People trying to be too nice, when it just makes stuff more complicated. The following situation:
One of my daughters takes dancing lessons with two of her friends. All dads work, so the moms take turns, with one mom driving the kids to the weekly sessions. Now I was on vacation, picking my daughter up from kindergarden. Meeting the two moms of her friends. They had stuff to do later, so my wife told them before that I'll drive the kids. I tried to organize with them how to pick their kids up. Both live nearby, I could pick both kids up inside of 10min. No issue at all. Conversation goes like this:
Me: "Ok so I'll pick them up later, is 3pm ok?"
Mom1: "Thank you very much! But you really don't have to pick both up independetly, we can meet in one location".
Me: "It's a thing of like 10min, it's not a big deal at all, I'll just pick them up at your places."
Mom2: "I can walk with my daughter to Mom1, that makes it easier for you."
Me: "You really don't need to do it, I'm on vacation and it's a drive of three minutes between you two."
Mom1: "We can even come to the main road to save time."
Me: "It's 30sec with the car from the main road to your house. No need for you to come to the main road."
Mom2: "But it would make it easier for you to pick up both at the main road, so we can walk to Mom1 and meet at the main road."
Me: "It's a ten minute walk from you to the main road at Mom1. Again, the easiest and quickest way to do it is that I simply pick them up at your places, It really isn't causing any inconvenience for me."
Mom1: "I can also go for a little walk with my daughter and we meet at Mom2's house."
At this point, I'm just totally confused. Both are trying to beat each other out regarding their kindness. I'm standing there like:
I ended this "conversation" with:
"Ok I have to leave now, let's not make it more complicated than it needs to be: I pick your kid up at 3pm and your kid 5 min after that, see you later."

People who aren't closing bottles properly. Like a bottle of juice is on the table, after pouring some in their glass, only gently laying the cap on top of the bottle. Or doing it with milk. So it's basically open. Just because you're too lazy to turn that fucking cap.
Especially GREAT combo with the first one I've mentioned here, placing shit on edges of surfaces.

Reversing in is safer than reversing out. They teach us to do this on mining/construction sites.
My neighbor's SUV is now covering 75% of the sidewalk. I do not live on a mining/construction site, so I'm not sure how appropriate his choice to back into his spot was.

People wanting to meet with me but not know how to use a calendar scheduler. My calendar is up to date stop trying to double book me mother fucker.
People getting emails weeks ago and waiting til the day it's due to ask for help. I will help you easier if you give me time to balance all the other shit out. Get your shit together you lazy fucking directors!

I mean if you do it wrong and park outside the lines it kinda defeats the purpose. And the safety of it isn't limited to work sites. It's a general principle that you can apply to a grocery store carpark. With reversing cameras standard nowadays it doesn't matter as much, but before them it was far safer to reverse into a vacant space that you know nothing can drive out of than a lane in which there are more variables.
Unlimited shit at work to get pissed off. Especially in my current company, where people are generally very scared. Leads to pretty unpleasant situations.
I was very excited that I got that new job and still am excited but am sitting at my old job till end of the year before I can start the new one. You know, notice period and stuff.

- Fuckers coming onto the parking lot and driving 1mph looking for the first empty space when everyone can clearly see that half of the lot is empty about 50 feet away.
- People giggling after every single fucking sentence. True hell when two people like that meet.
- People doing fuck all at work and then having the audacity to ask you for help with the most menial shit like "can you get those papers from the copy machine for me" "can you close the door" "can you move that table" :E
- People looking for praise by pretending to be humble *makes something really high quality* "uuuh, I this is my first try, do you think this is ok?" *everyone is like: wooow; amazing; best shit ever; no way, you are a genius!" and I ask "You never did this before, really?" to which the person replies "well...not really...I have been doing it for 15 years but I am still new to this :3 meow" Fuck off, retard!
- People borrowing something and then handing it over to you directly when they are finished. Like when someone borrows a book or a tool from a shelve or something but after they are done they come over to you and put it in front of you or extend their hand and say "here". Fuck off, retard, put it back where you took it from!
- People who are absolutely unwilling to compromise on anything or spend any extra of their time. Example, people tell you they want to play a tabletop game but: never come to you (you always have to come to them), never help you setup, never help you cleanup and never want to read the rules, you have to explain it to them at which point they always cry "I only lost because you didn't tell me ALL the rules." They want to watch a movie, but only if you bring it over to them. They want to play videogames but only the game THEY want. And then after weeks and weeks of playing that one game you ask them if they would like to play a game with you they are like "uuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh ok" and after 30 minutes or an hour they are like "oof, I am so tired, I am sweating everywhere, I can't play anymore, too exhausting. I'm going back to my game, cya :3 meow" Then I can see the person is still playing that one game till 3am at which point I just go to sleep so they might be playing till forever. Fuck off, retards!
Nah, it's just that they throw that cute innocent face, giggle a bit and pretend they are saints.
Just had an encounter that drove me nuts. Father of a friend of mine. No respect for personal space at all. Oh man do I hate people feeling the need to come so very close. Like, at one point, I had enough and told him.
"You just stay here *pointing at the ground* , I'll stand here, and I'll still be able to hear you. This way we can avoid you standing on my toes."
Made him feel uncomfortable but I don't care.
