There are those who seem to feel that it is important for them to ruin a really great meal in some way or another. Here are a few of the ones that irk me the most. Please feel free to add to the list.
1) Bring up someone's medical issues. 2) Make a remark about how some of the food items, ingredients, or method of raising is detrimental to health. 3) When the meal is over, declare that after that, no one should have to eat again until some (large) amount of time has passed.

So untold millions of family holiday get togethers for thousands of years.
There goes Uncle Joe getting drunk and making lewd jokes again.

I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

Listen to my sisters family eat in the old days. (Divorce)
The Dad, a graduate of a private military academy in Virginia, Mom, raised by my parents, was taught manners. Younger daughter, not taught manners, Older daughter, decent self taught.
Hands in plate, lip smacking like hogs, snorting, open mouth chewing, three of the four. Got ugly when the young one was picking the eggs out of the macaroni salad, with her hands. Yours truly had a fit, "You don't pick through the food, and you sure as [bleep] don't put your hands in the serving bowl". My sister said "well, she likes the eggs". I couldnt phugginn believe it!
They thought I was rude. They had no idea how restrained I was. That day, I realized my mom had gotten old. 20 years ago no kid would have ever considered doing that at her table. A visitor, would have only gotten a butt chewing. If I had done that as a guest, I would have bled when we got home.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Horrible table manners is one of the worst "gifts" a parent can give a child... and it amazes me when adults with decent table manners do not demand it from their kids.

Some classics that have pissed me off in the past... Eating smoked fish and putting fish bones back on the serving plate after pulling them out of their mouths...
Insisting they cannot eat a main course, getting something else made especially for them, only to eat the original.
Eating a meal before saying they are allergic to tomatoes and will get a huge migraine...
Once had a charter client take 90% of the pasta before half the table got any... and then left most on his plate.

Had a brother-in-law who had a real weak stomach. He could also be a butthole, so if he was being a smartazz, and we were eating, I'd have to say something like I found a hair in the food, just to watch him quit eating and leave the table. I always looked at it as payback.

A fool proof way is to invite friends that unbeknownst to you, hate each other.

About the time we sit to enjoy the evening meal and watch a little prime time TV, The Colorectal cancer commercial comes on and we get to see something that looks like a steaming pile of pig kidneys.
