Vegans who point out that the two remaining Beatles are also vegans as if that's the only reason they're still alive. So it wasn't being shot four times in the back by a psychopath that killed John Lennon? Okay

I'm annoyed at my group project. Especially certain members who chime in with "Hey, I told you this at the start". Well that's all well and good, but you've been missing consistently. Or "I don't know what I'm doing!" Yes. That's what happens when you show up and say "Yeah, whatever you want to do is fine" and expect me to handle everything for you. If it wasn't for me there wouldn't even be a direction to this project! There'd be no story!
You can't turn around and act like I've contributed nothing. Don't you dare try to pin all the blame on me. Yes, I admit that certain oversights were my fault, but if you had concerns, you should have voiced them. But you didn't. Oh, sure you do now that the deadline is almost here. The real cherry on top of this disaster of a dessert is now one of my group members is leaving the country much faster than I'd anticipated. *Sigh* Why didn't they mention this sooner? At least I gave them the least work, I had a feeling something like this might happen.
Ugh. I hate group work. However, I'm not letting this thing fail. We've got too far. I refuse. One way or another, we're finishing it.
*Exhales* But other than that I'm fine.

Anti-vaxxers
Flat-Earthers
Warning labels on packages of peanuts telling you that it contains peanuts
And of course, if somebody who was allergic did happen to eat the peanuts, they can totally sue if there was no warning only because it didn't tell them *not* to eat them.
Warning labels telling you not to stop dangerous equipment with your genitals like WTH?
Apparently when Febreeze first came out, it had no scent. The whole point of it was to neutralize bad odors instead of covering them up with a supposedly pleasant scent. But people are so used of the stink of their homes that they couldn't tell if the smells were gone or not. So they added different scents so the product would sell. Of course, most of them smell even worse than whatever household odors are perfuming the air.
Car commercials that show a person driving normally on a normal street, and the warning STILL says: professional driver on closed course, do not attempt.
"Ask your doctor" ads, where they list about 50 scary and horrible sounding side-effects, most of them sounding worse than whatever ailment they're supposed to treat. I once even saw an ad for people with eye irritation from allergies where one of the possible side effects was glaucoma or cataracts. Seriously??
Anti-vaxxers thinking diseases are harmless because their common names are funny, like mumps and measles and chicken pox. I had pink eye one time. The color pink is supposed to be cute and feminine, but there's nothing cute about have inflamed, itchy bloodshot eyes full of gunk that glue your eyelashes together.
Reality TV.
Quack doctor alternative "medicine". Essential oils, arrrrgh!!
People trying to transform their naturally carnivorous pets into vegans.
And when I was younger I used see toy commercials like Barbie, where she's shown moving in stop-motion animation at the start of the commercial, and then it would tell her she doesn't walk or move on her own.
And then there was that ad for the game Guess Who, where they showed the characters on the cards talking, and then it says at the end, "Game cards do not actually talk". (if they did, you probably needed professional help)
Of course, if you're one of the few humans who are not stupid (like most people on WP), then your intelligence has just been completely insulted by such things.

MORE things that exist because people are stupid:
Bleach enemas (and when the kids who get them shed long thin strips of their intestinal lining afterwards, their parents think, wrongly, that those are actual parasitic worms that "cause" the autism)
Parents who unschool their children and then are bewildered as to why their 10-year-old can't read or write yet.
(unschooling is not the same as homeschooling. It's where you basically don't teach the kid anything, because they supposedly can learn everything on their own. Must be great when they grow up and try to get a job when they don't even have a high school diploma)
Parents complaining their kids don't socialize while refusing to let them go anywhere or do anything with the other kids.
Guys who think if a woman is even slightly kind to him, she must be interested in him.
Thinking the moon doesn't exist, because Nasa is evil for some reason.
Thinking gravity doesn't exist, because Sir Issac Newton was evil...I guess?
Wait, did I say thinking??? 
People on YouTube saying "First", or "The last time I was this early, something something".
People who made ugly, trollish comments about a kid in a wheelchair dressed as a Fortnite character for Halloween, such as "He should be put down like the sick dog that he is".
People calling a disabled person a "vegetable". I don't think it's cute or funny at all.
Pro-life people posting images of fetuses that look like cute smiling little pink gummy bears. They do not look that way at all. Gross.
Politicians
That HeadOn (apply directly to the forehead commercial) commercial. Also, the actual product is mostly made of wax so you're basically rubbing a candle on your forehead.
The Charmin Bears. A bunch of cartoon bears with coprophillia, how nice.
Those kids in the Cottonelle commercial claiming using toilet paper to wipe your butt makes them feel "Wike a shimmewing muhmaid".
COPPA.
Autism $peaks, which refuses to acknowledge that adult autistic people who can speak for themselves exist.
Peta, the biggest animal wrongs group ever.
