Two pet hates:
1. Boats that are berthed with pulpit/bow rollers/anchors protruding halfway across the marina walkway. Always at head banging height. Sometimes there are two facing each other that almost block the pontoon off completely. Owners always moan that the finger pontoons aren't long enough, but there's no excuse really.
2. Wavers. Sitting on my mooring on a Sunday afternoon, people seem unable to resist the urge to wave at me. Now I'm a polite man, but after about 20 or 30 waves it all gets a bit irritating. Maybe I'm popular, but there's a limit...so if I see a potential waver I try and avoid eye contact. Worst offenders are husbands and wives - they always wave separately, one after the other. Couldn't they have a conflab and have a joint wave, then I've only got one wave to return, not two. I expect now that I've now that I've aired that grievance on the forum it'll only get worse...
