OK, in addition to most all of the things in the OP's list, I have two things that cause almost as much frustration-induced rage as any of them, at least for me...
These are stupid little simple things, and you can all laugh at me for bringing them up, but I have to.
1) Tiny steps in the terrain that your character can get stuck on. The ones in Ordelle's Caves are a prime example, but far from the only ones in the game (even the bottom ridge of the stairs to the pedestals at the teleport crags can do this). I can't freakin' stand getting stuck on little tiny ledges like that. What's the point of this? What possible reason is there for making one passageway infinitely more annoying to traverse that anywhere else?
2) Cutscenes at boat/airship/etc docks when transitioning past the guard that take half a minute. I think the damned Galka in Whitegate at the dock for the boat to Nashmau is the largest of the culprits here. I've just barely missed that boat because it took me so fargin long to watch that damn CS. You know the one... after you pay the 100 gil to board, you slowly mosey up to the galka, then you watch him slowly mosey out of your way, while you have to stand there waiting, then watch as you slowly mosey past him, then, just to REALLY PISS YOU OFF, be forced to stand there again while he slowly moseys back to his post!.
Just typing that last one up made that vein in my forehead start to throb.
