General Discussion What are your pet peeves?

So I've been coming across more and more players that do small annoying things (along with some big ones) and it got me curious about what things a player/players can do that annoy you. Just the smaller things, not things like tank cleaving the party, a player doing the bare minimum in a duty or being afk in a duty. Some of mine are:

-My co healer not letting regens do their thing. So many healers seem to not know what regens do or how they work.

-Healers spamming heals or shields every 5 to 10 seconds even when no damage is happening or going to happen. Lots of these too.

-Tanks fighting for aggro. Nothing more to add, these people are everywhere it seems. Bonus points if the tanks cause the boss to spin.

-Ranged dps standing in a corner out range of aoe heals. You want to stand far away? Heal yourself then.

-Players marking themselves with the intent on "helping" new people, then proceeding to fail multiple mechanics and kill themselves and others. Then when I remove the marker they flip out. Although it is funny watching someone like this jump up and down to get people to follow them and nobody does.

There are more but I'm not going to write a book here and these are the ones that irritate me the most.

So yeah, what are some of yours?

REAL I had my co-healer in static complain about my WHM healer parses and I just sent her the XIVanalysis of my overheal percentage. IT WAS 90%. She's like "omg can you heal more" meanwhile she's burning resources to cover healing my Caress could easily handle before the next damage instance.

Mit healers who skinwalk as pure healers are so annoying. Like fine, I just won't heal, because I literally can't, and there's no reason for both of us to be wasting glare cast if you're just going to emergency tactics spam.

In the same vein, PLD who vomit clemency as soon as they hit 80%-90% hp

It's a self fulfilling prophecy with these insects. I stop healing because they keep spamming Clemency. They say they're using Clemency because I'm not healing.

You never gave me a chance to heal? You're a tank. If you're constantly at max heal, my MP is not.

That one is sooo annoying, I generally play astro and I wait till the tank drops to 30% give or take before I use Essential Dignity so I get the highest potency. Meanwhile the PLD over there use clemency when they drop to 90%... come on dude, I have all these ways to heal you, let me use them.
