People who can't make an original concept.
People who drag their characters through every multiverse, and pretend it's the same person, with the same powers.
People who play a character as if they looked up tsundere, or some other cliche tv-show/anime/manga/movied/etc. ideal and look at it -every- -time- their character has to think about which shoe goes on which foot.
People who are one race, but raised by another. (It's fine in doses, but "ORIGINAL IDEA DO NOT STEAL", guys.)
Dark/Depressing/Completely emo characters with pasts that are filled with parental abuse/parental death. We dig it, it was cool when we were 14 (Heck, I did it too, but at least I -tried- to pretend like my character didn't really care about it, until it was good for SOMEONE ELSE'S PLOT AND NOT MY OWN DRAMA WHORING.)
Drama whores.
Replying TO EVERYTHING. "I agree" SCREW YOU, NO YOU DON'T, KNOW YOUR ROLE, OTHERWISE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT ANYWAY. (Being silly.)
Elves who are actually small, humans who are actually tall, tarutaru/lalafell who're actually psychotic monsters, mithra/mi'qote who are actually manthra/lesbians, Galka who are old and wise and OMGWTF I HAVE DESCENDED FROM SUN TSUNG VON HITLER.
Also:
Characters who speak in tongue outside of regular chat. Accents are cool, overused of course, but cool. But, WE DON'T SPEAK FRENCH IN THE WORLD OF FINAL FANTASY. (This coming from me, who considers "Oui?" and "Non" a piece of the francais/cajun accent.)
There's french in the very naming of locations in the Elven kingdom.
Actually more to the point... We don't speak English there either. English is simply the most widely accepted 'translation' of whatever language is being used in Vanadiel because we're (mostly) Americans. In Germany it's a different case and in Japan it's a different case. If somebody uses French words it's no more absurd that pretending, in game, everyone is speaking English.
Well of course, but that's just my example. When you play a game that has established languages, and someone suddenly starts going "OUI OUI BAGGUETE DU FROMAGE?!" don't you want to slap them?
Depends how it's handled. It can be very condescending.
