You've just described my all time hatred.
May be stereotypical. But all stereotypes stem from somewhere.

When people say 'saaa'.
Every night on Facebook 'I am saaaaa tired', 'today was saaa good' etc
What does it mean? So? why not just say that?
Someone enlighten me

Leave it out in the yard for a little while. It'll bring in some boys who will either lick it clean or steal it.

Because I do care about what's going on. I'm not just going to stick my head in the sand and think the only thing I should be worried about is whether Nandos is worth paying for. From all the information I take in, I feel I can't make a truly informed decision about this stuff, which makes me feel like an idiot. I don't want to be able to one-up people in conversation, I just want to know where I stand!

People who 'wash up' after themselves and claim that they therefore don't need to help with the washing up, but really do nothing but rinse a dish so it still has food on it and leave a big mess in the sink.

basic politeness does require at least a "good, thanks"
adding my current peeve: people who make assumptions about your behaviour based on their own personal worldview, then crack the shits and have a go at you about it.
example: my friend's flatmate had a go at me yesterday, actually she got her partner to have a go first, because i'd been just being quiet and hadn't responded to generalized remarks made by her that weren't even directed at me. so i was totally rude to her, apparently.
i very firmly but gently told her that i was being quiet and not to take it personally but she wasn't satisfied with that. too bad, i reckon.

people who ask how you are. it's the single stupidest most annoying waste of time in existence.
the answer every freaking time is "good thanks". EVERY TIME. it's not even a freaking question. you know what the answer is going to be before you even ask it!
i can't imagine how many hours of my life i've wasted having stupid pointless smalltalk like this just so i appear polite.
someone knocks on the door & i answer.
"oh hey how are you?"
"i'm good thanks." THE EXACT SAME AS THE OTHER NINE FUCKING HUNDRED TIMES YOU HAVE ASKED ME. STOP ASKING ME HOW I AM THE ANSWER NEVER FUCKING CHANGES AND I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU EVEN IF IT HAS. YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF HOW I AM CHANGES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THE CONVERSATION WE ARE ABOUT TO HAVE SO JUST GET TO THE POINT AND STOP WASTING MY TIME.
sigh. you'd think this irritated me or something.

it's something i find annoying too, but it's a social lubricant that helps people rub along together.
tho when i'm feeling particularly peeved with it all, i'll answer with "would you like the truth or the polite fiction?" and watch people struggle to figure out a response.

I work at a checkout, and I completely agree. It's gotten to the point that when my friends or family or whatever ask, people who do care how I am, I just go into automatic work mode... Not bad thanks, and you?
Urgh I dislike smalltalk as well

when asked "how i am" i sometimes throw them a curve ball and respond with 'i'm feeling fair to moderate"

Tight asses.
I can respect that people can be a little more conservative with their money, but my dad drives me f**king insane. Sure he pays about $15000 a year for my school. And at times spoils me and my sister. But its more so his attitude about money. He owns his house/car/shack everything. But when ever he goes to buy anything for him self, he wont do it. For example, he is "saving" for some new ski's. When i know he has $80000 tucked away in the bank with nothing to do with it.. So he puts on this big "i cant afford it at the moment speech". Makes me so angry, he needs to realise he is very lucky to have what he has got..
sorry guys..

I'll remember that if you ever walk into my shop, I won't bother asking you how you're doing, which will save me the annoyance when you don't answer. I will however extend you the same courtesy and ignore you should you need any help.
Not so, it's making him free money. If he waits a bit the interest alone will pay for his new skis, awesome ski's for free. Winner.

Not to mention the reason he is swimming in money may have something to do with not spending it
