Coworkers who do everything in their power to not work or constantly pass the buck. I work with a guy right now who always seems to be away from his keyboard, sometimes for hours at a time, and whenever he's on duty for a certain task, suddenly he has "mysterious errors" and needs the team's help to get it done. He was already like this before he had a kid, but now that he's a dad, he's milking that card for all it's worth. Speaking of...

People who do not shut up about their kid(s), pet(s), or relationship(s). The kid and pet ones (usually dog owners) might be worse since pictures usually follow and then like-minded people join the conversation making it never end. Look, I love my cat, but I don't feel the need to talk about her constantly. On the other hand, baby talk can get genuinely weird and even TMI, and lord help you if you don't have a kid yourself and some older people are around to make the usual comments.

I also find it annoying when people are unable to do their own research on a subject and their first idea is to beg for help. I understand if it's a more technical, specialized thing, but if it's something pertaining to a lighter work matter or doesn't need a specialist, I don't understand why more people don't make use of the most valuable resource ever, the internet (and usually in the palm of their hand) as their first option.
