Nothing really gets me mad, but as far as things that annoy me here, there are a few.

Unncessary rudeness tops the list, especially when the reviewer tries to mask their lack of tact as a form of helping. It's one thing to give direct feedback and criticism, but when someone calls a story "trash" or "stupid," that is not an attempt to help the writer, but just a chance to be an asshole and try to justify it.

On the flip side, it is rather annoying, especially as an admin, when a story is posted that greatly fails to mee the QS, and then the writer becomes angry and tries to play the vicitm when the story is deleted. This site has some of the easiest to understand rules when it comes to quality expectations, and I just can't wrap my head around it when a writer posts something that was written with almost no effort and then becomes defensive when said story is removed.

Self loathing is another big pet peeve of mine. When someone writes a pasta and actually states in the author notes something like: I know this sucks but I hope you guys like it. That irritates me beyond words, because if the writer cannot support his/her own work, how can they expect the community to get behind it. It also comes across as pity/compliment fishing, hoping that someone will give them a pat on the head to try and cheer them up.
