All medical folks hate those bastards. The highest driver of increased prices, and only serves as the middle man.
Video game content creators hate reading ( especially controls ).
Edit:
There are plenty of times I'll watch someone play a game and then get confused about how to do something in it because they either don't look at the controls in settings or breeze past it or don't read what a quest entails. They just play on in a braindead like trance and get confused and angry as to why the game that gives you everything you need to know doesn't tell them something vital like a certain control they need.
This is basically why I can't watch any "variety" streamers. They are, without exception, absolutely awful at learning new games or even just understanding what's happening on screen.
You'd think that would be antithetical to having your livelihood hinge on playing a wide swathe of games, but here we are.
Steamers that focus on a specific game/genre thankfully tend to have some idea what they're doing.
I played games all my life, and it always baffled me how some streamers can master one game over several years and then be completely unusable in another. Like bruh, it is still a game, it is not THAT different. Sure, they might suck because they didn't master the mechanics yet, but struggling with basic controls for an hour? They gotta be playing it...
Throw me into a game, and if the controls make sense it will probably be second nature to me in 15 minutes for me.

Their livelihood doesn't hinge on playing the game. That's just incidental. They depend on interaction with the audience and stopping to read and understand something is dead air.
I tend to think that's kinda intentional. Drives up engagement by people telling them how to play in the chat. Also makes people think that they can do better and buy the game.

Neurophysiologist hate action potentials.
To be fair, just because you (generally, if you do cool stuff) want to sort the signals you recorded from a brain, a lot of times this messy annoying and takes up a lot of time. Saw quite some people get pretty mad about sorting spikes
actual work.
Accounting:
Intuit products. They mislead people into thinking they are saving money by not paying an accountant or taking a class or two at the community college.
Depending on the situation, it can result in heavy fines and fees when the books or tax returns need to be corrected.
As an IT person: Intuit products.
Their support sucks and unless it's operating as designed, you basically can't get any answer more specific than "call support" online, and when you do decide to call them, the IT guy can never get answers unless the account holder is on the line because they refuse to talk to anyone who isn't on the account and they refuse to add the IT guy to the account.
Also, QuickBooks desktop is basically dead. There will be no 2025 version as far as I'm aware. They're forcing everyone into QuickBooks online.
Also, their automated file doctor tools are basically useless, rebuilding a file has a good chance of breaking it, requiring intervention from the data services team.
They also seem to have no idea what automation is, and have little to no shits to give over making deployment and management any easier/simpler for the IT staff that needs to support their product.
Fuck. Intuit.

I, warehouse worker, hate OXO for slapping every warning label under the sun on their boxes. I saw a box of oven mitts labeled "fragile" along with like five other warnings. Not even a one size fits all box either, this had custom printing for the product.
As a psych nurse I hate food and housing instability and the death of thirdspaces. Oh and also the prison industrial complex.

As a game dev I hate capital-G Gamers™
Edit: before you feel personally attacked and don’t know what a Capital-G Gamer is. Read this https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Capital-G+Gamer
Entitled customers of any flavour are awful. It's one thing to know what you want and to decide whether something is worth your money, but it's another to demand people cater to your specific taste and be a dick about it, as if the devs' time and effort wasn't worth anything.
And particularly annoying in my opinion are those who think they know how to fix a given issue, call you an idiot for not "just" doing that and have no idea of the constraints and decisions that might preclude or complicate that "simple fix".
