People who say "Can I trade this Mini Fungal Wallow for your Req. 8 15^50, 20/20, +30 Voltaic Spear?"
People who says that their build is good enough for a mission but they don't dare to ping it.
AFK Monks!

People who actually take this game serious enough to have a pet peeve...including myself.

Trying to click on something or someone and missing, so you either end up running to a spot you clicked on by mistake and have to keep clicking until you finally get what you want. And when it's a foe they're already dead so all that clicking was for nothing (but I'm referring to items I'm trying to pick up).

I dont ping my build for Pugs ever. Not because im not confident in my build but because theres ALWAYS some idiot who thinks their build is the "best" build and you should use theirs instead when half the time their build sucks.

People in PUGS who say ready, then are afk when you start mission, or leave at the start.
Grumpy people in AB who get bitter easily. An example was when I got a guest invite to a Lux guild the other night to raise faction, I was using my monk with my normal PvE build minus a rez for giggles. We lost the round but I survived a good minute or 2 abuse from some warriors attacking me. They said "gg" in local, but one of my party was moaning at me for not being there to heal him, despite splitting from the group -_-
Errrm. Trading. When you spend ages selling something, finally get a potential buyer and they just cancel the trade without saying anything. Or ask you to go to their district, then say no...

I'd have to say that not much really bothers me - AFK and PuG's and such are part of the challenge for me, I guess.
So what does bother me? When you're forming a PuG and you lack a certain chara, let's use a monk as an example. So one of your party rushes around town pointing out every single monk (e.g., "I'm following Jane Doe", "I'm following John Doe", etc). We're advertising for a monk... if they wanted to join for this quest or mission, they would, so stop pointing them all out.... we aren't completely oblivious to the game world around us, we do see the monk standing by storage.

FYI there are only so many here because of the lack of updates lol
Random trading and the person says, "Money for the poor please" or "It's Christmas".
Knowing I could have interrupted someone's heal but I thought they'd be dead and didn't want to waste my skill and energy, but they didn't die so they healed and we have to fight them some more.
Conjuring up lots of energy to cast on something that won't die, then it dies the second after you cast it.
Dialogs constantly popping up while I'm trying to focus on the mission/task at hand (especially Minister Cho's Estate after you've heard it a million times)
Reclaming the Temple quest - every time you kill a Margonite group, the guards have some weird/annoying dialog to say.
MM's always dying first, and then we have their minions to fight along with the current foes, which are usually mobs.
Lack of green drops (after you kill a boss so many times on a certain char the green should drop, and the only ones that ever drop for me are the bad ones no one wants-I had to buy the good ones)
Being mobbed and killed during PVP when I'm not even doing anything but running, not even a threat
People in AB who don't understand the meaning of the word CAP
Walking on a bridge or trying to and your feet get stuck so it just spins you in circles and you have to go around, when you're trying not to aggro
Getting a boss bounty when no boss is around
Constant slowdowns in snowman lair or anywhere else you're trying to run
Oola's Lab (I hate that fire dart thing)
Hunt rampage going away when you get right to a big group of monsters
Heroes and henchies somehow constantly dying in the snowman lair...how is that even possible? It's so easy
Having to switch districts every time you want to redo a dungeon, since it won't register that you can do it again (no ! above the npc's head, you just get the reward and that's it)
Giant rocks, snowballs, etc. coming out of nowhere and wiping everyone out (luckily there's no DP)
Getting a PUG and someone zones while you're typing to someone so it cuts you off
THIS (how is that possibly obstructed?!):

Using troll unguent and dying right then
Trying to heal or res your pet and it dies so your skills recharge
Good things dropping for afk people or noobs that like to draw stupid things on the map or just act stupid like continuously spamming and trying to be funny but failing
Bosses dropping whites...the least they could drop is a purple and some cash
Everyone but you getting at least one good drop (Sometimes multiples while all you get is whites)
At the start of AB, someone suddenly says, "Sorry I've g2g" and leaves...if they knew they had to leave they shouldn't have been online in the first place
When you have plenty of energy (and with expertise as a primary, this is even worse) and it says Not enough energy constantly
During AB when people kill the npc's at the shrine, they run off without capping it
Big mobs attacking one single person for no reason in AB

Ouchie
My Character has no defined toes just a square kinda looking foot
My character looses her hair to wear a hat
People who take everything in game too serious
the noise that beetles make (makes me kringe)
Talon's grunts (sounds like he is dying when we run long distances)
The end to the Gwen Saga - I thought that there would be more than just she grew up somewhere else hating char - in fact she should marry a char!
There was never a funeral service for Togo
My Melandru's Stalker doesn't get it's own statue in HoM
My Warrior's Bear's Name ---- Pet-Peeves

I really don't like the sheer rudeness of a lot of people on Guild Wars, the aforementioned rank spammers, people to whom everyone else is inferior and use n00b every other word. I've gone back to City of Heroes/Villains and everyone there is so nice and polite, it makes me see what a hotbed of irritating unpleasantness the gw community can be (i have local and trade muted practically all the time).
Polymock. What an awful game. I eventually finished it to get the mursaat summon after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and have no intention to play it again.
People who whinge that gw is broken because their prissy grinding build is broken - try making a build yourself, see what you can come up with. My Necro's build is exactly that, it might not be the best build evar teh 1111111 but it does the job well enough. I do admit to being a subscriber to the 3 necro build, but if it gets nerfed somehow i'm not going to complain about it (partly because I hardly play gw anymore so it's not a big concern).
Poor grammar/spelling. While in combat trying to type something fast can lead to spelling errors, that is not the issue. I HATE l33t5p33|<. It was cool a couple of years ago, get over it. In towns you have all the time in the world, spell properly. If you run out of space, press enter twice and keep on typing!
Again the aforementioned people claiming uberness due to their armour/weapons. Great, good for you.
I also agree with people to whom you are trying to sell who stand their not accepting, or agree to buy something then map out or try to rinse you. I'm not blind I can see the numbers changing.
People who refuse to accept that they themselves were once a n00b, laughing at new players. Hypocrites.
I think i've ranted enough for now. I'm sure more will come to mind later.
Veripare
While helping out a newbie in my guild get max armor by giving him all of the steel and half the iron required. I even gave him a superior absorbtion and a superior vigor rune to help him. After he got his armor he promptly left and added me to his ignore list.
Mind you this was back in the day when those runes were worth more then 80K each and steel wasn't the cheapest material around either.

Amongst players, it'd have to be people who are doing the Duncan dungeon in Slaver's Exile not having killed the previous bosses despite claiming that they have. Closed doors get to be annoying after 5 attempts. Having something check for access would be nice - similar to Zhellix and getting to Mallyx, except just checking in this case.
Oso Minar
Trading in general. 
Oukanna
I hate spammers.
People who ask to join your guild or say they will join and leave 5 mins later (when asked they say i dont know)
The horrid circle of HA, you cant get a good team unless you have a high rank, but you cant get that high rank until you get let in good groups....
Also people adding you in HA, you got the build they want, you know how to use it, but when they ask rank and you dont have one high enough they just say byee and kick you, thats just plain rude!
People begging in towns for 100gold to open storage, or just begging for a few gold. its simple, you go outside and kill a couple of things and wow you got yourself 100gold easy!.
catching out a scammer, so you tell them to stop scamming in local, to which they pm you over and over calling you all the names under the sun xDD pathetic really.
Also rage quitters.
Tender wolf i know how you feel, the awful "obstructed" its like IM STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU, HOW THE f*** CAN YOU BE OBSTRUCTED xDDD yeah that gets on my nerves.

People who will NOT start off missions until they have personaly approved each and every build. Also people who kick others from mission/quest groups because the build won't work in thier very limited opinon.

People adding me and kicking me shortly after because - gasp - it's not a bunny thumper or touch ranger build, or freaking out because they just realized they invited a ranger.
genofreek
I don't mind pinging my build much. It's good to get some synergy, and weeding out the really obvious shit like wars with Meteor Shower or ranger secondaries with Charm/Comfort Animal is never the terrible oppressive issue they make it out to be. Besides, if someone's correction is crap, about three people will call them on it within five seconds.
New pet peeves: people who get all passive-aggressive while arguing. You know how do to the mission/bonus/quest, they don't, but when you try to guide or lead, they're all "i've been playing this game since beta and i've done this a million times but w/e"
I'm not trying to be pushy or rude, but if I know what to do and no one else takes the lead first, I'm going to step in.

Bosses that party whipe you in one or two attacks.On normal mode. I handle it of course , but give the casuals a break. Also, why do even the total newbies have to get trough Shards of Orr to reach Gadd's encampment? The place EATS casuals.
And i don't like that the game records how many times you died. (720 now) I don't want Anet to know it. They can blackmail me.

1. People who continually whisper you with WTB, spam, insults, whatever and then put themselves on Do Not Disturb, that's lower than low..
2. People who try to boss others around in PvE or PvP, but don't seem to know the tiniest bit about tactics!
3. Rage-quitters.. who are often terrible players, only seem to live to insult other people, often have crappy builds or builds they stole but don't know how to play and then quit when things go badly and then wonder why they always lose LOL
And finally a personal favorite of mine:
4. Warriors that go after my flashy birdy pet everytime in AB while I stand there scratching my head as I completely negate whatever damage they're doing with Heal as One...

People who criticize builds mainly.
Unless the build is obviously flawed (Hamstorm), shut your mouth and see what happens. 9 times out of 10, you are not the smartest person in the party.

-People that never turn Caps Lock off.
-People that say, "WTB Ectos 4.5k, WTS Ectos 5k" all in the same line.
-People on the Local side of Vizunah Square who let Togo die despite your stringent efforts to explain that he's likely to be targetted by Afflicted.

When you get KO'd in dwraven boxing dungeon it gives you full health and energy for a second because it has to reset it (for the number of times youve been ko'd) I thought I had full energy and I minimized for a second, only to come back to my dead survivor

Edited to stay on topic: eye-grabbing seller spam, especially when info like prices or specifics are tossed aside to make room for pointless punctuation, like "@@@@@~~~*~*~--->WTS GREENS<---~*~*~~~@@@@@"
Edit 2: I haven't done Shards of Orr since GW:EN's release, but it wasn't so bad except for the mobs camping the rez shrine. :P

Also, the first level of Shards of Orr has been toned down far, far below what it was on release. It was hard at release. Now, you have to fight like 2 mobs, maybe; everything else has been dispersed so much you can walk past them.

Happened today. We got lucky and got a great monk in RA. Unfortunately our necro we got thought he was frontline material and kept running in. The real peeve? He got mad at us for hanging back initially. Luckily, our monk was really good and we got the 10 wins before a TA team beat us.
