People who don't know to staple things once only and in the upper left corner of the paper.
SG-1 fanfic writers that write J/S ship while they are still in the direct chain of command. Putting everything else aside, Jack would never do it and certainly not do it casually and repeatedly. This was a man who, while in a time-loop and knowing that nothing he did would be remembered or have any consequences, still resigned his commission before even kissing Sam, for crying out loud. And he timed that so all that they would have time to do is kiss. If you have to ship them, please, I beg of you, at least address that particular canonical fact.
My airport flakin' out on me and therefore me having very restricted Internet access at home.
Having a work ethic that doesn't allow me to spend more than my break time at work catching up on my usual Internet activities.
People who complain about the governor declaring a 'draught emergency' on a day when some people did get some rain -- the keyword being some -- not everyone and certainly not around here. Why not take a ride out into the country and see the corn curling up in the fields and talk to the farmers who are already feeding hay to their animals because there is no good grazing available. Or better yet, just check out the people around who aren't wasting water by putting on their lawns. That dead brown look may be perfect for Arizona or Southern California, but it's not normal here.
The next door neighbor, whose alarm starts going off at 5 am and is still "beep-beep-beep beep-beep-beeping" at 7 when I leave the house.
ME. For getting hung up on the name for a race of people in my book and, rather than just putting nothing in and keep writing, I obsess and try to find the perfect word. I just can't seem to write about them without naming them correctly. I want it to be a concocted word (in other words, not a real one) and I want it to sound menacing and dangerous, but not completely evil. They are my world's version of Orks/Uruk-Hai, but I don't want them to be created evil; they a warrior people who fight for hire. But I need to write and I'm thinking this is just a way of stalling.
Despite how it looks, I'm not really in a bad mood, just irritated.

One of the most brilliant character moments in anything EVER. And yes, people completely ignoring its significance make me want to tear their hair out. Because I like mine where it is.

Oh, man, I've done this! This time round, I resolved to plug in the first combination of syllables that came to mind, and do a global search/replace later as needed. So far it looks like the planet is going to stay the same and the poisonous plant will probably change. But we're only a few pages in, so who knows?

And the people who don't get that a few drops of rain doesn't end a generalized state of emergency.
I think you should call the race in your book the Yanix (plural unchanging: one Yanix, four Yanix). And then, later, if you like another name better, you can go do a search-replace. :-)
