My girlfriend actually was pretty angry (we lean toward being environmentalists) and she asked me to swing around so she could pick it up.
My personal peeves...

1) People who toss their cigarette butts (or even ash) out the window.

The world is not your ashtray. Use the one thoughtfully provided by the automotive manufacturer (as I recall, some charge extra for the cigarette lighter - but the ashtray is typically included.)

2) People who don't pick up after their pets.

I don't want to step in the mess your dog leaves on the sidewalk. Pick it up. Toss it in an acceptable receptacle. Or I may be tempted to pull one of my own bags out (I keep 3-4 of the "mitt bags" in my wallet most of the time because they're small enough to do so) and fling the poo at your back as you stroll away.

3) Apply #2 to people with small children... 'Nuff said.
