As for IM's and communicating on the internet...that is absolutely my #1 pet peeve. I get into chats with females who will have a pile of chats going at the same time....definitely a put down. If I'm not worth her full undivided attention then she gets less important to me very quick. It is definitely rude in my opinion.
Another is the ones who jerk me around and make b.s. excuses. I was supposed to meet a lady for brunch today... "you're sending me mixed signals"... totally stupid to me... We were supposed to be meeting, not debating the quality of her understanding. The next signal I sent was not at all mixed...it was direct "FORGET IT!" I give respect and expect it in return...is that too much to ask?
Many things irritate me, but if we're talking CS it has to be those people who have decided for one reason or another that they don't like you very much, so they totally ignore any (reasonable, friendly) posts you make in their threads.
People who find it necessary to put other people down in order to feel important themselves, treating waitresses or bartenders rudely, employers who have a constant need to flex their authority
I can't think of my #1 peeve is but the one that comes stands out the most in my mind is folks who finish your sentences and are completely wrong in assuming/guessing what you're about to say. Every time.
