What is your pet peeve or what are some of them?

People who are selling stuff or delivering stuff in the neighborhood and deliberately stop their vehicles -- usually trucks -- halfway out into the road, which makes other vehicles have to go around them. Why do they feel the need to do that?

I was out mowing my lawn yesterday when a white pickup truck stopped in the road in front of my house. There were no other vehicles in front of my house, so he could have easily pulled over to the curb and out of the way of other traffic, yet he stopped halfway out into the road and just sat there for like ten minutes. Then he gets out and asks me if I'm "Mike." I tell him no and keep mowing. Then he asks if "Mike" lives next door and I just tell him I have no idea.

There was no company name or anything on his truck. It was just a white pickup with no insignia or anything, so I wasn't about to help him -- especially since he was blocking traffic.

About once a month or so I see a truck -- usually a van -- stopped in the street blocking traffic, just sitting there. So that's my pet peeve of the day.
 
My pet peeve for today, is people who use the laundry room in my building and spill detergent on the floor and just leave it there. There is a paper towel dispenser right near the washers. There is a sink with running water in the very next room if needed. They just leave it there and it dries to the floor. Sometimes it runs down the front of the machine and they could have wiped it up but didn't.
