Slow guy in the fast lane.
The construction workers' vehicles on Lebovic Campus Drive in the morning - I am surprised there hasn't been an accident so far.
The people crossing at Yonge and Steeles. Yes, I know they are supposed to cross where they do. They all just seem to saunter.
Having to be the squeaky wheel.
Meetings. Especially when they divert from the agenda.
Throwing a surprise baby shower and not getting even a thank you from the guest of honour.

People doing 20 below the speed limit in the passing lane.
Things not being ready on time. I don't care how you sugar coat it - it's not ready.
People who are given a deadline and think 2 days later is fine (this time it's not about the bus).
Meetings where your issue is supposed to be on the agenda, but "oops" your superior 'forgot'.
Meetings.
Being invited to a pizza lunch - only to find out it's to talk about "all the fun we had at that conference you weren't at!" (the lunch is tomorrow - so there'll be more about that - but it's already annoying me)
Summer colds.
Being nervous about something I shouldn't be nervous about.
Still not having my benefits.
Expelled students who insist they submitted their appeal letter (why should someone who FORGED MEDICAL SIGNATURES be allowed to appeal an expulsion at all?).
Not having time to get coffee.
Not having good coffee at work.

People who know they have a deadline, miss the deadline (in this case the camp bus), then have to call me to ask what to do.
Random cops standing on the corner (didn't get stopped or anything, but it freaks me out a bit)
People who don't wave thanks when I let them in ahead of me.
People who drive through parking lots as though it were the Indy or a highway.
People who blame others for their mistakes.

Not being called into a meeting to expel a student that I had expressly said I wanted and needed to be involved.
Not getting answers to important questions.
Road closures. I hate summer construction.
Classmates who incessantly ask questions - the same question - over and over, just worded differently.
Not having my exam marked and returned.
Finding out I did better on the last assignment than my friend and her groupmate (I did it all alone) and then finding out that her groupmate went to talk to the prof and got his mark upped to 9/10 from 6.5/10.
Humidity.

My alarm clock (hey! We just had a long weekend!!)
The guy blocking one of the lanes at the parking lot.
The unexpected meeting with a student and her mother at 9am. Total waste of my time.
Students who expect a day off for their birthdays, another country's holiday, miscellaneous reasons. And then pretty much just take up space and disrupt the class.
