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?

... but it makes it so much easier to make their MILES go beep on the FTX. :D
And the ones that habitually use Tide... their ACU's positively GLOW in the moonlight!

Utility uniforms out in town. Unless you're on some kind of detail get your civvies on or if you must wear a uniform to impress some chick at the bar, rock your dress uniforms, they're better looking than your cammies in the first place. I get that part of that is a regulation difference with some of our sister services but fuck me running with a chainsaw does it put me up the wall.

Not wearing your cover when "running" into a building when you think you are close enough or won't get caught.
I can't count the number of times I've corrected people for this while in the Air Force.
Also, while not a uniform violation, on a similar path - running to the building or your car to beat Retreat or TAPS. I've yelled at a few people for that as well (including civilians).

I really have to add one more thing. The improper wearing of headgear, weather pushed back, sideways, or backward is totally unacceptable. Pride in your wearing of any uniform, to me, let's me know about your pride in yourself, your service, and your country.

LCDR (Join to see) Too many times Sir. Way too many times. It was so bad too. If you were that bad at it, ask a friend. Hell, take it a little Fillipina lady at the NEX and you'll get a perfect roll and tie every time. It was just laziness.

Yes PO3 Brendan "Smitty" Smith Brenda Smith one of the things the modern Navy is missing out on is the Visits to Subic Bay with all the great stuff they made like Velcro dress blue trousers, I hated having to unbutton 13 buttons every time when had to go to the head. Why could we not have started out with a more reasonable number of Colonies like 4

I had my Dress Blue trousers done that way by a tailor in Hawaii. It made life simpler that's for sure.

When the cracker-jack uniform was revived, in the post-Zumwalt Navy, no one knew how to tie the neckerchief! Some of the Old Salts tried to teach us, but....
The 13 button fly was fixed one year while I was on leave. I borrowed my mother's sewing machine and added Velcro with false buttons! Solved the beer drinking issues, but not great for inspections!

I guess mine would be proper wearing of a cover. It's not a baseball cap. It doesn't cock back on your head. It doesn't go down around your ears so that the top of the cover is rounded with the head. Supposed to be parallel with the ground. 2 inches off the brim of the nose. I was taught to place you pointing and middle finger off your nose and place the bill on the fingers. As far as the ranger roll. I don't like a full roll. And I don't like a blocked Cover either. I normally just roll the front as to show the rank. I know that rolling in any form is against the reg. but so is pulling the front forward like civil war hats. Can't see the rank. That drives me crazy!

@marvin mann I must say, I am guilty of the cowboy thumbs, myself.

I'm sure they'd be glad to stick their hands in their pockets instead... Oh wait

I'm guilty of the "cowboy thumbs" too, and never did it before joining the Army, and personally think it looks stupid. But the only reason I do it is because I can't do the normal thing every human on Earth does, which is put his hands in his pockets.

Mine is this current entitlement mentality that has swept through America. No one wants to earn any thing anymore. They expect it to just be handed to them.

My pet peeves are people who don't listen and those who try to argue their point about a topic that they are absolutely ignorant about. These two things drive me completely crazy.
