My youngest sister's tube of toothpaste is GROSS! Once, when visiting her, I noticed that all around the opening of the tube was CAKED with dried-up toothpaste! I'm not talking a little bit of toothpaste, but a LOT!! That always drove me nuts... and probably shouldn't ! My tube of toothpaste is just as clean as can be... I don't waste a single drop of toothpaste!
Do you have any personal examples of this?

 my mom leaves the toothpaste like that...I just throw it away, how unsanitary is that?! what drives me nuts is my food on the plate...it has to be in seperate portions, and cannot touch! if it does, I can't eat it...and I always have to eat one portion at a time...I know, im crazy! lol

A messy food pantry ..I like being able to tell at a glance whether or not I have ingredients I need to prepare a meal or to make my shopping list.

Open the fridge ---- there is syrup streamed down the
bottle, mayonaise on the jar, just things like this I hate! 
And yes, the pantry--- I line everything up so you can see at
a glance what is in the box. And my cannisters are clear with
labels on them as to what it is. 
And God forbid if you come to the table without washing
your hands...

Trying fold those D***mn Fitted sheets, at the laundromat, with all those Smarty Pants women just standing there laughing at me. Then rolling on the floor laughing when I just wind up wadding them up, and stuffing them in the basket. Instead of laughing they could ....

It drives me nuts when people stick their chewing gum on just about any nearby surface! There is a reason why garbage cans were invented, folks!

What's with cigarette smokers flipping their cigarettes anywhere they feel like it?

LMAO!!!!!! I have WAY TOO MANY things that drive me nuts to possibly list them ALL on a forum!
I have to agree with the toothpaste issue. Roll it from the bottom to the top and keep it clean and capped when not in use. Don't leave little blobs of toothpaste in my sink. I have water and encourage it's use.
Kitchen cabinets are impeccable. All items are arranged alphabetically and in sections. Canned items on one side, boxed items on the other. Canned veggies on top shelf, canned misc. on the bottom. (I'm anal about this stuff, just so ya know). My dishes are even arranged "just so" between the sink and the stove. My spice cabinet is my shrine and NO ONE enters that shrine except ME! 
Trying fold those D***mn Fitted sheets, at the laundromat, with all those Smarty Pants women just standing there laughing at me.
Never, please accept my apology for the thoughtless actions of those women at the laundramat. Rest assured, if I had been there, you would know exactly how to fold a fitted sheet. 
What's with cigarette smokers flipping their cigarettes anywhere they feel like it? I'm a smoker, but I agree with you on this one Pete (welcome back by the way, you've been missed). Nothing worse than cruising down the road (on the bike) and having someone toss a hot "butt" out the window. Have had it happen. It's NOT fun.
I also can't stand to see someone's yard littered with cigarette butts. Especially if the yard is well maintained. They made ashtrays for a reason folks!!
I'm not going to list all of the things that drive me nuts, but I will add this one other thing. Judgemental people drive me nuttier than uncapped and dirty toothpaste tubes.

You'll find this amusing. I can laugh about it now so feel free to join me. I go to my son's aunt's house to do laundry now. I'm not exactly "welcome" at the local laundromat. Like I said, if I had been there with you, you'd know EXACTLY how to fold those fitted sheets (along with every other item you have in the dryer!).
I'll make the long story short. I upset a few people when I helped a new single mother fold her laundry. She was young and obviously had no clue what she was doing (reds in with the whites). You get the picture?? Because I was spending so much time helping her I allowed one of my loads (in the quad loader) to go unattended and a few people got pissy about it. They said I shouldn't be concerned with someone else's laundry and pay more attention to my own. Apparently one of them was waiting for the big washer and instead of just reminding me that I had a load in it, she chose to get ignorant. Things got a little "heated" after that. None of us are welcome back at the laundromat now. Kind of sucks too, cause it's the only decent laundromat in my town. We have two but the other one only has 2 washers and 2 dryers and no tables for folding clothes etc.

Very petty, but.....
People in line in front of me at a fast place...le'ts say, McDonalds....who stand there forever deciding what they want.
The menu has not changed! And if you can't decide what you're "in the mood for," let someone else go in front of you!
grrrrrrr......

People who have a handicapped license plate because a family member is handicapped and still uses handicapped parking when the family member isn't with them.

Some people have handicaps that are not readily visible....so we should never judge without knowing the facts....
I guess I'm just a laid back kinda person...not much bothers me....other than arrogant people...who are rude and judgemental...and have to put others down to feel better about themselves......we are all human...are not perfect.....and most of us don't see our own faults, as others see us....
I guess on second thought what drives me crazy are LYERS AND PLAYERS.

Jelly and/or bread crumbs in the margarine tub 
Using the sugar spoon to stir coffee with...then putting it back in the sugar bowl to get all crusty 
...and do NOT rearrange the things on my coffee table or bookcases, please...they belong exactly where I put them, not an inch to one side or another
(they're always VERY easy to put back in the right place, though: just look for the dust marks)
