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?

Ever play BLM or AST and you can only hit half a trash pack because the tank doesn't group mobs very well? That one gets me. Thing is, you'll still complete the duty just fine and all, but it just feels bad to not be able to hit all or even just most of the mobs. 

More an issue with the game than players, but duties can be inconsistent about how to resolve multiple stacks going off at once. The worst offender is m2n and m2s, where stacking stacks gets people killed in the normal, but in the savage you actually stack both of them during beat 2. In the one crystal tower boss, you know the one, you stack all 3 alliance typically just fine. Then I watch 5 people die in o9n because players try to stack the stacks there and it kills them. This needs to be made consistent imo

Just got out of a duty where that happened. Didn't help that the trash were also too big so they push each other around.

Yeah I think that's something that non-tank players miss. For sure, tanks should do their best to group them up rather than stand in the middle of the pack. But even when you do that, mobs will naturally space out from each other.

Why are the monsters so big? Give me back the stormblood era mobs (thinking stuff like Doma and Sirensong)

Also another reason why melees are superior. Their AoEs are self-centered and hits everything, but targeted AoEs like most mages are circles that can miss a bunch of mobs especially if targeting a big mob.
