None of the above. My tops would be things like table minimums above my comfort level, drunks and other obnoxious folks at the table polluting the game environment, the occasional surly crew, and (of course) the dice not behaving to my liking.

Losing.

Heck, a guy who switches from Wrong to Right when he himself is shooting is simply being courteous to the vast multitudes at the table who foolishly think his betting against himself will somehow make a difference. I stay on the DontPass when I shoot. And I ignore anyone who opens their yap about it.

My biggest pet peeve is losing.
Second pet peeve is loud raucous behavior.
Third is Dice Fondlers who want to go through various incantations and manipulations before they throw the darned things!

Late bettors.
The dice are in the center for six minutes, but as soon as the dice move - bang - four last minute prop bets are thrown in over the moving dice.
Gambling doesn't build character, it reveals..no character. But a lot of characters.

Have to disagree with you there. Maybe that's why you would switch but I bet 95% of don't bettors who switch to pass when they shoot are in essence saying "screw you goofballs and everybody else, now watch how it's done."

My biggest pet peeve would actually be players who seem to try and knock as many stack over with the dice as possible. I don't know if they are oblivious or what, but lots of open table and dice flying into cheques.

I'd say my pet peeve is a cross between the suits complaining about how you roll and people stacking chips right in the path of where the dice is being thrown. That and people jumping over your shoulders to place a bet at a full table. Always feel like I'm going to get robbed on the spot when someone does that. Don't step on the shooter's toes and don't step on mine either!

From the other perspective, you just reminded me of another of my peeves: a crowded table with so many chips in play that I can't find a place to throw the dice without hitting a stack -- line bets and odds at every position, multiple stacks of come bets, multiple stacks of field bets, and of course everything up on the numbers. Sometimes it seems like trying to get a ball to drop straight through a pachinko machine without hitting a pin.

I know that there is no one for me to be peeved toward, it's just a situation where I have this dream of everyone scooting their chips a little one way or the other so I have a clear path to the back wall. Once the dice hit the pyramids, I'll not worry if they bounce wherever, even back into someone's stack.

I can't stand people who bet the pass line and the don't pass line to take the odds bet "for free". I can't convince them of how stupid this is.
