I didn't want to hijack @artbee's post, so I thought I'd spinoff to what bothers you in public.
What bothers me is when people use their phones or tablets without headphones in public. Last week, there was a guy at breakfast (in a restaurant) facetiming his family and he had his phone on speaker. OMG I was thisclose to saying something to him!!!! No one wants to hear your conversation, your game or whatever you're doing on your phone or tablet except you.

I am not a fan of clipping fingers on the subway or bus.

@mrbee: @mediagirl: Eww. What's wrong with people? I don't even love doing that in front of my husband! (but i do anyway....)
I love to ease drop so I usually don't mind when people are on their phones and I can hear them. Especially if the conversation is particularly juicy.

I dont like when people play music using their phones speakers. I also cant stand loud phone conversations especially when the person seems to having an argument and is cursing and yelling.

I also am not a fan of people listening to music super super loudly wearing headphones... especially when they start singing or rapping along.
Mostly I am just sad for their ears. And if they are a bad singer, for mine too.

I greatly dislike when people pick. I hate picking. My DH does it all the time and it annoys the heck out of me!

People that talk on their phones so loud that everyone can hear them annoys me. Yesterday, I was in line at the bank and this chick was talking to someone on the phone way too loud about how she was in jail the day before and had to pawn her car title to pay back people she owed money to. Yeahhhh...

@mrbee: Yes, I hate the nail clipping, too.
I also don't like to see women plucking their eyebrows or doing their make-up on the subway or train.
People who play cellphone games or music with the volume high. People who have extremely private conversations via cellphone while talking very loudly.

People who pick their toes and teeth bug me!

@autumnlove: Where do you see people picking their toes?!

@mrbee: My boss used to clip his nails in his office. Everyone in the office could hear it... My office was 20 feet away

People who put make up on in public or in their cars. Nose picking.

I don't like it when people use cell phones in public unless they've stopped and gotten out of everyone's way. I'm old fashioned though and don't like cell phones to begin with and think all calls should be made at home.

I too hate the loud phone conversations.
I get really annoyed/upset when I see a couple--or worse, a family with kids--out to dinner and instead of talking they're all on their phones/iPods/iPads/whatever. Once my husband and I saw a family of three out at a nice restaurant, and the husband was on an iPhone, the son was playing a Nintendo DS or something, and the mom was just sitting there in silence. Awful! People are way too into their devices.

@mrbee: I saw it the other day when we were dining in the patio area of a local restaurant.. A guy was waiting for his food and he was reading a newspaper and picking his toes!

Oh, loud music is the worst on public transportation. I run into that a lot on airplanes and make sure to keep my noise reducing headphones with me at all times. You can sometimes just hear the boom, chicka chicka chicka chicka boom.... and it goes on....

I had that same boss. Clipping his nails at his desk. Ew!
My pet peeve is people wearing pajamas in public. What's so hard about putting legitimate pants on?

I hate seeing people full on PDA in public. Seriously, gross and immature.
It also annoys me when people wear PJ’s in public – like @Oliviaoblivia said, is it that hard to put on real clothes? Just looks so lazy and scrubby.
People who ignore their kids having full on meltdowns, or otherwise being bratty. You know they can hear their kid, just like everyone else in the store can.
People who don’t use their blinkers and just stop in the middle of the street when they need to turn.
