-Flopping the nuts only to have it turn into the second nuts on the turn

-Cold decks

-Constantly having to remind people in my home games that a raise must be at least double the last bet, only to have them say, "Oh, really? Ok then, I just call"

Raising preflop, c betting and betting and betting - knowing the entire time that I am beat -and doing it anyway.

Playing too many hands because I'm bored or whatever.

Hanging on to middle pair too long.

Playing scared because I'm over my head.

Yes, these are all things that I do that piss me off. So it should be easy to not get pissed off but.......

The worst thing about poker to me, is how people can be so wrong, so terrible, so horrible, and still be 100% of how great they are.

There are many aspects of life this occurs, it's human nature I guess, and we all have it to various degrees.

But it can be so blatent and glaring in poker it's enough to drive you insane.

Totally agree on this one, I have had so many arguments over this where every single other person wont listen that I just don't even both anymore.
In Australia there is a company that runs free entry NLHE tournaments at various pubs, and I have tried to argue this with 3 different tournament directors and none of them would agree. Even after I printed the ruling from 3 online sites and the local casino. One of the TD's even tried to tell me that she plays at pacific poker and she is able to raise whatever the blind and not double the bet.

Thats another thing I hate, people who will not admit they are wrong, even when you provide proof from multiple sources.

Playing in my home game with the people who are relativly new to poker. Don't know why but they always think that K A 2 3 4 is a legit strait. These are my friends, i know they are not trying to cheat me out of money. I just hate raking in the pot when its against my friends and they thought they had the legit best hand.

Missing the flop, over and over and over and over...hiting the flop, and then getting sucked out on.
