What do you HATE that everybody else seems to LOVE in the hobby?

I'm the aquatics expert at Petco while attending college and the thing that bugs me more than anything are...
1) people who think you can add water and fish and you have a new pet
2) people who think they can put any kind of fish with any other kind of fish and be successful fish keepers
3) goldfish...I just can't get into them
4) small community fish like neon tetras and danios (just not fun to me)
I love my big fish!

I have a few things that peeve me:
Fad buyers-people who buy fish because they are cool or trendy at that time.
Airstones- I hate bubbles in my tank water.
Kitch decor pieces- Sorry Mr. Scuba diver next to the LED lit volcano, time to move house.
Redtailed cats and Tigershovel nose cats
Unnaturally colored gravel
Scenic backgrounds

Catfish really irk me. i don't understand peoples interest in them... It boggles my mind... their big, fat, slow, messy, ugly,...
I don't really hate any kind of fish anymore. I used to not like plecos very much, but they're growing on me.
I like most type fish. I just hate it when ppl post and think they know it all but they don't...and unexperienced ppl owning monster fishes in small sized aquariums for life..
fish elitism. people questing for that ever more trendy fish.
I guess I just think that people should keep fish that they enjoy instead of keeping up with the Jones'.

Hater to the following:
-Silver dollars
-Bowfront/hex tanks.
-HOB filters on large tanks.
-Fake wood. (so easy to get real wood???)
-Colored gravel (blue, pink etc..)
-People that type in "text" instead of spelling actual words... (what's the attraction?)
-Bare bottom tanks with decor. (same as a bakini with camel toe, we can all tell what's under there, go bare or don't...)

I cant stand neon pink substrate, with silver and neon blue plastic plants with the multi neon colored ceramic "cave's".
I also loathe seeing Oscars/RTC/aro's etc in 40g tanks, it makes me sick.
I espcially hate the idiot who tries to tell me his sickly looking blueberry oscar or jellybean parrot is infact a wild caught fish straight from the amazon.
And you know what really GRINDS MY GEARS? That girly hygine product at pets mart who tries to convince me that anything more than a 20% water change every other week will kill my fish and that 50ppm NO3 is just fine.
