I don’t drink coffee but it infuriates my wife if someone leaves a pod in the Keurig.
My FIL neatly places used K cups on the counter, directly above the drawer that has the trash can in it. Makes me want to scream.

This. People steal them. I ordered a beer last night at a pub, it came in a really nice, original glass. When I commented on it the waitress laughed and said those are the ones that get stolen the most.
. . .
They should charge more and let you keep the glass. That way it wouldn’t be stealing.
Coffee pot? At my work, we have individual packets to make coffee. And we have the gigantic industrial toilet paper rolls so they get changed by the cleaning staff. I don’t know which way they roll off the role because they’re inside the metal housing. At my house, option number two, underneath.
My peeve is that when we have a work lunch, they only have Coke or Diet Coke. No Diet Pepsi. Unfortunately facilities guy who would always have a Diet Pepsi for me has retired.
Conferences or early morning meetings that only have coffee and juice. Like why do you think you need 50 juices–apple, orange, grape. Adults still drink those? I’m not a coffee drinker. I just want a diet coke. I usually have to round the corner and purchase one.
Office politics.
Current Marketing and Communications leader/peer using linkedin to communicate with INTERNAL team memebers…
uh, why? Shitty attempt at an explanation was, oh I was using it for sales, and just sending a note…
And to answer the OP,
-
Folks that cruise along in the left lane, driving slower than the flow of traffic.
-
Folks that park in handicapped spots w/out having a permit. Laziness is not a handicap!

… and the other day… guy parked in a supermarket spot clearly reserved for pick-up of pre-orders. Grabs a shopping cart and proceeds into the store like a regular shopper. That’s not cool. (BMW driver, btw. Am sure he didn’t signal either :-).

I divorced my ex because he put empty beer cans in the sink. He did it for 22 years. I couldn’t take anymore.
(Obviously that’s just one of the reasons. Goddamn it— I have a whole long list of triggers! Oh boy! lol)
My wife closes every door in the house. I have not problem with closing the bedroom door at night, but during the day, it’s pointless and triggers me.
Dirty dishes, that can be put in the dishwasher, but are left in the sink. If you’re standing at the sink, the dishwasher is right there, maybe you have turn to your right and bend over slightly to put your dirty dish in the dishwasher.
This, all day long. My wife and kid are the offenders; my dog gets a pass because she doesn’t have opposable thumbs.
My peeve is law firms that charge $1000/hr for legal services and use the lousiest grade of TP imaginable.
You’re showing your retirement, counsellor 
I reviewed an engagement letter with Wilson Sonsini the other day - senior partner rates at $2400 now, apparently. Madness.
Mrs wimsey will bring a laundry basket from second floor to first floor, leave it right at bottom of stairs where you have to step over it. Then get snippy if I haven’t ferried it down to basement within 15 min. of her landing it in the most inconvenient spot imaginable.
She’s not unable to get it to the basement, as objectively evidenced by the fact that she got it from second floor to first. She just doesn’t want to do it. Which…fine, ok, chalk it up to being in a rush or idiosyncrasy or whatever. But don’t bitch me out when I don’t clean up your mess on the timeframe that you’d prefer.

Good grief!
I recently changed practice areas & have new billable hour rates, along with new billing standards. I would assume that if you’re billing more than $1,000 per hour, the firm must cut their bills a lot?

Amen. Plus…
the lazy, inconsiderate assholes who think nothing of parking right in front of the store IN THE FIRE LANE, blocking half of the 2-lane in/out entrance street while they wait for their perfectly ambulatory passenger to go in and do whatever they’re doing
people who creep along the on ramp at 35 mph when they’re merging onto a 6-lane divided highway where traffic in the right lane is doing 60 mph
people who decide that the middle of the road is a perfectly fine place to stop moving while they get their bearings

I would not make that assumption across the board.
I never really understood the purpose of putting some squiggle scrawl on the bill.
Speaking of triggers, I always draw dicks (with a few pubes out of the balls) on the electronic signing blocks. Drives my wife absolutely nuts…she’ll walk out of Home Depot like she doesn’t know me.
I have no idea what the response to this should be, but this post needed some kind of recognition.
I have to go to HD later today, I’m going to try this.
Personally, I prefer the third option to the second. It may be lazy, but it’s honest.
Whenever I get to the last square or two of toilet paper I leave it on the roll and put a fresh roll on top so my wife doesn’t have to bend down to get a new roll. Or I have been known to pull the last couple squares off the current roll and place them nicely on top of a new roll.
What with this terrible economy, can’t afford to waste a single square!!
Personally, I prefer the third option to the second. It may be lazy, but it’s honest.
My wife introduced me to this option and we’ve never gone back. Honestly I’m surprised we don’t see commercially sold vertical roll holders for TP as we do with paper towels. It only makes sense.
Come to think of it, I may install a wall mounted vertical paper towel holder in the bathroom. Holds at least two rolls at once.
But will the roll come of the right side or the left side?

Yep.
Folks who litter out of their cars.
Folks who are looking at their phones while driving.
Peckerheads who fail to return their carts to the corral.
People who don’t pick up after their dog.
And as far as toilet paper:

That’s the beauty of my design. You can have both.
The flip side of this question is what I do to avoid triggering others. When driving, I try to avoid using my horn at all costs. That’s a huge trigger for a lot of drivers. About the only time I use the horn is if someone is changing lanes into me because they don’t see me.
