Most annoying pet peeve on the golf course?

Spinoff from gym thread...
I've never understood why guys are so proud to brag about finishing a round in under 3 hours. Aren't you there to enjoy yourselves, relax, etc? What's the rush? I like to play at a steady pace, but also like to take my time, evaluate my shot, and get a good score. Not hurry everything up so I can get back to the house with my 20 handicap.
With that said, being a single behind a 4-some of old timers that won't let you play thru as well.

This is #1 on my list followed closely at #2 by the group of young punks behind you that keeps hitting into you despite the fact you can't go any faster due to the old timers in front of you.

I played Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores a few months back, and was the first to tee off (and the guy they were supposed to pair me with was a no-show). Finished my round in an hour and 48 minutes. Shot an 81.
And it's not bragging as much as I just get in a groove and play fairly quickly when I play by myself. Finishing a round in two hours or less is normal for me if the course is empty.

I play much better when I'm on pace for 3 hours. I don't mind taking longer of course.
But my biggest pet peeve is the hack that takes 10 practice swings, acts like a pro, you know the guy. Will always wait for the green to clear on a par 5 because he thinks he has a shot to hit it, even though his drive barely went 200 yards. The absolute worst is when I'm behind a foursome of these winners.

People who don't play ready golf
People who think they need exact yardages
Cheaters
Bad etiquette

And once the green clears he "goes for the green" and chilly dips the ball about 75 yards, and it takes him two more shots to eventually get to the fricking green.

Did you see that gator? I played there two weeks ago and got some nice shots of it in the middle of my backswing.

People that dont repair their divots or just flat out ignore the cart path only or 90 rule.

my slice
I use to have a terrible slice until the golf pro at my home course told me a trick. He told me that when I swing, try to turn the club to the point you actually hit the ball with the toe of the club head. He said you won't actually be able to hit the ball with the toe but what you will do is turn the club over, closing the face, and thus cure your slice. It worked for me.

Drunks on the course. Absolutely my #1 pet peeve.

Other people being on the course. This is my course you asshats what are you doing here???

Slow play by far. You get beginners on the course who look for lost balls, take mulligan after mulligan and the course gets backed up. Many courses have rangers who won't say anything to them either.

And to answer the question of the thread, this is prolly my biggest one:
It's not hard to do, and makes things easier and smoother for everyone.
I know I play fast, but I can't stand when I'm in a nice groove and playing well, only to come up on a group who is taking forever (and not palying ready golf), and they won't let me/us play through. I play much better when I can get to my ball, evaluate the shot, address it, and hit. Driving or walking to my ball and having to sit there for ten minutes absolutely kills my game and infuriates me.
