* Comments from people on social media, ie Facebook, G+, etc., which only address the headline and/or preview of an article without having read the entire article. Hell, same thing with people on news websites who comment without reading the f@cking article.
* Cigarette smoking drifting into my apartment from the smoker's on the first floor.
* People who refute numerous scientific research studies in order to grasp at a straw of "truth" handed out by a someone who supports their view. People who are otherwise intelligent cast all application of critical thinking out the window when it comes to vaccinations, gluten diets, etc.
* Conversations with someone who doesn't question what they are told by the news media, especially when they only derive the information from a single source. There truly are at least two sides to a story. I wish people would try to learn what they are before forming an opinion. They do not have to agree with me; just be prepared to acknowledge that there are different ways to consider an event, topic, or individual's portrayal rather than putting hands over their ears while saying "lalalalalala, I can't hear you."
* Conversations with people who do not address the topic at hand, but rather resort to fallacies such as ad hominem attacks.
* Candle wicks that are the wrong diameter for the size candle causing them to burn inefficiently.

I also dislike encountering a smoker when I am out for a walk. Without fail they will be dispersing the fumes in the direction I am walking.
