Things that annoy me:
1) The concept of the "friend zone"
2) Men who won't get STD tested
3) People who get vaguely racist at me when they first meet me and then don't understand why I don't like them

1) Same. Why not just meet people, talk to them, and let the chips fall as they will? If you get along but don't date, you've still gained a friend. Substantive friends are too often overlooked by people who subscribe to the friend zone concept.

2) Obvious points of being considerate to future partners, you'd think anyone would want to know just for their own peace of mind, and for the purpose of seeking early treatment.

3) I don't know what it is, but people seem to think it's less of a big deal to be stereotypical about your ethnic background than a few others. I squirm uncomfortably every time someone puts on a stupid imitation accent whenever they see me enjoying some naan and hummus, and I've zero related heritage. Obviously you must encounter worse than that. I can only imagine how you must feel.
