1) sellers raving over their 1970S proof lincolns with the commonplace ringed target rainbow color. This date/mm is commonly target rainbow toned because of some unique packaging factor that year.
2) Ho Hum double mint sets, especially ones with obvious switched out coins, being raved over by sellers
What would you say bothers you most in the market, that you recognize only bothers you because you have totally geeked out over, and are extremely familiar with, a series?

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Unprofessional wannabe dealers who think buying $100 worth of stock deserves a wholesale price, wasting my time trying to chisel me down, take forever to mull it over and then never get back to me.

In regards to the OP's #1: I had a really nice ANACS PF68 example. No hazy stuff, just nice rim toned colors all the way around the obverse. There's all these people with 66, 67 examples and they are listing them at $300+ etc. I did a 7 day auction with mine with very good photos etc....sold for $23!
Lucky for me, I had $40 in it so I only lost $20 or so, one of the few times I have lost money on a coin. No biggie in that example. I did think it would sell for at least $30 though.
In regards to the OP's #2: I never have understood a bunch of crusty and downright ugly coins sitting in ugly worthless cardboard/paper selling for a premium over what the value of each coin added up would be. To each their own I guess.
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
That problem showed up on a lot of 1970-S Proof sets back in the mid 1970s. It was considered to be a negative, not a plus. I see nothing attractive about those coins. They were victims of poor mint packaging or poor mint practices concerning the rinsing of planchets before the coins were struck.
I totally agree. I am sick of both families having so much of a hold on our national politics.

I don't like asking my LCS if they have "XYZ" and their response is an emphatic "No"... then goes on to list many XYZ coins on their eBay store.

I don't like having to go back and add double breaks to every paragraph in every post I make, and I sure wish I could post some pics like I used to except that it seems like way too much work for no reason.

2) Rude obnoxious people at coin shows who try to nose in on a transaction or conversation in which they are not involved.
3) Overuse of the "rare" adjective. Most US coins that trade hands are not rare.
4) Folks who don't think about those who came before us, who at times had a really rough existence and paved the way for us so that we could have a truly great life. I heard some guy on a radio call-in show several days ago complaining bitterly that he had lost his cell phone AND his car wouldn't start, and that it was the worst day of his life.
Sir, I would say that you have been very fortunate if that was the worst experience you've had.
Im sick that everytime I turn around another one of my friends has died. But, as grandma said in The Grapes of Wrath, " the little fellers just keep a comin'." There's hope in that.
Being on the forums recently has been very sobering. It's been a motivator for me to share my collection more but I need to get some better photo gear so that's a new priority.
