Shuffling your hand. I get the "mix up the cards" application but you do not need to CONSTANTLY shuffle. 
(shuffle...shuffle...shuffle...)

While playing with someone casualy and they turn around to talk to a friend for about ten mins on my turn, and i cant play anythinf cause they would think im cheating.
Another one is playing against a deck thats not legal in any format and them not telling me before we play.
And last ppl who over price there cards they want to trade because its special to them, and under priceing mine by half because i dnt have a story to tell them about how i got the card.

Id be pissed of if someone tried to pull that crap on me!

Mine would have to be people who just talk crap about my deck. I'm new to mtg and was trying to get the hang of playing before I spent tons of cash on cards. I almost flipped out on a guy at fnm last week because he wouldn't stfu

I have wired pet peeves, so I don't often arc up about them:

•Not tapping or untapping completely, so cards are at a diagonal and all at different angles

•Card sleeve colours not matching the deck colours

•people complaining about the cards I play (I've played for YEEEEAAAARS and often new players hate me playing old school dominance), if you don't like it, don't play outside FNM.

•People complaint about control or counterspell. Why not just complain about life gain, can trip, mana ramp or token gen, they're all just as unfair. If you don't have the skills, tactics or sportsmanship to loose (or even win) gracefully, don't play!!!

•telling me art from another set is better. WHOOOOOOO CAAAAARES!!! I like this art or flavour, that's why I put it in.

... and that's it for now. Lol
Oh man, you do NOT want to play against me then.  XD  I like a nice 45 degree tap on my stuff (always at the same angle mind you), and I intentionally choose sleeves that are different from the deck I'm playing.  WW - Chandra sleeves, RDW - Moonmist sleeves.  I guess those are the only two, I won't complain about your cards or counters.

Also, wrt grabbing my cards, I'm totally fine with letting people handle my stuff, all I ask is for a simple "May I?".  Don't just reach over and riffle through my gy, I know it's public info but seriously!  It's a courtesy and sportsmanship thing.  Respect your opponent.

Also overly dirty cards that are sleeved, why sleeve them if they're in the condition? I heard a story of a guy at my local carshop who was just really dirty and greasy and used it as a strategy. He used a deck where he took control of your cards and since his hands were crazy dirty people just preferred to scoop and not have him touch your cards. He actually won tourneys that way.

Wait, people who ask you the name of your deck?  That bugs you?  Interesting.  Everything else, I can pretty much get, though.

Yeah. Even if I'm playing standard, like at fnm. Theyll be like "oh what deck is that? RDW? Oh well you should add... Or do you have ... In it?" NO it's just a deck I through together based on ideas and good combos. It's not named anything, it's not one of the decks listed on the Internet.

Even my legacy deck. "oh it's affinity, those are okay" NO it's not affinity. Just because you see one or two affinity card does not make the deck affinity.
