Well, I'll have to think hard about that. Living in Texas (and prior to that, Mexico City) I have a lot of logical pet peeves...so much so that I have found many kindred spirits among the Germans.
At the moment I can only think of airports. I know they're necessary for trans-oceanic commute and maybe some transcontinental routes (Houston to Vancouver as an example), but I'll avoid the hours and frustrations of security at all costs if I can find a train or drive to my destination.

My favorite bit is the 18th hole abduction pearl clutching. I don't hate mini golf, but I did always have a sort of about that whole take my ball thing too.
I have not always been so zen but thinking on this topic, I'm more monk-like than I would have guessed.
These little things? I have near no capacity to care for even when totally reasonable.
I was buying something and dealing with a salesman on a call and he could hear the ticking of my very old oven clock. He said it would drive him nuts.
In the distant past I had considered cleaving the internals apart until I could excise anything clock like in the hopes of leaving any heating bits in tact.
For years though, I hadn't much noticed it or thought of it until he said something.
But I have thought of what is definitely my most absurd pet peeve. People with narrow eating preferences and a stubborn reluctance to try anything new.
It's absurd. Why should I care what they want?
It's an annoyance borne of frustrated love really. You just want to share with someone "hey this stuff is easy to love huh?"
Maybe it isn't so absurd. Stuffing something in your mouth is just so easy. It's almost literally all we do for like our whole second year of life.
The annoyance, I think, is the implicit "no, if it risks connecting with you on any sort of level I will not consume even a bite of anything you deem tasty". This hasn't crossed their mind, generally... probably. Somewhere deep in the folds it was rolling around my dome though.

Humans that obey the automated any system even when it is clearly wrong, broken, unusable.
At a new doctor's office, speaking face-to-face with admin assistant:
Asst: "I can't set up a personalized account for you. You need to call our help desk"
Me: "for some reason your office phone system has my number listed as an advertising site and won't allow it to continue."
Asst: "Oh then just go call on your home phone and you can set it up from there."
Me: "Are they in the same building? Can I just go see them in person?"
Asst: "They're on the next floor. But they go home at 3:00 so they're not there."
Me: [ looking dumbfounded at the sincerely eager-to-help person in front of me who hadn't connected the dots, and realizing that she only had the job because there were no better applicants. ]
Um, I'll try tomorrow.

I have to use STL-less C++ w/ malloc instead of new because embedded devices often have multiple heaps.
I've built out a set of complicated classes that do a lot of little allocations and I need a tool to check and make sure I'm not leaking.
I haven't used one of these in so many years I can't even remember the names of the tools I used to use.
Any recommends?

perhaps you may consider writing your own equivalent of stl::unique_ptr etc.

I've considered it, but I should also need to use the emplace new operator and I'm currently not doing that, so I'm not using RAII.
I could, but it would require retooling quite a bit of code. Another related reason I'm not using RAII is this evolved from a reference implementation in C.

i wrote such a tool many years ago . it was simple crude but effective . as best i recall it merely placed an intermediary / agent in front of malloc / free so kept records . at program exit of course its vector should be empty . it also read and stored from the stack the malloc call site so as to permit identifying the responsible party .

See that's what I was looking for. I used to use a 3rd party tool for it, because I am paranoid about bugs in my debug code, you know? I just can't remember what it was, since it has been too long.

I use Deleaker[^] to find leaks in Visual Studio.

Oooh thank you! I'll give that a shot.
Update: Works fantastically. Thanks again!
