I hate when people take pauses between their sentences that are so massive it sounds like they're finished speaking when they aren't, especially if I'm working. I'll wait a good five seconds after no one has said anything before I put my headphones back on, but sometimes that isn't even enough and they start talking again shortly after I resume work, then end up complaining that they have to repeat themselves. How about you don't take six or seven-second pauses between your sentences? Do you literally expect me to ask "are you done?" when I think you're done? Can I not trust you to properly signal when you're done speaking? Apparently not.
It's even worse when those same people - well, this is just one person now - who also accuses me of saying "uhh" too often, despite the fact I literally do that to signify that I'm not done speaking, which is almost an overcompensation for trying not to be like the people I just mentioned.
Additionally, I don't even say "uhh" very often, which only adds a third layer of dafuq to this.

Re: Pet Peeves
People who take up the entire footpath, I know folk like socialising when they're out and about, but I shouldn't have to walk on the road just to go past.
People who don't indicate when turning, as a pedestrian, the amount of times I have put my foot forward to cross, but then have to hastily put it back is obnoxious. I'm not psychic, I don't know what you intend to do.
