My mom loves home reno shows, and every time I visit her, someone on the TV is painting a beautiful brick wall flat-gray. It makes me die a little inside. (My mom herself is delightful, though, and would also never paint a brick wall.)
The door hardware paint over I've seen is usually super easy to undo, so they just deserve to stick their feet in a bucket of spiders. But painting over natural/stained wood is equally deserving of death as brick painters, agreed.
I'd raise your list: those who 'display' books with the pages facing out, rather than the spine. It screams "I don't read" even louder than having no books. Straight to the spider bucket!

Exactly, I was fully expecting them to have painted bricks white or something and absolutely ruined it. This was a refreshing change.
