Yeah my vote goes to the Skreea (or however you spell their name) as well.... annoying little beggar species who were also surprisingly ungrateful and demanding, while disgustingly flaky and bumpy..... they rubbed me the wrong way from the start and I was glad we never saw them in Star Trek again.
Not to mention they were pretty sexist towards portraying their men as a bunch of small brained monkies.... them having multiple men/husbands didn't bother me all that much (a gangbang here and there, sure if it floats their boat) but the women seemed to be old enough to be their mothers and their "men" appeared to be the same age as Jake and Nog...... nothing like promoting a little pedophilia.
Then again, perhaps I'm looking too deep into that species.... but they bugged the crap out of me.
The other species like them that urked me was those dinosaur looking aliens on Voyager that suck-holed Janeway for just about every resource they could get out of them and then later stole their warp core... can't remember the name of them, but I hated them too. Ungreateful bastids.... I would have turned all their ships into swiss cheese regardless of how many there were.....
The Skreea were annoying and entitled, but at least they were interesting, their story was interesting. The Wadi were just ... my god, there are no words for how lame the Wadi were.
Honestly, I didn't mind them.... from the start they seemed a little green for the Alpha quadrant... they they turned into this intimidating and dangerous species that didn't take no guff from anybody..... then at the end "it's just a game"
he he.... I liked that.... they jerked Quark around good and yet no harm was ever done to anybody.
They remind me of when my brother and his girlfriend went to Ireland a couple of months ago.... they went to a pub and while out for a smoke, this Irish guy came out acting all drunk and tough, asking if my brother was an American (we're Canadian but descend from Irish) and kept acting like he was looking for a fight..... and every so often he would tell my brother to turn his head and look "that way, and I'll show you some stars" while having his fist half cocked back..... my brother of course didn't fall for that.... then he'd ask again "you sure you're not American?"
Of course after about 5 minutes of this his girlfriend was pretty terrified..... then another guy came out of the pub and started yelling at the guy egging on my brother and the two Irish guys both got into it and started swinging at each other and wrestling on the ground.
Then at the last minute they got up and started laughing, telling them it was ok.... they both are best friends and co-workers and they do this with tourists to get a kick
Well, you can like the Wadi if you want, but for me, it's just ... I mean, the dude has a mullet. A mullet. And they think sticks are valuable. LAME!
Like your story about the Irish guys though.

OMG.........that was pure gold Prax.....WIN....+1
Right. Gotcha!
No, no, no... The Wadi are awesome. Mullets, valuable sticks, and all.
Pfft. Personally, I hope the Dominion wiped out the Wadi.
And their dying words were: "No, don't kill us. We have games. And sticks! Incredibly valuable sticks!"

Wadi must die. Seriously this is the same season that gave us Duet and In the Hands of the Prophets and then we have Move Along Home. And insult to injury it was David Carsen's last directing job for television Trek (I think). Seriously, seriously hated this episode. And while its not DS9 worst episode, it just seems that there is nothing that I could see that the writers would want to make an episode from. Then you had the production design and actually teleplay to it, and I want to take a phaser to my brain.
Hell I would almost want to see the Pakleds wipe them out (and I hated them).
I have problems with the finished product on this episode, but there is a good story there.
As for the makeup effects, I like to thank of them as early versions of the Suliban (A race I couldn't care a bit about, but a design that I really liked).
I'd like to make mention of the Pah Wraiths; specifically the fact that I liked them. They were in many ways too one-dimensional for DS9, but at the same time, next to the much more developed nature of the Dominion and when factoring in the portrayal of the Prophets, I actually thought it all made perfect sense.
You've got your three-dimensional set of antagonists, filled with several three-dimensional antagonistic individuals. Then you take a look at the Prophets, and while they were clearly more developed than the Pah Wraiths thanks to the plethora of scenes with them and their desire for understanding, it's not that hard for me to accept that dissidents in their ranks would seem a bit... comic-ish.

Ppl living in the South know mullets and that's a mullet!
Who were those dinosaur-like aliens on VOY? I can't remember... I may have to use that info to create the 'worst aliens' poll in the General Trek section...
Took me a while to find it, but it was the episode "Day of Honor"
The aliens were Caatati
Annoying lil' sh*ts..... talk about why beggars shouldn't be choosers.
I would have taken Quark's empty threat he used too often on Rom and made it reality, by tossing this guy's sorry arse out the nearest airlock..... friggin hail my ship and beg me for whatever I can offer, then tell him what I can offer only to have him beg and suck-hole for more like they deserve it and try and lay on the guilt trip..... then try and steal my warp core and get his petty little bum friends with their tonka toy space ships to try and take more of my crap.....
..... I'd have their bones decorating my hull for such insolence. *shakes fist*
Yet Janeway and Seven got suckered into their threats and BS and they gave them something to help their society thrive.... thus sending the message that consistent begging followed by bully tactics gets you what you want and humans are pansies.
And yet even when they got this new technology to help them start their civilization again, he still bickered and whined that it was only one device, as if they were too god damn lazy to duplicate more.
I would have lopped his head off with a laser scalpel, shat down his throat, gouged out his eyeballs, used his head as a bowling ball, rolled it down the torpedo bay chute and fired it back at his ship so that it'd splatter on their view screen.
*shakes fist again*
God I hated those guys!
I think these guys were actually worse then those Scabies infested freaks on DS9 I mentioned earlier I hated.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against people who are down on their luck and need some help..... I can even tolerate begging..... but when the beggar starts demanding things and acting like they're owed something just by basking you with their glorious presence, or they can't appreciate what they were just given.... that's where I draw the line..... show some damn respect and gratitude for what you got and move along home.
Oops, did I just say that?

Awww! But look at his sad little face! Can't we just give him some food??
An honorable mention should go to the Dosi (you know, those red-faced Gamma barbarians). Yeah, I know they were meant to be played for laughs in a Ferengi 'comedy' episode - still don't make them anymore agreeable when on screen.
Shame they're the first to namedrop "The Dominion". Hmm, and the Skreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeans were the second... Funny how The Dominion seems positively wonderful compared to these two. Well, the Vorta at least.
