Standing at an event, and some jerk walks up and stands right in front of me, without even the slightest consideration that I may be watching said event. Yes, it's immature, but man does that piss me off.

Watching something on tv, then grab the remote to turn up the volume, then hitting the wrong button and royally screwing up the whole damn television. I want to throw the remote through the wall.
Idiots that change a serious subject to something completely off topic to avoid any real debate.

You may be debating with the wrong people. This annoys me too, but I realized that some people have reasons for avoiding certain topics.
If it happens all the time with someone in particular, they may just be a simpleton, but don't be the guy who is always trying to get deep when the timing is wrong.
leaving the drive through without being given napkins/ketchup/straw. Especially a straw. That puts me on mega-tilt.
The obese
-Speedbumps
-commercials where the male involved in the situation is made to look like an idiot compared to his female counterpart
-people who beep or yell at me when I'm running or riding my bike
Men who leer and undress me with their eyes.
People who continue on in a lane that is blocked/set to end, thereby leapfrogging everybody else that had the decency to change lanes already.

I wouldn't let inconsequential things piss you off. It's a waste of energy that could be contributed to positive thoughts.

People who feel that television commercials and situational comedies are accurate depictions of life.
1) The commercials on a television program being dramatically louder than the program itself.
2) The space for printing or signing your name on a form being much smaller than anyone would normally use for that purpose.
3) Clothes with a particular size in the label varying greatly from company to company, so a large can sometimes be too small, or too big, for a person whose properly fitting clothes are large.
4) People having a private cell phone conversation in an otherwise quiet place, around others, instead of walking far enough away so they can't be heard.

Consciously, everybody knows this, but subconsciously, these types of things can start to permeate into societal attitudes. I remember going through school in the 90s and university in the early 2000s and almost all of the slackers were male, while the majority of the teacher-pleasers, who coveted good grades were female. I know at my school, if you were a boy, it was more cool to be a slacker than it was to study hard and get good grades. This may have also been true among girls, but definitely not to the same extent. Now, far more degrees are handed out to females than males and women are outnumbering men in coveted programs such as law and medicine. During this time, popular culture was bombarded with negative male stereotype characters from programs such as The Simpsons, Family Guy, Home Improvement... etc.
I'm not saying it's fair to blame these shows alone, as there are obviously many other factors to consider, but constantly depicting males as idiots on TV shows and commercials is certainly not helping the situation.
As for inconsequential things that piss me off, I hate waiting for slow people to get out of my way, like high school kids who jay-walk across the road and take 30s to cross 10m. I can't stand people who get on slow-moving escalators and then stand still, so that I'm stuck behind them all the way to the top.

I agree. I hate it when shows do that too. I hate a lot of things on television. But, I love television on the whole!
It's the way you stroke my hair while I am sleepin'
It's the way you tell me things I don't know
It's the way you remember I came home late for dinner
Eleven months and fourteen days ago
It's the little things the little bitty things
Like the way that you remind me I've been growin soft
It's the little things the itty bitty things
It's the little things
That piss me off
It's the note that you leave on the breakfast table
With a list of things to help me plan my day
It's the way you say we could have If you'd done the things you should have
It's the little things Darlin that make me feel this way
It's the little things the little bitty things
like the way that you remind me I've been growin soft
It's the little things the itty bitty things
It's the little things
That piss me off
Arrogance
My dad hates it when someone DOESN'T pull out into the road after the green arrow goes away, allowing them to turn after the oncoming traffic dies down.
I can't think of anything of that sort that pisses me off.
