I had a W/N in my group in THK who decided it would be a good idea to:
1. Wear presearing armor
2: Wield a staff
3: Spam deathly swarm and occasionaly endure pain (He wasn't tanking or taking any damage at all for that matter, as soon as he did take the slightest scratch he was dead thanks to his armor)

Seriously, how can you get that far in the game and have that little of a clue?

Seeing a Wammo with a Staff actually monk our team, and somehow he did pretty good. Word of Healing, Healing Breeze, Dwayna's Kiss... Heal Sig for himself, Watch Yourself... Quite sad.

Illusion based, using nothing from their primary. Conjure Phantasm ftw.
BiP battery. Our tank needs energy on a constant basis.

Warrior:
Using shields up while tanking.

Mesmer:
Pretty much any mesmer with even the slightest superiority issue. Usually means they're overcompensating.

Necromancer:
Anyone with N/W that uses a melee weapon. Okay, so it's probably understandable in pre searing and maybe Ascalon, but they should wisen up.

Ranger:
Same as above. Don't charge in, you don't have the armour for it and with that mentality, you didn't think of the stances to bring to possible tank either.

Elementalist:
Anyone who thinks that energy storage can compensate for the missing primary attribute for their secondary. Minion Master and Healers are the most common. (healers are understandable if you haven't got a primary monk or you doubt the competancy of them)

A level 20 MM raising level 8 minions(not fiends, not horrors - minions), even after we informed him that we had an MM and asked him to not use corpses. He ended up rage quitting and PM spamming my Guildie and I for a few minutes.

Defend Droks - I'm healing, our fire ele keeps dying after only a few hits. She quickly accumulates -60Dp and calls out "My health is 1 of 1." I thought she was trying to be a 55 ele, well she wasn't, but still had 5 superior runes for some reason. I quit healing her shortly after that, and she finally called the bonder and I noobs and rage quit.

A necro in Thirsty River with a carpace shield and Fellblade.

UW... asian 55 monks who can't communicate beyond map pings, or the ones who always die. What's worse is when I go as monk with pug necros, and they somehow manage to die faster than the crappy 55s. /sigh

Idiot who stand in maelstrom and complain about being interrupted.

Fire Islands - monk standing in the seal, complaining about having no energy.

When I'm healing and I call out that I'm low on energy and the tanks go and aggro everything, die, then bitch at the monks.

Ill tell you when, when you are lying on the ground dead.
Learn to play for yourself and quit worrying about the mistakes others make(blaming them for own your inadequacies), and maybe you'll quit making so many yourself, then maybe, just maybe you'll stay alive a little longer next time.
Seems like the sword wielding N/W from SF and FoW has signed up to fight back!

PvE,

Ranger. Bringing Greater Conflagration in a mass-Warriors + Order-Necro party. It was on a Ring of Fire mission, too.

PvP,

Monk. Bringing the 55 build into RA is just plain silly to begin with. You either die within seconds or you just tank... unless you're this smart cookie who was too busy trash talking to re-cast Protective Spirit against an all Warrior team. To give you some idea of the time frame, let's just say I think he only cast Protective Spirit once during the match. It was "haha, noob warriors can't ki-- dead.

I've 55ed in RA before just for fun. It's fun when you're not facing any mesmers or necros, you basically just sit there and tank and soj/zealots every once in a while to mess with the tanks. The last time I did it the opposing team ended up asking me to die so they could win. "plz die this is boring" "omg just die so we can win" "why won't u die nub?????"

Of course I was just goofing off...

Warrior - continuing to attack a monk when they have SoJ on them. *rolls eyes* A guildy of mine does this (cyclone axe :s )constantly when he tanks the smites in UW, and then he wonders why he dies.

A monk running martyr + purge conditions in HA - and the warrior who said it was necessary for the monk to run this combo.

IW mesmer continuing to attack AFTER all his enchants have been stripped, then wondering why he is doing zero damage.

Ranger - bring pet without actually making use of it - or healing it. Then complaining when their skills are blacked out, and that the monks can't res it.

Ele trying to play an interrupt mesmer

Necro with skills and attributes spread accross more than 3 attributes and no points in SR, and always spamming the channel for energy.

I really hope, for your sake, that it wasn't Hell's Precipice.

Warrior - Don't get jealous just because I have sprint to zoom off! Omg slow nubs. Also bringing 3-4 stances and activating them all at the same time.

Ranger - No points in expertise.

Monk - Failing to understand that Signet of Devotion costs no energy, and is therefore a great emanagement skill. Also counting myself....forming a group with my usual "show me your infused armor" advertisement in Abbadon's Mouth....Forgot to infuse my non-farming armor.

it must be when monks run to the front of a well organized group and think they will 55 everything in FoW and then they die. I hate this

I bring the fast attacking +5 nrg Nolani Wand/+nrg offhands just because I only need 3 weapon sets (since bow isn't needed for pulling) and have the spare room...sometimes the extra nrg that poofs out of nowhere can really help out when you know you need Sprint but won't have enough regen/Zealous regen in time...and since we have adrenaline skills, the negative nrg penalty afterwards doesn't hurt as much.

(Yes yes, Rush is favorable to Sprint, but I prefer reliability)

Well, a complete interrupt-mes build, yeah, dumb. But if you go with the couple skills that net energy gains from a successful spell interrupt, that's how it's done.

Monk: A monk who "forgot" to mention they were all smiting.

PvP:
Warrior: Running a running build
Ranger: Hammer ranger... I ranger in pvp, hammer rangers are just gay. If you want to warrior than just warrior. Don't give Rangers a bad name just cause you don't want to be called a Wammo.
Elementalist: Trying to spike a ranger.... Ranger armor = ele defense... dumb first target for a spike group.
Necro: yet to see a bad necro in pvp.
Mesmer: Ragequit...seriously hard enough for ya to get a group anyways no?
Monk: 55ing in PvP. <---- I agree with this one.

I hate that, really really hate it, entering a mission to see your W/R or R/MO or something has a really low level pet. Which dies, and they use no pet skills and dont even res it, personally I dont see the point in the 10 extra damage a hit from it if its gonna die so easily.

I was doing Gates of Kryta and had a R/Mo who was LFPing spamming he had poison arrows. I made a point of saying before we went into mission that most things were undead so we shudnt use poison, and took apply poison off my W/R.

5 seconds into mission "I'm using Poison arrow" "ZOMG! it didnt work hax"

he also didnt have any monk stuff except Breeze, now personally I really only ever Monk secondary for the res spells, i tend to be pure + res, it, to me is the major reason for having a monk secondary since you odnt even have to use attribute points for the basic res, so why people fail to take advantage of this and risk loosing just to have Charm Animal in their party is anybodies guess.
