Re: Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.
When someone gets a phone call and no one is on the other end for whatever reason, and they say that unnecessary angry "hello" at the end.
(ring ring)
"Hello?"
(no answer)
"Hello?"
(no answer)
"HELLOOO!!!!    "

People who don't like corn on the cob.
Also people who don't sign their posts so that you can't tell who just posted.

One of my direct reports did this always and it killed me. An escalating series of "hello", with the last few yelled into the phone. Did you really think the problem was that you weren't loud enough?

I would call that guy and wait for the third hello to respond every time.

These posts remind me of Carlin's "people who drive faster/slower than you" joke. Though these are far less defensible obv.

Re: Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.
people that drive with their ****ing animals
it's always some goddamn woman from 18-99 who has their stupid small dog on their lap and it just angers me. it doesn't help they always suck at driving to begin with.
"hey if I get into an accident my dog just running around will be totally fine and not smash into the windshield breaking my neck or other passengers in the car's neck"
guys who have their dogs in the bed of their truck is bothersome but whatever - they aren't on their ****ing lap or gonna break my neck

My dad does this. You can tell after the first hello that there's nobody on the line, so the series of increasingly loud hellos before he hangs up is totally predictable. Another thing he does which is similar is he'll stay on the line way too long with telemarketers. He's not buying anything, but he will patiently answer their asinine questions despite having no interest in what they're selling, and as long as they keep talking he can't hang up. His standards of phone etiquette with telemarketers are no different from his standards with anyone else. Or maybe he's just slow to pick up on the fact that he's getting a sales pitch, I'm not sure.

Re: Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.
PM his number and I'll call and fail to respond until he lets out three hellos, then I'll give him some BS sales pitch and see how long I can keep him on. Then I'll be like "EvilSteve says hi" "Who?" "EvilSteve" "Who?" "Your son" click.
