What are those extremely unimportant things in life that nonetheless drive you up the wall?
First world problems etc
For me, it's when I'm in someone's house and I see price tags still attached to book and album covers... 
I mean, covers can be works of art in themselves - how hard is it to at least try and remove the dirty big sticker mucking it up? *sheesh*  |

Indeed...the exceedingly small things. Things you wouldn't dare complain about in polite company for fear of being branded a crazy person |

Emptying the dishwasher and putting stuff away and then when nearly finished realising that the stuff hadn’t been washed as I had forgotten to turn the dishwasher on.  |

"I get unreasonably angry when people listen to music or whatever on public transport without headphones... is that trivial though  "
I'd class that as noise pollution, so not trivial enough I think! 
C'mon Iss, I know you can get more petty than that |

"People parking in my space at the front of my house or even worse leaving me a tiny space there's no chance of getting in ... so passive aggressive and it's working  "
On a public road?
In which case, it's not "your" space unless it's your driveway or garage, or your driveway or garage being obstructed.
My pet hate, as someone living in a residential estate in a small town, with a driveway for one car - is neighbors knocking on my door, asking me to move my visitor's car because it's in front of your house (not blocking anyone) on a public road.
You have legs to walk with? Park your car further down, it won't kill you - you get visitors too, taking up other people's "spaces" in front of their houses too, I'd gather?! |

A huge problem in new housing estates with a few cars per house
I sometimes wonder how they expect a fire engine to get in the way some are parked |

Unfortunately it is a big problem. And I live opposite a public amenity which draws in visitors.
We don't have designated residential parking with permits, there is no paid on street parking either, some houses have a driveway for one or 2 cars, others don't.
I can understand how those who don't have a driveway get territorial but fact is, it's a public road in front of your house, for anybody's use, not going about criminal activity!!! So if someone has parked there, it's probably one of your neighbours having a visitor or tradesperson in - most households have these and need parking for them. Ask them to park mindfully. And if "your" spot is taken, get over it - be happy your neighbors get a visitor, commiserate if they have to pay for a tradesperson and walk the few hundred yards to your house. It'll do you good!
Though the parking around here might be tight, a fire brigade should be able to get through - without causing too much damage themselves |

Kik group chats get on my tits
Cos there's no quote function, there's always several conversations happening simultaneously, no one can figure out who's talking to who and it all becomes random gibberish after a while |

Twats with expensive cars parking over the white line to make sure no-one parks too close to their big german penile substitute. Or worse, pricks parking in disabled parking bays when they don't need to. |

The fuckers that insist on driving round the town at 2 mph looking for a parking space, or double parking while Betty "runs" into the butchers causing chaos behind them. All because they're too fucking tight to pay 40p for the car park that's directly behind the street they're shopping on.
Oh and the cunts that blast the horn at you because you've the temerity to use a roundabout in the way it was intended to be used |

True that 
I did leave one alright...and another I was removed from with no prior warning  I can only assume it was because I'd stopped contributing and was taking up space for newer members  |

People visit and who whinge about my dogs being inside dogs and tell me they should live outside . If they don't like it don't call to my house.
And people who can't use indicators or who don't dim their headlights before they blind you at night. |
