    1. The soap opera affect - when people assume anything said is aimed directly at them, and the person saying it doesn't even know them, once more is thinking of them.

    2. The long time it takes to get from question to answer space because of the ads in between.

    3. That the company named Yahoo could care so little about what's going on.

    4. The amount of sheer stupidity, laziness and haughtiness.

    Whoops. 4 things usually isn't the "right number" for a list, but that covers it.

    The Top Contributor badge being so easy to get and not meaning quality of answers just quantity.

    Those that are a top contributor in one category but troll in other ones.

    The fact that someone can get suspended and be right back the next day posting the same wrong information and ranting at other users.

    Minor irritants are those who do not choose a best answer, the thumbs up and down, those that complain about people asking here instead of using Google to find the answer (ironic that they are here asking Why).

    The How do i ask a question when they know how that is now a troll question and those that answer it with violations or those that answer without looking to see how many they have asked just to get two points and do not report the violations posted.
