For me it would probably be:

Not reading the OP properly and going off on a tangent
Pulling a thread totally OT in order to have a two way jokey conversation with someone else that goes on for pages and pages
Looking up someone's posting history and saying 'well on 5th April 2006 you said this and now you're saying that.

Grin at ginger upmanship Worra!

I hate it when posters exagerrate beyond all recongnition based on a few words that another poster has written. eg:

AIBU to be slightly concerned about my friends extremely overweight children?

I cannot believe the fattism on Mumsnet these days. Why dont we just line up all people over a size 12 and execute them by firing squad. Thats what you want isnt it. ISNT IT!

Erm no.....

I got this mental image of worra looking like a triple hard bastard. I think pink crocs would be really ironical.

Absy · 24/01/2013 16:46

I think insulting an entire nation is a MN first LaQ.

It's what I aspire to. I keep on just mildly annoying a social class, and it's just not the same.

"My child is ASD/SN"

Yes, I agree.

Posters who come on a thread just to say "this is too long, I don't have time to read a novel". It usually happens with OPs who are vulnerable/sensitive and it pisses me right off.

PickledInAPearTree · 24/01/2013 16:46

I love the sense of humour fail ones. love em!

Fakebook · 24/01/2013 16:46

Posting whilst drunk. Mildly pathetic and uber attention seeking.

Hello Hully, hello Pag, hello Honey, hello Tufty, hello sky all.

Snowflakes...or as I call them, snowfakes.
So obviously contrived and put on for effect. Stop it at once, silly women.

Hully and the dead neighbours one was marvellous. I think that was the first serious March of the Po.

Hullygully · 24/01/2013 16:49

I saw FabbyChic yesterday somewhere

The car sex appears to have ceased. I shall go and peruse the laundry Sad

Bonsoir · 24/01/2013 16:49

The single most annoying thing is when posters paraphrase you inaccurately, making a different point (and sometimes even the opposite point) to the one you were making, and then pick a fight with you on the basis of what you didn't say!

Is the dead neighbours one still about or did it get deleted?

atthewelles · 24/01/2013 16:50

People who come on a thread that has clearly been titled 'Thread about 4x4s' simply to say 'oh not this again. How many times have we had this thread? Yawn'.

Eh, it's not compulsory to open every single thread you know?

Viviennemary · 24/01/2013 16:50

I hate complaints about spelling and grammar. Especially posts who say well if only you could spell we might take you more seriously. Dreadful! I also hate people diving in and taking great delight telling somebody their partners are a waste of space and totally awful and they should leave immediately and they certainly wouldn't put up with anyone like that. Sometimes they are 100% dreadful but not always.

WorraLiberty · 24/01/2013 16:51

"I didn't want to read and run"

Psssst....they can't see you, you know?

Touchmybum · 24/01/2013 16:52

I hate poor spelling and grammar!

PickledInAPearTree · 24/01/2013 16:52

Spelling ones are vvv annoying especially when the OP is really upset or something.

My husbeands just left me

Learn to spell you twat!

Horrible!

Hullygully · 24/01/2013 16:53

I can't find dead neighbours Sad

I've started too many threads...
