This is going to be a long thread.
I guess a recent pet peeve of mine is the whole "if you don't like it, don't RP with me" attitude. Show a little respect for your community. If something you're saying or doing is bothering people, consider simply not doing it. A healthy community is one that freely exchanges criticism and feedback.
RP is a social activity so it's ultimately not something that you just do for yourself.
This actually doesn't bother me as much as it seems to bother everyone else. I know better than to behave as though I'm mind-reading, and I can use it to sort of understand the character's facial expression or body language. It can also give me the feeling of our interaction forming a bit of a story where I can look back on it and know what happened more clearly.
I don't do it myself though.
