The smell of urine that hits you after getting off the train at Penn Station, NYC.

Wiping it after you pee is the territory of women. The next step in that line of behavior is sitting down.

Ahh yes. An aroma every human should experience at least once. I try to breathe through my mouth to get the full effect.
I hate it when I go to shop for fruit or something and the guy who stacks the apples or whatever turns them bad side down. Or even worse, tries to hide a bad spot by sticking the label over it. Every time I catch them at it I feel the urge to locate the nearest employee and throw the damn thing at his head. Waste of my fricken time in the worst way.

There's very little redeeming about that town.
For my part, it's either incorrect punctuation (not missed, but things like ending questions with a period) or people who don't walk on the side cars drive. I've stopped and stared them down until they walk to their right, but they are ever a blight on my commute.
In the grammar vein, I'd have to add the recent trend of using an apostrophe to pluralize words. From whence came this idea? How have we practiced this correctly for hundreds of years, only to suddenly wake up one day and collectively forget?
IE 6 can go eat a giant donkey dick, please. Ugh.
I'm not a huge fan of IE7 either, but you're right that 6 is truly a piece of work.
If you're really run aground, send me a PM and I can at least see if I can see what's going on (I'm the renderbug SWAT team at my day job).

Also: using "quotes" for "emphasis".
Other People's Perl Code (OPPC). Perl is a write-only language amongst many of my coworkers, and I seem to have a knack for acquiring ownership and maintenance responsibilities for their scripts.
The facilities people in my office. Quit being cheapskates and turn up the gorram A/C before I get heatstroke!
Yeah, I prefer using *asterisks with footnotes**.
*Begin reading with emphasis
**End reading with emphasis

I hate printers. All of them. I'm a little bit miffed that I now have one at home. So much of my job in tech. support is fixing people's locked-up printer queues or pulling little ribbons of paper out of the printer itself.
Yes, Sir.
But most of all.....Lawyer's Secretaries complaining because they don't know how to configure their printers.

Not the most elegant way to do it but check this out.
Or just physically remove the plastic key from your keyboard. Guaranteed to work! I know.. I've done it.
F*cking code that makes no sense!! I've been stuck for multiple days trying to track down what is causing this code to crash. And while I've determined the exact reason for the crash, I have no clue what is causing the code to set the conditions that cause the crash. So I'm basically stuck either fixing the "symptoms" of the crash or spending several more days (of which I'm already past due date) trying to actually solve the problem!!
Sometimes I hate coding!!
This. I hate C++ right now so much I could kill someone. Preferably whoever the f*ck gave a loaded shotgun of a language to the imbeciles who wrote this goddamn application, shortly followed by said imbeciles.

This is why I don't like C++. Java, C# are fine. I like the flexibility, and frankly, fix-ability of Python and Ruby. C++ as a loaded shotgun is without a doubt the best analogy I've heard.
I hate elevators. And hospitals, and doctors, and stairs...

Amen. I'm working as a freelance PHP developer at the moment, meaning
- I'm always working with someone else's code, and
- that code is usually written by the lowest bidder (bad), or the client (worse)
One recent job included a variable named "$and" used in creating SQL queries that sometimes contains "AND", sometimes "OR", and sometimes unescaped input. The same application passed all form submissions through a script that would add new fields to the database table on the fly if the name of an input field in the form didn't match up with any of the database table's fields. Eep.
Don't rely on the lowest bidder for critical applications, kids. I'll fix it for you, but you'll have passive-aggressive comments in your source code afterwards. 
On that note, let me add self-identified "internet marketing experts" to the List of Loathing.
I hate vans.
Mine would have to be that F'ING Windows key on the bottom row of the keyboard.
Fortunately for you, the windows key can be disabled with a registry setting.

Right now I'd pay money to be able to use C++. I'm stuck using C. C might have been a cool language 30 years ago, but it doesn't even support overloaded functions for fsck's sake. And don't even get me started on the worst idea in the history of programming: delimited strings. Whoever came up with that one should be punched in the face.
Money keeping me separated from my wife and two daughters. Immigration plans gone wrong because of this f*cked up state of the world.

Yeah, C is right above C++ on the list of ass languages. Someone really needs to hit a good, reliable way to build C++ compatable binaries with other languages.
Also: using "quotes" for "emphasis".
This.
At one point, I carried around a magic marker through the supermarket, circling and crossing out instances of this horrible depravity.
For instance:
"Eggs" two for one!
Ok, if they aren't eggs, what are they?

You guys are gonna love the "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks.
A friend of mine works near a restaurant with a sign proclaiming that it sells "curry's". Quotes for emphasis, improper pluralization, and an unnecessary apostrophe. That sign makes me so damn angry.
The trifecta of grammar nerd rage!

"Smells like summertime in Brooklyn", as some old friends from Brooklyn once said.
Kid's on the subway with cheap ass headphones in their ipods. Yea it's great that you like Linkin Park you sniveling little scumsack but I don't so either turn that crap down so you aren't bleeding sound across the whole goddamn train or invest in some headphones that don't suck complete and total ass.

There is a Thai restaurant near my house that has a sign that reads:
We "Deliver"
The deliver is in quotes...
My wife and I say that they do in fact "deliver," in that they do give you Thai food in exchange for money.

It's bad enough that precious hours of my all-too-brief life are being spent studying the damned kidneys, but you make me sit through two hours of excruciatingly slow group-style learning when I could learn twice as much in half the time just by reading? We really need a surgeon track at my school that lets us skip the ethics, compassion, and cooperative group-learning activities. :P
I'd rather not be operated on by a surgeon with no ethics or compassion. But that's just me!
Disclaimer: not saying that you are (or will be) like that, just in general :-P
My view is that if you don't already possess a high standard of ethics and at least a reasonable modicum of compassion, you probably don't belong in medical school in the first place. Further, if you lack these things, twenty hours worth of classroom time isn't going to change anything. All that's happening is that those of us who already possess an ethical outlook and compassion are having our time wasted. Personally, I think it's a bunch of academics trying to justify their jobs, but hey, I'm not bitter or anything.
