First the usual disclaimer that this doesn't apply to every person on the spectrum or every member of a certain group.
This list is in order.
1. The people who argue semantics and word usuage, especially if they are doing it to twist someone's words or if they actually have the same/similar views on the topic as they person they are fighting with.
2. The people who look down on those who have lower functioning levels, particularly those who can work vs those who can't.
3. Those who feel that ASD makes them superior. Especially the ones who think everyone should share that belief.
4. The reverse of #2, people who resent those are higher-functioning than they are in any or all areas. I hesitate to include this, because I struggle with it myself, and it's very understandable, but some people take it too far.
I agree with all the above, as well as OvnR's statement below. The statement below makes sense if you take the reason/cause/motivator behind the annoying behaviour. For example, I find it highly distasteful to read posts on WP that are attempts at factualizing strong personal perspectives. The posts generally radiate arrogance, ignorance, hypocrisy or a combination of those. Commonly, these posts are judgements made about NTs, such as how they think, and why they act in the ways that they do. I don't care for speculation on the matter, but don't publish a scientific report using fictitious information (by this I mean, those posters consider their opinion to be fact regardless of the presence of contradicting evidence).
Relating back to OvnR's statement, a person without AS (from my experience) is just as capable/likely as the equivalent autistic to display such behaviours. It's primarily based on personality. There are NTs in the world who claim to know exactly what an autistic person needs, or that autistics are unworthy of equality. Bad behaviour is hard not to find.

Nothing which I find annoying in people with aspergers I would say is entirely exclusive to those with aspergers.

To specifically pin it down to behaviours only seen in AS, I suppose what annoys me the most is uncertainty with friendships.
