What are some of your pickleball pet peeves? Could be gameplay related, court etiquette, weird unwritten rules people enforce, anything.

Mine is oddly specific, but it absolutely throws me off my game:

People who don’t just give the ball directly to the server after a point.

Instead they lightly tap it with their paddle so it slowly rolls halfway across the court, or they hit it completely away so the person who won the point has to go retrieve it. Like… just pick it up and toss it over lol. It takes two seconds.

Maybe I’m overthinking it, but sometimes it feels weirdly passive aggressive after a good point. Especially when someone’s frustrated.

Curious what everyone else’s are because every court seems to have its own little annoyances.
