People who park in the loading zone at Lowes and go in and shop.
I sometimes drag the sign that says "no parking in the loading zone" and is encased in cement in a bucket over to their vehicle and put it right by the door so they have to move it to get in!!
i find people whistling in public the most obnoxious thing ever. for some reason, this is somewhat acceptable. would walking around all day singing in public be acceptable? no. but for some reason, nobody but me ever seems annoyed by constant whistlers.
Nothing. It's not worth it.
Inconsiderate walkers. I'm talking about groups of ~10 people who crawl along at the slowest shuffle imaginable having ridiculously loud conversations, all walking next to each other to take up even the most accommodating of sidewalks. Then, when you try to go around them, the males in the group stare you down as if your walking speed (which is still slower than average but much faster comparatively) is some kind of challenge to a duel to the death.
In a similar vein, people who have conversations in doorways, at the intersections of hallways, in front of doors, or in any other traffic jam causing place, then glare at you when you said "Excuse me" as politely as possible while stifling the urge to break into a spontaneous rant.
Those are the two inconsequential vagaries that boil my blood. I feel better now.

What's wrong with walking around and singing?
social/conversational stigmas
loud noises. I can't handle them. Music almost never sounds better much past an audible volume. It just starts to hurt (and cause permanent hearing damage at some levels).
The fact that my family bought me running shorts past the knees after 10+ years of living with me as a runner.
Car inspections

Actual inconsequential things:
Anyone who thinks it's their job to tell other people how to live their life.
This feels more than inconsequential for me. possibly the most annoying facet of human interaction
Snooki...doesn't this troll/pig of a whore realize who she is....I mean really who in the hell could do this pig? 4'5" and 165 lbs, this bitch is as wide as she is tall.
Chicks wearing heels. 5 ft chicks want to be 5'4 and 5'4 chicks want to be 5'8 and so on, so on and so on. They take off their heels around the office and they have 5 inches of extra pant length that they trip around on all day. Do they really think that by adding 4-5 inches of height is going to mask their cargo ship hips. 22 waist and 42 inch hips.
Chicks who wear heels with really ugly feet and toes
Gunts on chicks.
Chicks who think by wearing black that this is going to conceal their gunts and fat asses
Hunters who pay $25,000 to kill a trophy buck. These monster bucks are standing next to a feeder that they get fed from everyday for years. These douchbags take a golfcart to a area overlooking the feeder and "hunt" for 5 minutes until a buck comes to feed.
The Kardashian chicks. Yes, I would bang Kim (long time) but who the hell is she and what has she done except show cleavage

I hate it when some car coming from a side street will do the rolling stop at the stop sign or signal, obviously in a hurry to get in front of me, and then drive slow once they're there.
Or the drivers who go 5 mph below the speed limit, then bust ass to get through a yellow leaving everyone else to wait.
Also drivers who roll through right on reds.
The deletion of interesting threads from Letsrun.
I do a lot of walking in Manhattan, it's insanely crowded already, but people do a lot of stupid, inconsiderate things to make it worse:
-Walking 3 or 4 abreast forcing on-comers out of the way
-Standing in doorways, blocking entrance or exit
-Standing and gathering at the bottom of stairs or escalators so that you can not move
-Standing in the middle of escalators like it is a ride at Disneyworld, allowing nobody to pass
-Standing, riding airport or subway peoplemovers like it is a ride
-Standing in the middle of sidewalks eating sandwiches, reading maps, or just talking and blocking the sidewalk
-Delivery people riding bikes down the sidewalk (this is actually terrifying)
-People standing almost in the middle of a cross-street playing chicken with cabs and cars even though the cars have the light, many bolt across and force cars to jam on their brakes
I have a terribly short temper, so my list is long.
-My list of running annoyances: runners showing up to races other than ultramarathons with fuel belts, slow runners trying to stand at the front of the starting line, non runners at races that sprint out the first 400m, water stops in 5k races (really!), people yelling comments while running ( particularly anything to do with Forrest gump or my shorts), drivers that dont make room for me on a large light traffic road.
- Texting shortcuts (i.e. idk, h/o, wtf). I would much rather have proper English written. And I hear kids now actually use these when doing school work!
-Chewing noises or with mouths open. Just drives me nuts.
- indecisive people.
- rubber necks slowing traffic.
-Black kids that think thier only road to success lies in hip hop, basketball or football.
-Reality "stars". No talent or anything to offer, yet they make big money.
- People that watch Reality television...really this passes as entertainment now?
-slow walkers and drivers
-Stupid and ignorant people in general. Mostly those that speak of things they know nothing about and people that don't assess whole situations before assuming.
- People who try to relate to running or talk to me about running that know nothing about it. I try not to tell people I run to a oid this.
- people that complain about things thay have control over.
-Bad Parents that complain about thier kids; don't have them if you don't want them!
- People that take advantage of Government help programs Like welfare, social security. There wouldn't be so many problems with these programs if there were stricter regulations.
-People that vote for a candidate, but can't name any of their political stances.
-Lazy people..
-Talking on the phone or texting about serious issues. Often times each person will take offense to something said even though they didn't mean it in " that " way. I find face to face conversations where you can see peoples expressions when thay talk more useful.
What the hell is a "gunt?"
- Chain smokers on the sidewalk (Hong Kong)
- People trying to talk to me when I have my iPod in. I'm listening to music because I don't want to talk to you.
- The 14-20 crowd that refuses to look up from their cell phone. The cell phone has become some sort of social crutch where if you're by yourself you gotta start texting up a storm. It's like someone going into a place and needing to smoke because they're alone. Just stop already!
- Commercials.
- When youtube takes forever to load a clip.
- When people make me look up youtube videos to watch ... then I have to watch the video so they can see my reaction. I refuse to be shown "viral" videos anymore.
- When people download and don't seed the torrent for at least a little bit.
- Slow people. You don't have to live life in a frenzy but if you're in public you should proceed at a considerate pace (shopping, paying, walking, everything).
- People that try to talk to me while I'm at the urinal.
- Loud talkers. Especially opinionated loud talkers.
But, my biggest peeve is Yak-Bak conversationalists. Every joke, story, or line is about some TV show or movie. I don't want to hear the stupid catch phrases. I don't want to hear you quote movies. I think the worst phrases abused in the 2000's where Dave Chappelle and The Office quotes. It makes me want to jump out the window.
When you're in a line of cars at a traffic light, the car in front has their blinker on to turn left, and is waiting for oncoming traffic to pass so they can turn, but they don't pull up enough for the people behind them who want to go straight or turn right to proceed. Oh, that pisses me off. Just roll forward into the intersection a little, you jerk off, so the rest of us can go. Otherwise we're all waiting on your freaking left turn.
I don't have enough time or energy to get pissed off about inconsequential things.
People who stand on the left side of the moving walkways in airports, blocking the way for those that are trying to walk.
People with large SUVs that spill over the parking spot lines so they take up 2 spots. Or people that park so close that you can barely squeeze into your car.
that big huge blob of fat connecting the Gut & C***

same as a fupa
it is more the principle of the matter. there is no way of knowing whether or not people want to hear you whistle - or in this case, sing. i just find it rude and inconsiderate.
