My least favorite thing is the always-in-attendance Master Bikeshedder.

"So at my organization... {2 minutes of uncomfortable and unnecessary context}... would this solution work for us?"

after presenter mentions some syntax offhand "Can I use a special character here? What about casing, does that matter? What about {some contrived example, unrelated to the topic}?"

Really turns me off of a given meetup group if I know this person is a regular.

If that's a problem, put it into your house-keeping - "please keep your questions short and to the point, and in the form of a question".

I'm a member (but not an organizer) of a meetup that doesn't do it, and our regular filibusterer will take up minutes of time with no urgency during Q&A. Really annoys me too.
