Live and let live... If only it were that simple. But with more than 8 billion people squashed onto one small planet, it's a given that we're going to get on each other's nerves now and again. Sometimes, it's the entitlement or rudeness that grates us. Other times, it's something seemingly smaller that drives us up the wall.
How can you not be bothered by Bob not wearing a helmet while riding his motorbike, or Sally not washing her hands after being in the toilet for twenty minutes? That stranger sitting next to you on the train, munching loudly with their mouth open is surely enough to make you want to not mind your own business. The water that should run off a duck's back often gets stuck, and it happens to the best of us.
Someone asked, "What’s the absolute pettiest thing that instantly sends your blood pressure through the roof now that you’re an adult?" and you might want to prepare yourself for some second-hand irritation. Bored Panda has put together the best responses. Don't be surprised if you feel a bit snappy after scrolling through them.

When you are driving and it clearly shows that one lane ends and people drive as far up as possible and then shove their way in to get in front of everyone else who got over at a reasonable time.

People at Chipotle: hanging their hands on the glass to point down at ingredients or leaning over the glass to look directly down at the ingredients. Absolutely wild.

People that walk slower than I do but don’t get out of the way or try to stay to one side.
No matter what the reason is. If you cannot walk quickly, MOVE TO THE SIDE

People who waste my time with unnecessary stress. It's never been a particularly good feeling but the older I get the more rage I feel when it happens.

I have many. because I am a petty self-righteous person.
for example - people who push onto an elevator while Im trying to exit. WAIT.
but the most recent:
What is it with people stopping at a light and leaving three car lengths between them and the next car? *and then spending the rest of the light slowly edging forward!* (flipside - when I am on my motorcycle I will cheerfully snwing around and take that spot thank you very much).

When you’re trying to show someone a movie/TV show/song and they spend the entire duration distracted by something else.
Honorable mentions: People who don’t shut up at theaters and concerts, and general unnecessary conversation/excess noise. Bonus points if they act like you’re the problem when called out.

People who just let their children scream in public spaces and don't try to help them or even figure out why their kid is in distress.

Probably Guilt tripping. That stuff so annoying cause you and the other person both know they did a certain thing with bad intent but since yu have no physical PROOF, it’s like they can’t be blamed for it. But that right there is what you would call a malicious compliance.

Someone not giving a courtesy wave after I let them over or merge in traffic (or someone not saying thank you after someone holds the door open for them).
