Actually, holy rollers irritate the hell out of me with their holier than thou elitist attitudes. That and people who can't take a joke.

Oh, and people who get upset at grammar nazis. If you'd take a little time and actually think about what you are saying enough to formulate a coherent post you come off as much more intelligent. On the other hand, if you type crap like this: "OMGHI2U!!! I am teh suxors!!!" and have spelling and grammatical errors all through your post you just come off looking like an idiot.
 
These who rely on these two emoticons -> :disgust: :roll: to express their genius, and those who use the 🙂 icon when saying something obnoxious, inflammatory, or self-righteous.

Acronyms tick me off the most.

It's a forums. Jeebus, it's not a race to see who can get the first post in. Take your time, don't acronymize, and check your spelling. Who cares if your post ends up being posted the next day. Just make sure you have quoted the person that you are replying to if it's not the OP's question.

Acronymize, eh? It's such a problem that you need to make up a word for it, nice.

I do have to wholeheartedly agree on the spelling though, especially intentionally misspelled words.
 
Attention whores that give subtlety a try and fail horribly.

(...my SAT's came back and I only scored 1580, what should I do?!?)

 
When I invest some time for an in my opinion informative reply and it gets zip feedback. I don't really care about flamefests. Meh, it's the web and I'm here voluntarily, but a sporadic pat on my e-shoulder makes things better 😉
