Mine are pretty simple and not obsessive. As long as the car is clean and neat inside out the little stuffs like 3/4 open vents doesn't bother me that much

^^I don't like it. It's loud. I hardly ever use my AC or heater. My windows are almost always cracked, if not all the way down.

My pet peeves are:
1. Completely spotless front windshield. I cant deal with any streak marks, fingerprints, dead bugs, etc... on my windshield. If it gets dirty, I clean it almost immediately.
2. Don't slam my doors or trunks. Our doors close on their own with a tiny nudge to start it off. No need to fling them.
3. Passengers grabbing the OH-**** handles when I'm driving.

Here are some of mine:
2. When parked, my steering wheel has to be straight.
5. No change is allowed in the "change holder"...lol
9. I NEVER turn my AC/Heater on at full blast no matter how cold or hot it is...I have have been like this with all my cars no matter how old/new the are...
11. The arm rest in the back can NEVER be left down.
+1

1. I hate letting the gas get real low... I often fill up when it hits a quarter tank... wife will take her suv down to fumes...
2. I don't like things in my trunk, I keep it empty
3. I have to have my radio stations in order
4. I turn off my A/C, radio, etc before turning off the car

In my case, it is all "psychological"...burns gas faster (in my mind), and I fear it puts "too much stress" on the blower....lol

1. No sandy/snow covered/dirt covered shoes when you get in the car (like you know when you go to the beach and people have their feet/shoes covered in sand, its a pain to vac)
2. Clean car inside out, well maybe except the engine bay, still need to bust out my simple green and start cleaning.
3. Backseat driver when I know the direction or the GPS is already navigating and you THINK you know the way there.
4. Clean windows all around
5. Wheels have to be at LEAST 4 inches away from the sidewalk when I parallel park
6. No eating and drinking. Water is ok
7. No fat chicks, car will scrape and not be able to go over speedbumps jk )

Actually, I don't think any of these are silly, most people would probably agree!

I am kinda like this in a way. If one window is "cracked open", then all 4 windows need to be open and aligned evenly....lol
This is when parked.

+1 on #2. I am weird like that. I only have my "after the gym over the seat" towel and my First Aid Kit in mine and can't stand riding around with unnecessary crap in my trunk. Sometimes I do get paranoid and think I at least need some jumper cables in their or something. By reading my pet peeves, I must seriously have a problem.....lol
