Klingons (and less often, Jem'Hadar) choosing to fight with knives and swords against opponents with guns. In real life, they'd be cut down like field mice under a lawn tractor.

I liked Vic Fontaine.
How, exactly, was he annoying? Or is it that you simply don't care for that sort of music?
Doesn't she take out a couple Cardassians with ease in Darkness and the Light after being kidnapped?
And I understand why the dim took the combadge, but it seemed like a superfluous scene as it did absolutely nothing to further the story.
I agree. I mean, man, that woman was about her size, but she totally beat up Kira.. I mean badly. Kira attacked her first hit her twice as hard as she could, didn't even phase her opponent. Then that woman hit her five times in a row, but it looked like Kira was ko'ed by the second hit.
Aww, I liked Rom and Leeta together. I mean, score a big one for the underdog!
I really liked those two characters because they defied your intial impressions of them
She looked like a bimbo bitch and turned out to be smart and warm
He looked like a weak willed idiot and became a great engineer and union leader in a culture of ubercapitalism
Yes! This scene was poorly thought out. Kira kicks ass until some street woman, from a back water planet, shows up in Ops one day.
I have only one pet peeve and it's universal to all Star Trek. It's a single throw away line:
"I'll try to keep that in mind."
SHUT UP! Line is way over used and what's worse no one even says that in every day conversation. I've never said it.
One thing that always bugged me - when someone would hit their comm badge to Sisko or whoever, and say soemthing along the lines of "... Benjamin, come to opps, there's something you need to see..." and the reply would always be "on my way" or something similar - without questionning what it is or what it's regarding or asking for more information. I always think - surely they would ask for a little bit of detail!
My fluffiest and most favorite pet of all my pet peeves: red-eyed Dukat. 
Nice way to utterly destroy a perfectly great villain.
Minor peeve: trying to convince us the Doms wouldn't have Weyoun's template stored back in the GQ. Please. You don't get to be an empire spanning a quarter of a galaxy by being sloppy.
Well he is a shapeshifter.
Maybe I've been reading too much fanfic. 
What's creepy or objectionable about their 'ship? They didn't become lovers until long after any problem with Odo being a Cardie deputy was history. Sometimes I've run across the objection that Odo was effectively an adolescent (going by his species' standards) and too young for Kira.

The fact that despite only having a two man transporter pad, the runabout always beams up many more than that in one go. It's even explicitly stated in an episode that they can't beam up more than two people at one time.
In "The Jem'Hadar", the Dominion's weapons can punch through shields like nothing. In a few other episodes, dialog would indicate that their shields are indeed absorbing damage.
Then, in "Call to Arms," Dukat and Weyoun are surprised that the station's shields are holding, with the latter even going so far as to say that "Federation shields have always proved ineffective against our weapons." or something along that line.
Oh, and the fact that people instantly reply to a hail without the necessary delay required to route the call to the specific person mentioned. (not DS9 specific).
Bringing back a new Dax after they killed off Jadzia. It wasn't handled too badly, I suppose, but the scene where her and Worf are fighting and then making passionate love was so contrived and corny that it always leaves me rolling my eyes.
Star Trek really needs to learn that it's okay to kill off a character and LEAVE THEM DEAD. Spock and Spock, Dax and Dax, Data and B4. How many times did they tease us by killing Harry Kim? It's not right. Voyager could have done us all a favor and had "Year of Hell" be real and not reversible. That way we could have all been spared the horror that was Star Trek: Seven of Nine and Tuvok? Really? Are You Shitting Me? TWO Emotionless Characters on the Same Fucking Show? This is Fucking Retarded.
Or as I like to call it - ST: SONaTRAYSMTECotSFSTiFR.
Final peeves: Garak should have been on the main cast. He could have replaced Jadzia as a main character for S7 and the show wouldn't have missed a beat. There were so many more important things to wrap up in the final season (Bajor actually entering the Federation for one) that could have been put to much better use that introducing a new character with that little time left. I like Ezri, and like I said, they did about as good a job as could be expected (aside from the above complaint) but I don't think she was as important as some of the other threads that were left hanging.
That said, it was the best

^ don't forget Miles being replaced by the parallel Miles when he kept flashing forward in time. Um, it's not him. Just like Harry Kim wasn't Harry Kim. But let's all just pretend it is.
Pet peeves:
How can Odo manage an impromptu all-nighter, say, to haunt Kira/Shakaar, if he has to change to a liquid state every sixteen hours?
When the crew was downloaded into the holosuite to keep their patterns from degrading--why couldn't Bashir simply have said "Computer freeze program" instead of playing out the story? Um, it wouldn't have done anything except stop the advancement of the story.
Worf. Seven of Nine. The ensuing character-centric episodes and lack of development opportunities of other characters. Of course, these were great characters and actors. I just don't think it was necessary for them to be the new ultimate heroes.
Ezri, Dax and Opaka were the only female characters I personally liked. Kira was good, but a little too aloof for my taste when it came to people she didn't like, but who were trying to be nice to her.
In Homefront, why and how did Sisko's father change his mind about being tested? He went from an impassioned heart attack speech to a glib "here's my arm!" with no explanation! HUH???

I believe that in that episode, it was stated that freezing the holoprogram, or even calling for the doors could destabilize the whatever so badly that it would degrade them beyond recovery or somesuch. I don't mind it so much there because it was a breezy comic episode to start with.
Like I said, I liked both Dax's. But with only 25 eps left in the series, I just didn't see the point in introducing a whole new character. I guess I kind of saw it as a bit of a cop out from a series that had otherwise been solid, hard hitting drama. As for Worf, I didn't mind it when the series focused on him as much because he was a MUCH better character on DS9, far more so than he was on TNG, either. And Worf only dominated a few episodes here and there. Seven of Nine dominated the entire series as soon as she came on board. Not because she was a good actress or even that good of a character, or even well-written. She just had huge knockers.
The underlying worship of AUTHORITY and hero worship in Star Trek is really annoying even though they make fun of it with alien species.
In The Emissary Sisko talks about Cardassian architecture with Dukat's raised office so everyone has to look up in respect. But in season 7 Ezri talks about Whorf being intimidated by Sisko.
Ensign Ro said the same thing about Picard in The Next Phase.
Let us all bow down and worship those in charge. AMEN!

Biggest Pet Peeve: The passive aggressive (albeit sometimes subtle) TNG-bashing.
*Sisko's unprofessional conduct toward to Captain Picard in the pilot.
*The "exploring space is boring" motif started in "Explorers" ("A Trek show that bashes exploring space? WTF?)
*The characters who get the most torture/misery are TNG alums--O'Brien and Worf. Coincidence?
*"What a boring crew the Enterprise crew was!"--paraphrasing Jadzia in "Change of Heart"
*Garak knocking Earl Grey Tea.
*The Enterprise crew isn't invited to Worf's wedding. Or even mentioned in a throw away line.
*Tom Riker never rescued.
*The galaxy-class Odyssey being destroyed in "The Jem'hadar" with the writers saying that if it was Picard, he would've got "smoked" too. (See the DS9 Companion)

I loved it!
A carryover from TNG: Worf can't leave a room without getting called back for more lecture or platitudes of some sort.
Thus proving even the DS9 writers could be snarky jackasses.
All I know is that Picard swept in and rescued their "tough little ship."
And that's canon.
