For some reason big grammatical mistakes don't bother me, but small ones' do. Like when someone overuses commas or writes everything in lower case, I don't care. However, when someone uses "its" when it is supposed to be "it's," I lose sleep.
Catch that apostrophy?

The only time grammar is truely important is for business, school, and formal occasions. Other than that I agree that it isn't really necessary. It still gets on my nerves, but I don't have to yell at people about spelling a word wrong to feel good about myself.

People that eat crunchy food in front of me and then look at me as I am giving them the evil eye and say "what's wrong?"

I'm surprised nobody has said this one yet. I hate that one guy that sits in the movie theater and makes stupid comments the whole time and is really loud. Also the tall guy that decides to sit in front of a small child. Dirtbags. I used to be incredibly short and this always bugged me.

God, I can't even go to the movies anymore. I'm so short I can never see anything, and either I get seats by annoying old whispering ladies, crying babies, disruptive teens who throw candy, or people who make out.

duplicity.
people who want both sides of the coin to be up.
one minute they want it one way then the next the other, they want both answer to a one answer problem. they want yes and no to a yes OR no question. this tickes me off faster than just about anything else.
