We’ve compiled the best rants and complaints of TODAY viewers and readers. Discover the top pet peeves:

What drives me crazy are people who stop at the top or bottom of an escalator. They're either looking to see where they want to go or they just stop. How stupid is that?

People that "saturate" themselves with so much perfume or cologne that you can smell them 15 feet away. So much so that you can taste it and it stays with you for hours. It's especially offensive in the workplace and on public transportation I've moved to other areas of a bus or subway car. They might be able to afford it but they certainly don't know how to use it. "Fragrance" is a tremendous industry but do we really need more?

I hate when people park a shopping cart in the middle of the aisle in Wal-Mart or food store, —— blocking the way for others and then walking away from it to gather items. Take it with you for Pete’s sake! Also, when they meet friends and stand in a group to talk and you can't get around them! Get out of my way!

People who eat like pigs! Close your mouth when you eat. Don't talk while you are chewing. Be considerate of others when you eat and don't be so focused on talking. Eat politely!

I'm a patient person but it seems as though more and more drivers don't understand the "keep right except to pass" rule. People cruise along in the passing/left lanes going slower than the rest of traffic. They're oblivious to the fact that they're causing bottlenecks. There would be a lot less road rage if people would simply be aware of those around them.

Men not washing their hands in the restroom after completing their task.

My pet peeve is when the toilet paper is finished and the paper roll is left and no one throws it away. A dirty stove top, when finish cooking all food particles should be clean and off the stove. When people chew there food and somehow there food makes noise. Hair strands left on shower walls.
--Anonymous , Norwalk, CA (submitted on Jan. 14, 2008)

My pet peeve is when people do just enough to get by at work, but just enough to keep from getting fired yet they get paid the same as those of us who give our all and go the extra mile. The work ethic of a lot of the working class today is horrible.

What irritates me is people that shove their entire wardrobe in the overhead bin on the airplane, only to struggle removing it when the plane has landed. If you are part of the American Gladiator team and can snatch your bag quickly, I have no problem. But if you have limited strength and/or stature and take 5 minutes to remove your overstuffed luggage, then please wait until I have disembarked before you begin your fight. I am a petite woman and I carry what I can easily manage...under my seat.

It really grinds my gears (quoting Family Guy) when people are late. I am such a stickler for time. I make it a point to arrive places about 10 minutes early, for my own comfort as well as the convenience of whoever I'm meeting. But when people are even 5 minutes late, it just annoys the heck out of me.
