People who don't respect boundaries.
e.g. I'm still* grinding my teeth about our next-door-neighbours using our drive to access and move their bins because unlike every other house on the estate they don't want their bins on *their* drive so have moved them to a one metre strip of grass that they own but which can only be accessed from our drive because they have replaced the grass in their front garden with flower-beds. Mr thinks I shouldn't say anything because we don't want to fall out with them. I'm ready to explode.

Same here. I've just had an Amazon driver walk diagonally across my front garden to deliver a package.
On the flip side, my neighbour in the next street has just replaced his back fence. I have now acquired about half a metre of land in one corner... and his tree stumps.

[H call me petty but I would be tempted to put a low fence on my side of the grass, that would stop them]

Neighbours new decking built on a slope at the bottom of the garden. Puts them waist height to the 6 ft fence with a birds eye view straight into my conservatory and bedroom window. [Wondering if it would be petty a) to casually enquire with council on regulations about decking more than 30cm off the ground or b) just replace the leylandii I removed several years ago trying to be a considerate neighbour. ]

Other neighbours cat who just walked in open door and pounced on cat sleeping in chair whilst I was having an online whinge. Leafleters who walk across front lawn right in front of window. Other peoples workmen who powerwash their drive and leave the residue splattered up my wall. People who put out so much bird food every morning that every crow, seagull and pigeon in a 10 mile radius drops by.
Having to live near other people full stop!

Mrs J, I would (but Mr wouldn't), but our boundary is actually the concrete kerb that edges our drive; the grass is theirs. It would be easier simply to say 'cease and desist', but Mr thinks that might upset them!

People that enter and ride sportives who do not have any group riding etiquette or show any respect to other riders en route. No wonder there were several crashes at Loch Ness today. (I was glad to finish unscathed.)
