Big guys who pace in shul drive me crazy. Every time they pass they have to make the rest of the aisle/row shift positions and brush into me over and over again. I've started standing so they can't pass by without pushing me out of the way or asking me to move.

i love to pace, but i'm a small guy. i also only pace when the shul is mostly empty.

Bring a big staff to shul. When the guy's nearing you, hit it against the floor and scream "THOU...SHALT...NOT...PASS!!!"

if you're carrying a big stick, you need only speak softly.

I am a big guy and I pace in shul. Actually, I leave shul and walk around the block. My pet peeve is that davening is ridiculously long and boring. A lot of other people's peeves about davening would evaporate, IMO, if that were dealt with.

Nope--that would make it longer.

Throwing candy. I don't know who had the bright idea that Ashkenazim should take rock hard candies and fling them at people's heads and at the sefer Torah as a sign of happiness. But I'd like to hunt that person down and kill him.

I did also and was surprised that you weren't the one who started it.

My own shul pet peeve is old ladies who insist on sitting near the windows and then refuse to let anyone in the shul have them open.
