Tips are given for excellent or outstanding service.
Tips are not given for expected or adequate service, because that's what we pay for in the bill. It has nothing to do with whether you did something wrong or were inattentive or bothersome. It's about whether the service provided was exceptionally above average. Is that really so difficult for you to understand?
I used to think like that, but then I decided to accept that it is a North American custom, like it or not, to tip restaurant servers 10-15% unless service was inadequate. It has been a custom for a very long time, and servers are grossly underpaid to compensate for this. Nobody would do that job for seven bucks an hour.
If you want to reserve your tips for servers that shine your shoes or wash your car while you eat, that's your prerogative, but you are in the minority. Besides, there's nothing worse than a server who tries too hard.

Same. 
I'm annoyed by shitty drivers, especially ones who drive in the fast lane going too slow
When people are late and DON'T at least CALL to say that they're running late, and you sit there and expect them to be on time.
I hate people working in the service industry in America that don't speak fucking English. You live in America, learn it, so that you don't fuck up my coffee order again. 
People who see that you're waiting for a parking spot, and zoom in to the spot that you're clearly waiting for from the other side. This infuriates me.
When someone brings an item up to a register with no tag on it, lets the cashier ring in all their stuff, and then says "oh, and I want this, but I don't know how much it is". Then you get to stand there while someone from ANOTHER department goes to FIND the item and do a price check. Ask someone on the floor, before holding up an entire line of people.
When someone calls you just to say "Oh I've got to go". Don't call in the first place.
When people talk in movie theatres, or worse, bring little children in to movies that are not made for little children. So inconsiderate.
I'm sure I could go one...but I'll stop for now

The only thing that really gets under my skin anymore is religous people who believe that THEIR way is the only way to heaven/enlightenment.
