What are the bad research or engineering habits you see that drive you up a wall?
What was the stupid mistake that made you want to rip your hair out?
What are the frustrations that that keep you awake at night?

I strongly dislike when people confuse mathematical modeling for the thing it is trying to model. This leads to all sorts of retarded interpretations where people believe things like the "laws of physics" are some engine source code or something rather than the best flawed models we could come up with to explain observable phenomena.
