I'm a host, so my gripes are with players really.

The biggest one is that no one shows up on time, or maybe a few do so I have to tell the punctual ones to come a little late, etc. But let's say I want to do something, I have to put it off because I can't start it because someone might show up. It's extremly annoying, and makes me want to not host the games. But I've tried that and the result is basically no poker games until I take it up again, and I need poker as much as anyone else.

Said players coming and leaving their drinks/food wrappings lying around my house.

When people complain about house rules. We allow players not in the blinds to do the live straddle, doubling the big blind, and re-straddles are allowed (rare). Had one player who would question it everytime it was done and say he'd prefer if it was not done. Sorry, but if you're new to a game, and everyone accepts it, and also isn't really that rare, get used to it.
