Because we all come across things that just annoy the hell out of us.
Pet Peeve of the Day: Inspired by Mass and Magic: adult Harry Potter wizards that are supposed to be skilled/competent speaking incantations to use their magic. Silent Casting is 6th year material and virtually the only time in the entire series that we see any adult wizard using an incantation it is for 1) dramatic effect or 2) for demonstration purposes as they teach. And yet so very many fics seem to totally forget that this is the case.
And another pet peeve inspired by the same story: Artificial/forced incompetence as a balancing mechanism/plot advancing mechanism. Harry, in that story specifically, is a 200 year old wizard with fifty plus years experience as an Auror and yet he runs around acting like a powerful 20 something with more power than sense.
