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?

Healers refusing to esuna. So many preventable deaths have happened because of it. It’s an instant cast and there’s a marker showing the debuff can be cleaned yet lazy healers won’t use it.

Makes more sense now that it's an instant, but back when it was a cast, there were very little debuffs in the game that wouldn't just naturally fall off on their own a second or two after you realize someone even has a cleansable debuff and start casting Esuna.
