The only way I could see it being fine would be if you are blind ala Ray Charles.
I wanna tip on people so bad that wear sunglasses. It looks so goofy.
Some overhead lights can be brutally tilting.

Players who are too cool to push their chips or their dead cards over the line and the dealers who go along with it. There's a line, it's there for a reason. Use it. It's really simple.

Grumpy dealers. If you're going to be a dick, stay home.

The "edgy" brand ball cap/shades/earbuds/tight top girls. You're not on TV, and you're not Vanessa Rousso.

I can maybe SORT of see if someone does it once in a great while when they are running really bad, same comments as above but I get that maybe some people are a little superstitious about that kind of nonsense, but still I don't like to see it. But it's really cringeworthy when you get someone doing it multiple times per session. You are just slowing the dealer and the game down for no purpose.
Lol, “big scramble next hand please”

People heckling dealers.

People commenting on aspects (any) of a celebrity (poker or otherwise) other than their skill. (Even the latter if it's not well substantiated with facts)

Seeing people give dealers death stares makes me want to deck them. Pun intended.

THIS.
In my country live poker is like you get in a zoo with only brain dead idiots. Imagine the worst live poker ethics you have ever seen and multiply it by 3.

They know they cannot be hit in the face, so loud mouthing is standard and talking down to dealers happens almost any other minutes. If you are the fish of the game you could get away with anything.

A drunk idiot from Norwegia sit next to me and kept touching me while burping in my ears. Even as he mumbled I could smell that rotting beer smell from his guts. I asked him politely: please don't touch me, its the 15th time now, I tried to not pay attention but you just ruin my experience.
His answer: shut up

Next time he touched me I asked more firmly: dont do it again.
Answer: what the ****
It happened again. I told the floor he is like ohh its nothing, keep playing.
I just waited for another open seat but it never came.

Then after 50 times (no exaggeration) I asked again: dont do it
He stared at me start yelling: what the **** man.
So I elbowed him in the ribs.
Guy understand what will be the implications of disrespecting me. He didnt do it again afterwards.

But a guy at the table start heckling: what are you doing man, this rich people come here to play and you disrespect them? What does it tell him about our country's poker culture? You are a shame.

5 minutes later the guy lectured me starts yelling at the dealer, saying **** your mother and other serious stuff just because he gets shitty hands preflop... Couple of times he mucked his hand before his turn and 3 times showing his hands preflop with other players in the pot: "look at me how bad I run". Ohh the irony.
