Not the most annoying but the guy who explains why they know they have me beat and is "folding to be nice" or vice versa.
For me, it's this, hands down. I would say "don't tap the glass," but generally the people who do this think they're the smart ones, but actually aren't. I was in a hand against one of these types on the river, with a good-but-not-great hand, but know this guy loves to bluff catch, so I bet big, like 125% pot. He hems and haws and eventually calls, and when I show him the bad news he goes "why on earth would you bet that?"
...as if the answer to his question wasn't immediately self-evident.
I'm happy to shrug, smile and move on against these guys but it gets awkward, uncomfortable and even intimidating when we have newer players who join, regardless of skill level. "You call the turn with just a gutshot?" "Why is king jack suited in your four bet calling range?" Chill tf out bro!
Or the "sorry" guy after he stacks you

High Hand
Then he goes on to explain he just had to call... explaining how he knew you were beat... then oh sorry again!
We had a guy in my game who was generally annoying to begin with, and fairly confident he just wasn't a good person. He did two things that drove me nuts:
1) He would win a hand, and then critique the other person's play. "How could you call me there with that? You didn't put me on x?"
2) It's a friendly home game so there's an element of trust amongst the same people. Sometimes when I'm bank, dealing, and hosting, it gets chaotic so I asked this individual if they could put someone's chips (who cashed out) into the bank. They said sure no problem. Later that night when cashing people out there were $300 unaccounted for in his stack. Turns out he topped up with that player's buy-in when we had a $300 max rule in place. Couldn't understand why I was pissed or why it was unfair.
Needless to say we don't speak anymore.

I say it all the time, it's on repeat, to the guy who "apologizes" for winning ...
"Don't say you're sorry. You're not sorry. If you were sorry, you'd give the chips back ..."
This guy, as much as I love the guy and we've been playing for years, basically every round it's the same thing
Doesnt know where the action is
Asks where the action is
Asks how much it is to him
Raises to small
"Hides" his cards
Counting his chips one at a time
Not paying attention in general
Sigh . . .

The guy who towards the end of the night wants to get rid of all his fracs so he bets or calls with them instead of his 1s/5s.
This slows down the game since I have to verify the bet/call and there are at least 4x the number of chips to count. I'd rather it take longer at cash out than during the game.

I agree on all of these but I think it leaves about four people on the planet that Teddy enjoys playing with.

I sometimes respond to the player saying "Sorry - (Poker sorry)" with "F*ck you - (Poker f*ck you)"

Guy who always waits to see what you have before showing his cards even when he's supposed to be showing first. Just lay down your hand you dumb cnut.
Guy who lays down his hand saying what he has in that dickish "haha, I fucking beat you" tone. Man, I really hate this dude.

I'm only guilty of half those things. And, only during circus games...Oh wow! I didn't know you played with @Klobberer too

I unenjoy most of the same things the rest of you listed. My addition is more about a specific behavior than a player archetype. For context, this is a dealer's choice game with a lot of double-board and other split-pot games, so showdowns can be tricky.
A regular player with a lot of other annoying habits has recently been dragging out showdowns like this. It makes me crazy.
Even after everyone else has tabled their hands, he sits there staring at his cards with his mouth half-open, trying to figure out what he has. The later into the night (i.e., more beers) and the more complex the game, the longer he sits there staring. Half the other players are telling him to just show his hand, and most of the time he keeps sitting there staring at his cards, prolonging showdown quite a bit.
Even that is only moderately annoying. It gets worse.
Suppose we get to a point where I ask if he's conceding—y'know, so we can move on with our damn lives—and suppose he says yes. I used to take this opportunity to chop up the pot, award it to the winners, and begin clearing the cards, as one does. Now I know better.
Even after he says he concedes, he often wants to hold onto his cards and keep staring at them. A few times, as I was clearing the board, he blurted out, "Wait, hold on, I think I have a flush!" or whatever. This is way past the point where it's appropriate to try to contest, as the pot has been awarded and the other players' hands (and sometimes the board cards) have been collected. He even did it one time after throwing his cards face-down. After I've already awarded the pot, he reached out, grabbed his mucked cards, and tried to claim he had a winner.
There's no way I'm awarding him anything at this point; that verbal concession is a done deal. But sometimes he gets irritable about it and acts like he's been done wrong because he voluntarily forfeited half the pot without showing his cards. Now, because of this, I won't accept a verbal concession from him. He needs to table his hand, or it needs to go irretrievably into the muck, and until that happens I'm not moving anything. Anyone else can verbally concede, just not him.
It's such a ridiculous babysitting task. If you want your hand protected, table it. Then we have to award it if you have the winner. It's so simple.

Only alcohol with this one, but he can get pretty bad as the night wears on, especially if he's losing. Worst nights I've ever seen out of him, we were playing NLHE, and he was rebuying and shoving every hand (short but not auto-shoving stack size). On multiple occasions he said his exact hand out loud, mid-hand, while other players were active, because he was shitfaced and oblivious. Needless to say it's like playing against an ATM at some point.

Holds his cards in his hands
Slams the flop down dramatically when dealing, sometimes damaging a card.
Great list @BEANO52
Omg I forgot about this one. Just table your fking cards

Right? It's not a lot to ask to want the pot awarded on the same evening the hand was played.
Ok, so it seems that a few of the things I do upset you all, but, in my defense I've only been playing 25 years, so, if you could just be patient another couple of decades I'm sure I'll catch on.

People who won't show their hands at bomb pot showdown. If we're playing 5-2-2 and it takes you 3 minutes to figure out what you have on each board, please just table your hand and we'll all figure it out a lot quicker.

Great list. I have a regular that displays many of these traits. I would add; not knowing which chips are which. “What are these worth again?” Look at the f’n chips! The denominations are on all of them.
Because of this player, I would never have non-denom set
Use denoms on all but one. Use a Starburst or roulette chip for that one and see how many times hes asks about that one chip
No lie, at a recent game, when I gave a guy his stacks of $5s, $1s, and quarters, all of which have the denom on them, all of which he’s played many times at my house (and we’ve been playing .25/.50 forever,) he looks at his fracs and says how much are these?
I almost lost it and then I looked at his stack and the top chip was actually the one single starbursts in the whole rack. Ha!
People who come into your house without any contribution to your liquor cabinet or fridge, barely say "good evening" and head straight to the table. They usually stink, too.
