Easy: I had all the party members except 1 leave a chest run....while waiting to rez, he stood there and waited 10 minutes to take my drop: a perfect, gold req 8 Halo Axe 15^50 with 20/20 sundering...I'd give his name if permitted. I spent a good deal of time whining about it and spamming he was a theif every time I went to farm and he was in the area....then found out 20 or so people had the same experience with him before me....ugh. Such an A-hole...
Malice Black
And you knew an unid was 15^50 with 20/20 how?
VitisVinifera
easy, before reconnects, the time someone drops at the worst possible moment that totally negates a lot of time and hard work getting to that point
there were many of these moments

Getting within 35,000XP (ish) of Legendary Survivor only to die a needless death due to the lag problems that ANet refuse to admit exist on the Euro servers.

1. Getting 34 exp till survivor title then dieing
2. Solo farming tombs. Had 4 ecto drops on first level and hadn't picked them up yet. Lagged, died...
3. Soloing trolls with a W/R build. they interupted my healing signet when I had Gladiators Defence up. Can happen, but not very often. Had 3 purples there, a couple clovers, and a wack of gold.

The bastard told me!
Then dropped it so I could see...
...he also dropped/picked up all his other loot to taunt me while I begged for it. Started taking screenies, but got pretty pissed...never bothered to report the guy (figured it wouldn't do any good)

Mod Edit: Removed screenshot as you could see the person's name and GWG does not allow posting of ppl's names without their permission.
EDIT: Did a better job of masking names...apologies all 'round.

Lets see uhh... about 3-4 days ago I went to get my monk FoW set and my mouse lagged while I was crafting it and I crafted the Handwraps twice... so yeah that's probably it...
Linksys
I'd say whenever I join a PUG party and wait a very long time to get the party full, then I get kicked without any notice. Either the leader of the group didn't realize that I had been waiting 45 minutes with them or doesn't care. For some reason a lot of people get some sense of power or glee from doing that. When they find someone they figure is better, they kick someone out without any word.

After two years of playing finally getting one single really rare skin to drop - I saw the gold letters saying "elemental sword".
Turns out this was one of the "lucky" ones that is non-inscribable and worthless - YAY!!! It doesn't have a damage mod at all - great!!!
Still checked on it's worth and was confirmed.

Grouping with a pug (yeah, I know...I should have known better) to cap an elite in Dragon's Lair, which is not hard, it's just a pain the ass. Everyone was capping so we all called out which boss we needed. When we got to my boss, I again reminded them that I needed it. So we all waited til each person said, got it and then moved on. Right after we killed the boss I needed, someone went through the portal before I could cap.
Prince Telemakhos
went to cap Earth Shaker going out of Camp Rankor b/c at the time my friend didnt have deldrimor. Took 30 minutes just to get where wiki says the closest spawn was. Then another 10 minutes to the next spawn and then another 15 to the next spawn. About an hour of fighting to the boss and damn prophecies has randmo spawns so i've wasted a good hour doing nothing.

Reading a guild wars guru thread on the soul reaping nerf.
TheRaven
Hmmm, not sure I can name just 1.
1. Joining a 4-man UW trapping group. As soon as we warped in, our leader aggros all the aatxes, runs outta the way and leaves us to die. He then told us to leave because he has a solo build and won't rez us. He just didn't want to pay the entry fee and that's why he brought us along. The first and only time i got scammed. At least I only lost 250g on the deal.
2. Joining a masters group in Gyala Hatchery and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for more players to join. We finally team up with another group and their leader kicks me and adds a henchie. I asked why he kicked me and he said it's because warriors suck in this mission and he prefers his heroes. Half hour of my time wasted for nothing. (Still need masters here btw)
3. The Wilds mission: I hate this mission more than any other. I'm sick of telling morons not to kill the centaurs 50 times each run before they inevitably kill the centaurs. The only mission I refuse to PUG anymore.
4. Not really ingame, but this seems to happen to me quite often. I'll bid on an item in the sell forum here and have the highest offer.....no reply from seller...wait a few days....PM the seller.....no reply.....PM again.....no reply.....Whisper seller ingame....."Oh, sorry I sold that item ingame."
5. And the #1 most annoying thing to happen to me in the game..... spending a good hour yesterday at work reading about this really cool new farming area with ranger spirits in Urgoz's Warren only to get home and find out it was nerfed before I even got to try it!!
Sigh, I'm always late finding these things.

Doing Chest-run after Chest-run in Nahpui Quarter until I finally got a Celestial Sword..... only to find it was a Lightning Celestial Sword of Pruning with NO damage mod.
Spending two hours gathering up a particularly awkward spawn of Charr in the Northlands and whittling away the Shamans from the groups... pulling them all back to the res shrine.... then going to kill the last Shaman only to have him kite out the exit and me get a lag-spike at exactly that moment.... dragging me along with him and ruining the entirely process.
Leaving a perfect Charr-group death-levelling all night, then all day while I was at work (doing a special DC-RC inbetween to keep the process running).... only to have some sort of connection trouble late during the day and lose the whole thing (no, it wasn't time-out).
Finding out that the Req.9 Inscribable Crude Shield that I had just merched for about 200 gold was worth around 200k.
The Urgoz Warren nerf that happened just today.... (along with the insignia thing, which will totally fvck up any chances of getting cheap "Radiant" armour).

How about , your in a team about to do a mishion , the leader askes if you are redy , you say wait 1 sec, (you just bought a few new skills) the enters mission anyway , and then craks it when you cant rez or heal any1...
If you cant tell , I started a new monk , which also leads me to the fact , if someone on your team agros 5 or 6 GROUPS, runs back behind the monk , and kills evre1 , THEY ALWAYS BLAME THE MONK..... NOT FAIR..

hmm got some:
1: gave a key to a guildy, wich dropped him a req 8 energy +5 plagueborn axe... wich he salvages for a CRUEL AXE HAFT... part of me died when i heard that
2: Doing a FOW chest run when shadow blades where new, party member was killed before he could pick his shadow blade req 9 up.
And the last living party member waited 10 minutes to pick it up and keep it.
3: Getting my second black dye and selling it to a random person, turns out he quickly changed his amount of gold as i didn't get the 7k but 7 gold xD
4:Spree of dmg modd (and even insciption slot)-less rares i got in hard mode.

for me lately, the most annoying thing is finding "pugs" for any hard mode mission on any continent. i prefer to play in "live" groups, as my heros always say the same stuff too me.

Well...
In the early days, when sigils were still worth around 80k each, I had a good HoH run and collected 7 sigils and a few gold weapons. Obviously, I deleted my PvP character and the items along with it.
Oh yeah I sold quite a few gold perfect weapons to the merchant...and a purple 14>50 crystalline...

getting a req 11 15% enchant 20/20 +30hp short sword (when the mods were going for ~70k/each) so i salvaged it, and recieved the pricely sum of 5 steel ignots -.-
when sup vig was 50k and i was a nub i got a gold armor, id'd it and it had sup vig on, however i was a nub, so was like "what is wrong with this game why do they have +50hp on an armor i cant wear" so i merched it, about a week later i realised what i did, in shock.

1. Rezing into a Rez Shrine and automaticly aggroinga mob or two and hitting 60%dp in a minute and then having to start over.
2. Heros - They've basically killed off team play, plus the AI on them is bad.
3. Losing in RA because a team mate "Forgot" to bring a rez.
4. NEVER EVER getting a chest drop after winning in HoH (about a dozen wins there now)
5. Warriors with Metor Shower
6. Mini pets - burn them all I say
7. When someone goes "BRB" for 10-15 mins after you've spent half an hour on a mission and your at the end.
8. Not having an Alliance roster tab so you can see who in your Alliance is online.
9. Buying 2 steel ingots for 2k instead of 200g cause I was not paying attention when filling in the amount. (Suprisingly the seller went offline seconds after the transaction, hmmmm, my fault anyway)
10. People that"GIMME STUFF","Power LvL ME", spam, they are everywhere, in towns, in Guilds, in Alliances, get your crap together and do it yourself, I did.

Mines are related to RC:
1) Getting kicked and called "suxk azz" in an HA PUG as an RC when the teammates refused to know what Signet of Humility is
2) I drew all that dazed DW blind bleeding cripple... from the RC on my team and never got cured ONCE...........because he thought that RC can use on self only

What about people who aren't in a big guild? For some missions you'll be waiting around for hours looking for monks to join your party, only for them to try and tank it. Heroes may not be as good as some human players, but they're a lot better than most random pugs, and cut down the waiting time for missions.
And have you been to Cantha recently? Most of the missions in Factions are completely deserted, and this is only going to get worse as more expansions are released and the sequel gets closer. Henchmen just can't cut it, heroes are pretty much essential at this point.

I accidently used a regular salvage kit on a Gold salvage item without identifying it first. Two very bad mistakes at once...
