Hoteliers do their share of aggravating guests, but guests are not perfect angels either. Expedia's Hotel Etiquette Study ranks the most annoying hotel guests. No. 10? The elevator chatterbox.

9. Business bar boozers —
Some guests could do without the high-fiving of the business bar boozer.

8. Hot tub canoodlers —
We know they already have a room ... Hot tub canoodlers are a turn-off for 20% of the Expedia survey's respondents.

7. Indiscreet lovemakers —
A fifth of respondents find the refrain of indiscreet lovemaking unpleasant. Maybe the rest of the guests are fans of the loudly amorous?

6. Poolside partiers —
They've turned a utilitarian swimming hole into a pulsing pit of unfortunate dance moves. Poolside partiers try the nerves of 22% of respondents.

5. Bickerers —
Why go out of town to do what you could easily do at home? Bickering hotel guests annoy a quarter of survey respondents.

4. In-room revelers —
What on earth are they doing in there? And how many people have they got packed into room 207? Maybe it's just two squealing bed jumpers. Whatever the case, in-room revelers try the patience of 52% of survey respondents.

3. Complainers —
The wine in the mini-bar is a couple of degrees too cool, and housekeeping neglected to fold the toilet paper into a crisp point. More than half of survey respondents find complainers irritating.
2. Hallway hellraisers —
They've turned the bathtub into a beer cooler, and they're 17 shots in. Confronting hallway hellraisers, the second-most aggravating category of hotel guests, is not without its risks.

1. Inattentive parents —
Who wouldn't love these precious angels? Their parents -- who seem to have ceded control to their offspring -- are another story. Inattentive parents are the most annoying hotel guests, according to the hotel etiquette study.
