I have many! Long toenails. Socks or anything sticking out of a closed drawer. An open drawer. People who wear flip flops and they make that horrible flapping sound when they walk! What are your pet peeves?
I have MANY times in my life told people to not be so close!!People who stand too close. Once had a man stand so close in the grocery store line that I could feel his breath on my neck. When space opened up, I moved to stand in front of my grocery cart. He decided he should come and stand right by me, in front of my grocery cart. I told him why I moved there and that I didn't need to feel his or anyone's breath on my neck because he didn't understand about personal space.
Cans of nuts and bolts....Can't stand them
Elbows work very well to clear personal space. ...Never fails to create some room
..Well, ya know what they say, Ben... What doesn't "kill ya"...
..Yeah, I may have a 'few loose screws', m'self..
One of Mine is when you go to do some "Small, quickie fixit-task" - like taking the 'squeek' out of a door, or Some other - What Should-be Simple - household / garage-chore / car-fix....
..and it devolves into this Freaking 'Climb Mount Everest'-project, that spirals into one thing after another 'breaking' / going wrong / Compounding (one 'fix' leads to another, etc) etc, and Next thing you know... it's SUNDAY NIGHT, and you Barely finish in time to saw sufficient wood to Not be a 'Zombie' on Monday for werk..
..Every. Freakin. Time. I Am 'Charlie Brown'..

Sorting runs my genes.Do you have some children who can help you? This truly is the kind of thing that you can get children into helping with, for a period of time.
At one time, I began by sorting like items, no matter the size, such as wood screws, washers, nuts, nails. Then I sorted each of those.
…My wife never closes the drawers or doors...
Karens!Nosy people! Especially people who are nosy, not because they care, but because they are gossips. I have a neighbor like this. She knows everyone's business and is happy to share it with anyone who will listen.
It would take me a week to find what I was looking for.

I applaud your control, my response would NOT be nearly that polite."Since I have my hand on it, you can choose another one. There are plenty."

When my brother was little (before I was born), my parents and brother lived in a duplex with a nosy neighbor lady next door. She knew everything, listened through the wall! So my folks faked my brother's birthday and talked about invited dozens of kids over for a party. The neighbor called the landlord and told him to be over at noon on Saturday she didn't want all those kids around. The landlord came just to check, no party! He asked my parents about it, not their son's birthday. Ha ha ha, joke on the nosy neighbor!Nosy people! Especially people who are nosy, not because they care, but because they are gossips.
