
...someone doesn't stop to get to know another person better just because of looks
...you buy an item out of the vending machine only to find it has expired

Nope, I typically get up when I see someone needs the seat more than I do. I've even gotten up to let a lady with a baby seat sit down, all the while trying to get the person sitting next to me to do the same so the baby seat had somewhere to go. She refused to get up, I got up and gave the lady with baby the one seat. :)
oh, and...
...I walk into the bathroom stall and there's pee all over the seat and floor.

I just close my eyes and pretend like i'm sleeping, or use the excuse of "i had my headphones on, and am oblivous to everything around me". Both work fairly well in NYC as everyone uses them.

I don't think I've ever had a seat to give up (never rode public transportation), but I do hold doors for people all the time. And then I get weird looks. And then I stare at my shoes as they walk by. And then I feel uncomfortable. Because I did something nice.
People suck.
Jorddyn, smiley and happy today

The few times I've ridden public transportation I don't even bother sitting down. I hold doors all the time. I don't stare at my shoes though I look back at the people and say you're welcome....even if they don't say thank you.

Agreed. Though, I typically do this for older folks and women or men with babies. I'll also say you're welcome when people don't return my kindness with a simple thank you. It's funny when they don't say it, but It won't stop me from doing what I was raised to do.

I hold doors open, and help women carry strollers up and down stairs. Do I get a cookie?
Also I usually am half asleep in the morning. On the ride home I'm usually tired. Of course most of the time its too crowded to sit, and I always wait to see if any women sit down first, and if they dont I will.

...I get my period. Though I did have a situation occurr where I didn't get it for quite awhile and had extensive uterin buildup, so I decided getting it monthly is the way to go rather than feeling an inch from paralyzing, ball curling cramps for 2 weeks.
...you work out looking to lose weight and gain FOR the Friggin WIN. My bodytype puts on extreme amounts of muscle (esp legs) for some reason and very quickly. It sucks. I just can't GET small.
...you're in a stock play that you bought at the top or sold short at the bottom. GRRRRRRRRRR.
...you code up a system, only to realize it's completely one-dimensional when you meant it to apply to several problems.
....you're so distracted trading that you lose an entire day (me today).

I reaallllly have to surpress the urge to confront the woman who just left the bathroom stall with the toilet splattered with piss. Like, "Excuse me? I'm not going to wipe up your piss. You come back here and do it."
I also have to try really hard not to shriek "Walk left, stand right! Walk left, stand right!" on escalators.

I really hate my boss. IE:owner's daughter, who shows up to work late on a regular basis and I get a nasty note for being a few minutes late once. Bitch.

...when people bump into you on the street and when you turn around to apologize, they aren't even looking at you or respond to your apology (even when it was their fault).
...when I go to work and see either my boss or my supervisor there, at any time. I like all the CEOs and everyone, but those two could fall off the face of the earth and I never hear or see them again and I would not be bothered in the least.
When people drive the speed limit in the left lane.

When people drive exactly the same speed as the person to their right while in the PASS PASS PASSING LANE. The lane is for PASSING, not HOVERING.

omg yes Tijay, and...
...when you're trying to make a turn and all approaching traffic SLOWS down in anticipation of you turning right in front of them like a reject. JUST GO! Goddamnit, don't make me wait longer than I have to!

... my upstairs neighbor lets her three adorable little children race rhinoceroses through the living room at 11:30 after she's yelled at me to turn down my music at 8:30.*

*This may not be what they're actually doing, but it is what it sounds like
People who won't get off their cell phones while they try to order food.
"I would like a OH NO HE DIDNT! coke and I CANT BELIEVE THAT make sure I WOULD TOTALLY HAVE KICKED HIS ASS that it doesn't have ice ALL OVER THE FREAKING ROAD"
People who talk REALLY LOUD on their cell phones.
People who answer their cell phones in class, in the movies, or any other public place that requires silence. I don't care if you're waiting for the call that your cat died. Walk the five steps outside and THEN pick up.

Seriously, back to the public transit seat deal. I don't know about anyone else, but I wait for a bus with open seats before I get on because standing on a 40 minute ride sucks ass.
Why the hell would I stand up for someone that walked onto a full bus knowing they'd have to stand? Why don't they do the reasonable thing and wait for the next fucking bus?

Ugh!!!!
I hate it when people use finger nail clippers in public, whether in their cubicle or on the train or in the restaurant.
I got so disgusted when a boyfriend pulled out the clippers in the restaurant we were at and clipped some nails.

That sound makes my teeth hurt.
I was sitting at a restaurant after having breakfast with my grandparents, and my grandpa pulled out the nail clippers. I cringed.
Luckily, he didn't clip his nails.
Instead, he used the pointy file thing to CLEAN HIS EARS.
Which brings me to...
... people who pay no attention to the fact that what they're doing is gross/disgusting/inappropriate/making other people uncomfortable.
Jorddyn, ew :puke:

But at the same time those who don't bother to silence their cell phone but wont answer it either and just let it ring on for the duration until their VM picks up and then letting their VM notification beep can be equally as nerve wracking.
I hate it when I'm friendly, helpful, talkative and polite, when I'm feeling none of these.
Sometimes I feel I should just say what I feel but I know it will upset people.
Nevermind. When I get home I RP a character who acts how I should act, through GS.

I hate it when..
people ask me for the truth, then are mad because they really expected me to lie.
people who know I don't like them try to talk to or interact with me.
people who are old enough to know better chew with their mouths open or make noise while eating.
people call my work and yell at me for something I have NO control over (I am JUST the answering service you assholes)
people think they are witty and/or funny, but no one else does.
people are inconsiderate of those around them for whatever reason, that's a big reason why being out in public sucks. Too many jackasses.
people let their kids (young or older) do whatever they want in public.
people in customer service positions treat you like shit. I work in a customer service related job, I know how you are supposed to treat people.. like you WANT then to STAY a customer.

Termed "smacking" in my parents' house, and I still have to yell at my cousin's children for it. It's repulsive.

you get pulled over and harrassed just because you have a nice car and are young. Oh and, you MUST be drug dealers since you were near some 'bad' apartments. (They are located on a major road with 9 lanes across. The cop thought we left those apartments, when we were actually just driving past on our way home from paying rent.)
