Most Annoying Things You Encounter In-Game?

Thought we could all let off some steam and share some funny stories and pet peeves. What are the most annoying questions you get/have gotten from people in-game?

Mine are:
-"Can you help me level?" (My thoughts: I've never asked anybody that...level up yourself...and that's just bad manners.)
-"Can you craft X motif? (without specifying the set - and when I say yes, they ask for something super crazy like Armor Master or Twice Born Star).

What's yours?

    Surprisingly enough, I don't get any direct annoying questions, and people usually find me very helpful as I tend to hang out helping new AD players in Vukhel Guard (sp?)

    However, some of the things I hear in Zone chat would curl your toes... Most of them I can't even repeat here without risking forum banishment.

    I guess one of the worst for me is "looking for grinding partners" when I KNOW it is a newer player (by the other questions that player asks in zone chat). People that skip all the content just to GRIND to an endgame that doesn't exist really chaps my biscuits.

    "Please help me! I need 1000 gold" proceeds to keep initiating trades with you.

    I have no problem helping people. I've given people 10k to get a horse before. If you are annoying and initiate trades with everyone in the bank, you are going on ignore.

    Not really a question but I get this statement after using activity finder for dungeons:

    "Don't use Maw of the Infernal. You should use __X__ set"

    It's a monster helm set that is a ton of fun to use but some people get upset when they see me wear it because it's pretty weak, overall.

    [Them]: Hey where did you get the awesome tiger mount?
    [Me]: It was a loyalty reward for people that subscribed from launch until the B2P conversion.
    [Them]: Where can you get it? I don't see it in the crown store.
    [Me]: You can't get it, it was a one-time loyalty reward before the B2P switch.
    [Them]: Does it drop from a quest?
    [Me]: NO. It was a one-time thing they gave out over a year ago, you cannot get it anymore.
    [Them]: Yeah but how can I get it.
    [Me]: /ignore

    To be honest I haven't received any annoying messages, I'm lucky!!

    I was annoyed by one player at once who wouldn't stop asking me to help him in a public dungeon and I didn't even know what they were, I was just really new to the game. In the end I was like screw this I'll help him, he'll see I'm a noob and he will let me level up in peace.

    This guy now is my friend and we always run public dungeons together, you never know!!!

    I'd have just answered the question, "First you have to get your hands on a time machine..."

    Most annoying thing I get are random guild, group, and friend invites from people I don't know while standing at a wayshrine or in town or pretty much anywhere.

    I am not annoyed by any questions.

    I do however get really annoyed by people spreading false information when trying to answer these questions in zone chat.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    A friend, who just knew my character as a dark skinned Redguard (with pretty african appearance) said to me, when we met and I was there with my blonde Breton "finally I see you and your face" - as if my Redguard would have been invisible; she normally wears the Grahtwood climber outfit. Really strange comment.
