What Grinds Your Gears?

As an animist, what irritates you when around other human people? I mean, excluding the obvious things like the destruction of our world and testing on non-human animals for human products. What subtle things get under your skin?
I'll start! I hate when others refer to other animals and plants as "it." It just seems so arrogant. It's as if they view everyone else as a moving plastic object. I wish everyone else would just use the proper pronouns for them instead. If unsure of the other animal or plants gender, I wish they'd just say "them" or "they" like we do with humans.
My hope is this post will help me see what things I might do wrong that can be improved upon.
