Long sword/SwAxe users in Monster Hunter Tri. They just sit there tripping everyone, and they have some weird trip-proof thing whenever they are doing a combo so you'd get 2+ trippers spamming a monster (then getting buggered because they don't dodge, or go attacking my bomb or whatever) and no-one else can get in a hit. In case my footnote isn't obvious, I really hate longsworders and SwAxers. There have been a few cases where I've battled with talented fighters that favour those weapons, but those cases are few and far between, I'd much rather have a hammer user as my only ally than a full group of longsworders or SwAxers.
For me its the bloody lance users who think their only attack is the charge attack, which leads to hitting and knocking down their teammates more than hitting the monsters. Now, I'm a hammer user and I'll admit to accidentally launching teammates every now and then, but I at least try my best not to. These guys don't seem to give two craps about who they hit.
There was also the time my two teammates killed a monster on a capture quest even though I was yelling at them to capture it. The thing had even gone to sleep but they kept hitting it.
I've rarely encountered those guys. I have been that guy when I was playing with my friend in the offline arena (I think it was against the rathian or something, eventually he made me play as a longsword). I think the worst non-team killers I've hunted with were a couple of greatswords against an uragaan. There was also me, with ... it was a poison or paralysis SnS I think, and a hammer. I place a pitfall trap, put down some bombs (big ones), it falls in, I set them off with a paintball, and then the hammer user goes and hits the tail because the greatswords are screwing around the head. Worst. Tactics. Ever. In the end we broke the head and that was it. Didn't even wound the tail. I mean, if you pitfall an Ura, and you have a hammer on your team, you don't hog the head. That's just Ura-101.
However, the worst was against a Barioth. I quick-speak that I'm going to set a bomb, so I put down my trap, try to place my bombs as it is coming towards me (and the trap), and what happens? I get hit by a longsword, with one bomb just placed and we both get launched. neither of us hit the Bari, the bomb was useless and no-one else was close because I'd just said I was placing a bomb.
