Many of us have one thing that really gets to us. I have to say that probably my biggest pet peeve (as it pertains to the military) are ill fitted ACU tops. I constantly find myself explaining to people how their uniform should fit.

What is your pet peeve?

Sandbagging the PT test - Soldiers (NCO's included) hitting their number and then tapping out - lazy people drive me crazy.

Mine is honesty, some of these other posts are valid as well. Like uniform corrections can eventually be learned with the proper guidance. But honesty is a trait that is almost impossible to break.

Without a doubt, seeing Soldiers, Airman and the occasional Sailor in Walmart or the grocery store in utilities. Drives me absolutely bat shit. Of all the uniforms that are issued, why does DOD allow troops to run around in their field uniform. For that matter also flying on commercial air on leave. Why not put on either service or dress uniform and look sharp instead of looking like you just got up from a Shamu nap under a tree. This is also a recent thing. My opinion only. The Marine Corps doesn't allow this behavior. Wear your chucks all you want to Walmart, but get out of the car in utilities, STFB. Semper Fidelis.

People that back into parking spaces. Not pull through, but actually take the time to back in. What are you going to do that you need to leave that fast, rob a bank?

On the military side, is people that can't render a proper salute. The vertical salute dives me absolutely bat shit crazy nuts.

My biggest pet peeve is the train to standard not time method. EX. I say that because PT is mandatory but to extend the time shouldn't be mandatory because you can get a great workout so to me time has no place at PT because in 45 mins if you apply yourself you can be crucial
