Titan source - before the map jump feature was added you deserved the 50k Xp for just being able to form a party for it.
Iron horse war machine - with the rezoning and the plans dropping for henches the first 3 times you do it (is this fixed yet?)
That mission on the fire islands where you first get to fight a titan at the end and it just stands in the corner sulking while you batter it to death.
The quest in the desert where you have to kill that minotaur that just takes off into the distance most of the time.
Most Annoying Quests.

Anything involving the non-mappable Ascalon Settlement. They even had to put the Wintersday quests around there...arg.

I don't see why everyone hates villany. It was so long and difficult when I did it the first time (not knowing that ToA was a better start area), my guildie and I just kept fighting and then zoning to a new area, then the green star was a looong way away, so we fought there and zoned to a new area and the green star was a looong way away...I really did think it was fun.
I don't like the whole repeat killing of the same groups after a rezone, but even worse are Last Day Dawns and Defend North Kryta Province. I don't hate them because of the quest, but because I spent somewhere near 6 hours each spamming for a group (no one wants a mesmer for LDD?!?!). grrrrr
For some reason people don't want to break the titan's spirit so they can't fight, they just want the holy trinity plus another warrior.

I like every quest or mission as long as they are optional. I hate every mission that cannot be skipped to proceed to the next part of the game.

Uh, it's been a long time, but the most annoying ones I can remember:
Helping the Dwarves
-clearing the same area multiple times in a row, just to fulfil some pretty unrewarding quests is kinda boring
Ranger Master Nentes Quest
-don't remember the actual name, but the one where you have to "sell" your pet to charm him a stalker. Did not want to get rid of my warthog just for a silly quest. That it gives skills didn't make things less annoying for my ranger...

But it gave skills as a reward, and I was too cheap to buy them, so it was goodbye Wolfy until I got to Yak's Bend.

It's particularly anoying since this quest is given on a stage in the game where you probably already explored and cleared the quests in that area (caravan and some mesmer/ele q's)
So you have to go back...walk that bastard through a cleared area because else he will honorably suicide himself on any monster you missed.
And then go back again to kill the other... most annoying.
most q's are quite 'mixable' so this won't happen but this one always bites the most.

My most hated mission is the Aurora Glade for several reasons
1st never seems to be many people in the district so your choices for making up a team are limited, never see any monks.
2nd most pug teams that I have been in have failed at least 2x before finally getting past the 3 portals.
3rd is that we always seem to get 1 or 2 rage quitters after failing to get the bonus mission. I did this mission 4x last night and still was not able to move past the mission with my lv19 necro /mo.
I agree with witchdoctor
With out a doubt the jungle is the worst area in the game.

Besides the ones mentioned I was also not fond of the Nebo Terrace murder quest (or any of the others connected with it like the blanket quest). Seemed like you had to fight your way through that valley full of Tengu about 3 - 4 times to get everything settled.
I'm pretty much not a fan of any of the quests that make you traverse the same map multiple times, give some lame item and 500xp. It's simply not worth doing unless you just enjoy the scenery.

No, you have it ALL wrong.
The most annoying quest is the ranger quest from Artemis in the Shiverpeaks.
First off, its on the way to the Helping the Dwarves Quest, which you end up having to do. Then you finally complete that one, and NO ONE will help you get BACK to Artemis before she DIES (why? Because you're the ranger).
Can you simply run to Artemis before the Stone Summit KILL her? NO! The ice golems hit you with deep freeze, and you can...not....move.
And what do you get for this? Winter. A skill you don't even need until you get to Hell's Precipice, when EVERYONE wants a ranger with winter (whom they didn't help get it).

I never take the tengu route any longer.
Leave LA and go towards the swamp and cut through that just briefly towards giant's basin. You can get to the settlement much easier that way (indirect path, but safer)
Then go to Nebo Terrace, and hug the right hand side when you make that conrner and go to the guys for blanket and you don't have to fight anything.
With Henchies you can then run into bettletun with any character.
Use Beetletun as your launching point to get back to Nebo or AS from now on. Then go to Bergen get the quest updated, warp back to Beetle, go back out and get the quests updated. All Done.
A couple of other notes from other posters:
I believe the Nente quest is called "Endangered Species"

The Artemis quest is annoying, but usually if you run up and agro the group they won't attack her unless they already are. If they are you might as well rezone because you will probably not be able to get to her in time. If you party is being jerks and not helping that's just sad. Get the agro and try to lead them back to them and force them to fight
Carinae
The Abaddon's Mouth bonus has to be the most annoying.
You have to clear the path all the way to the bonus (including some wurms), then go back, free the girl, and WAIT WAIT WAIT (approximately eternity plus infinity) for her to walk to the Fortress Gate. Speed boosts don't speed her up.
THEN when she gets near the exit, she TURNS AROUND and WALKS BACK nearly to the start point! THEN she TURNS AROUND again and walks back to the gate.....
WHERE SHE STARTS RUNNING!

I hate them all... that's why I love completing them. My hatred for quests makes me just wanna get out there and beat the crap out of the quests.
Sir Skullcrasher
The holiay quest that we got during X-Mas were annoying since you have to either asked someone where the items is located or (like me) go everywhere to look for them!
Cherng Butter
i hate most of the quests in the game, namely because i do them with henchmen because they aren't important enough for PUG's...they get dull rather quick, and not having people to chat with haves me end up just pressing numbers idly on my keyboard...
...the quests that have you zone to another outpost to talk to a guy are nice tho, haha

All of Minaar's quests. I hate that I have to go back to the Iron Horse Mine 3 times, and clear out all the monsters all over again each visit -_-

I agree
--
Also The titan quests - not because of the quest in general, but because it is VERY VERY difficult to find a group to complete it, especially the Titans Source. near impossible to get a group unless you go with friends/guild mates.
Cacheelma
ummmmm.... I hate Bonus quest of "Divinity Coast". It seems sooo easy, yet you usually end up lost 1 of the chosens, thus fail the bonus entirely.

I'd say just about all the North Shiverpeak quests. For some reason it is hard getting a party together to do them. It's not far enough into the game where everyone is experienced and it's hard enough where level 7-8 characters (you know who you are) don't make things any easier. The Stone Summit are my most hated of enemies because they always seem to have a necro/mesmer in the mob who strip enchantments (not to mention empathy/pacifism that's so annoying as a warrior).
Gonzo
Well getting a party together in Northern Shiverpeaks isn't all that hard. This is about the only part of the game which I almost always PUG.
Kriel Drache
Hmm... for me it would be Aurora Glade and the portal attunement. Unless the team knows what it's doing (which it rarely does whenver I've tried it), it's a vicious cycle of running crystals which will go on forever because the people who aren't running the crystals are too busy attacking the White Mantle instead of THEIR crystal runner, so it's a vicious cycle of never getting it done and eventually everyone dies.
Winterclaw
For missions:
Elbonia Reach
Thunderhead Keep
And that bonus where you have to awaken the guardians.
For quests:
Galrath's (I did it with one PC, and I'm not doing it again)
Iron horse mine trio (only redeeming part about it is you can get to ice tooth easily)
2nd one for +15 skill points (just annoyed me)

I'll have to agree with the lost pig, titan quests, and helping the dwarves.
lost pig - This one always bugged me, because I don't find it enjoyable to chase a little piggy around that has unpredictable movements. Since there's usually some important spells on that quest I find myself doing it every time. "I know yous the hero in the game n all, but it's time to chase some piggies YEEHAW!" What in the world is up with that?
titan quests - Not because they're hard for me, but I can't get a dam group to DO them. Unless of course, I'm a monk, warrior, or ranger, and sometimes (not always) necro.
Helping the dwarves - just plain annoying. Hey little guy, I just got you the plans, now do your own dirty work, I fullfilled my end of the bargain. Lazy dwarves, lol.

I wish all the quests were as easy as that stupid pig-herding. If not for the surprise Ettin rush I would've gotten it done on the first try. He moves VERY predictably if you don't try to run him over :P .. gimme free skills for herding a pig, I'd do it all bloody night

For me its just any quest with an ally in. If they die then your whole party fails the mission. Especially Killroy Stoneskin in Sorows Furnace. He justs rushes in and gets killed and the whole missions failed. And you've got to walk back into sorrows furnace to do it again. I want to be nuking or disabling my enemies not looking after some insane dwarf.
Apart from that the hog quest kinda got on my nerves. when the ettins attack you get distracted and lose the hog. Ah well, done it now...

I didn't like Eye for Profit at all. It's a long trek, filled with wind riders, devourers, scarabs and spiders. As for missions, Ruins of Surmia is by far the worst. It's really long, the bonus is hard to do with a PUG (since someone usually attacks the ember bearers too early despite warnings), and after all the walking it's still possible to get killed in the obelisk phase, if everyone doesn't pay attention.

Killroy waits for you, at certain places on the map, until it rushes towards the mobs.
Rurik didn't wait, ever. These days, it's easy, as Rurik follows you, instead of rushing.
Rurik, Whammo in the worst sense.
But, the most annoying quests are Helping the Dwarves and Blood&Smoke. They just aren't any fun.
jackie
All missions around Post Apocalyptic Ascalon area 
...It is just sad looking place to play after Pre-Searing and actually it still doesnt inspire to walk there after almost one year of playing.

Some quests are so annoying I just skip it. I only do Galrath because I get more Exp. doing the quest than at the end (w/ scrolls of course). Monk's Path now is pretty annoying though, damn Scarabs...
