I have to admit, I have been guilty of a few of those myself. 75% of the typing I do at work requires me to be in CAPS LOCK mode and I am too lazy to take it off when posting on the forum.

I have 2 peeves: people taking pictures of themselves standing on top of there boxsters, lol jk.
Only 1 peeve really. Its the lack of a spellcheck, sometimes I type really fast and keys stick or i miss a key or hit the key beside the intended key and I come off as a baboso (spanish for gruleing idiot) on the forum.

It was not on the poll, but mine is everyone using the quote function replying to the original thread. I have never seen it over used like it is here!
If you are replying to the original post, no need for the next ten people to put the original post in quotes!!

Usually Avatars and Signatures get to me. Not that big of a deal since they can be turned off. So other than that I would have to go with bad spelling and TXT/IM/MySpace talk.
On a side note, I did realize that the quoting can be a little confusing here and was wondering if when something is quoted it can be put in a box that has a slightly darker shade on the background to help the eyes separate the quote form the reply at a quick glance. Just a though.
