I am not talking here about world affairs, these are just some of the little things people do which I find annoying. Of course people could find some things I do irritating as well - I don't know, after all - no one is perfect.
(1) spitting in public.
(2) Impatiently honking the horn as soon as the traffic light turns green.
(3) Talking loudly on a cellphone in an otherwise quiet room.
(4) Slurping tea or soup.
(5) Trying to get to the head of a line with no consideration for those waiting patiently before your arrival.
(6) Chewing with an open mouth.
(7) Backbiting.- or Backstabbing
(8) Talking roughly to a junior employee in front of other staff members - because you're the boss.
(9) Feeling a strange touch while standing in a crowded subway train.
(10) Bandwagonist behavior
Feel free to add a few of yours.

I'll add to the list: People who stand too close. People who poke you when they are talking to you.

What does backbiting mean?
Most of the list you wrote applies to me as well.
Some things that annoying me..
- People who don't know the driving regulations. Right has a right away where left turners have to yield, but when you do go - the person making a left honks & gets angry because they don't know how to drive and think they're right!
- When you open the door for someone and they act like they're too good to say anything back at least a thanks. And I feel rude to walk out and slam the door to their face but nowadays it seems like I should just continue walking because people are rude
- people who litter especially if the trash can is right there
- people who open food packages in the market and don't pay for them
My list can go on & on

I agree with what you have written. I hate people who are snobs, angry all the time and those who criticize much too much among other things.

Oh, I m bothered by those who see everything in a negative light, and by those who want you to acknowledge (on Facebook, etc.) how beautiful their children are, how great their latest accomplishment is, etc., but don't acknowledge anything about you.

I do agree on all 10 @Kandae11 . #1 People dumping trash on the ground when they are standing right NEXT to a waste basket. #2 Leaving the shopping cart wherever they want to instead of putting it where it belongs.

@Kandae11 I usually give them a dirty look and say, "Did you drop something?" 98% of the time they will pick it up and put it in the trash.

You have almost covered things which could irritate us. There are some incorrigible souls who blow horns of their vehicles without any reason and there are others who park their vehicles in such a haphazard manner that others cannot move.

@Kandae11 Very true. Blowing horns adds to noise pollution and irritates us.

Right. Blowing horns for no reason is very annoying.

I agree, except for number 4, slurping tea or soup. Not that I do that, in america it is considered rude, but go to China, it is considered rude if you don't.. Just a little FYI in case you ever travel.

@Kandae11 Yes, it is. The slurping will let the hostess know you are enjoying the meal, the louder you are, the better.

I hate people talking loudly on cell phones when I am a captive audience. I once listened to a conversation (they had the phone on speaker so I heard both sides) about someone's dreadful operation, the blood, the guts, and the slime. Just what I want to hear while eating lunch in a restaurant.

Numbers 1, 3, 8 and 10 annoy me as well. Also, parents who tolerate their unruly children in public places.

those are unbecoming of a dignified person. it also shows that person doing those things are not trained at home by their parents. GMRC should always be stressed

Spiteful gossip mongers. I just dislike people who are up to no good...and even though they know they are destructive, they make it into a fine social art. Oh, you could add 'selfies'...although this is pretty harmless and non threatening to me. It galls me to see so 'vain' people in this world who really don't know how the 'value' of life...or the purpose either. Too much superfluous living life style.
