It just sounds SO insulting with the accent the voice actors have, that I just wanna strangle the guard. Can't do that though, I tried to hide the fact that I'm a mass murderer.

Oops, so much for hiding the fact.
Guards said that quite often. I just didn't know what's the story behind the sweet-roll innuendo ...?
That's been around since Morrowind. The guy who initaites Character Creation in Morrowind asks what you'd do in the event someone was threatening you for your sweet roll. A rumor in Oblivion parodied it, the NPC talking about a time a thief tried to steal a sweetroll. It's even carried into Fallout 3 when Butch tries to steal the Wanderer's sweet roll in the intro. It's only right the tradition is now in Skyrm!

I can stand that snob... standing over his bloody corpse, while laughing as the guards look the other way because I'm Thane. :D
If they weren't nords, but instead dunmer or redguards, nobody would call them "racist".

The Thalmor, they think they're so cool because they beat the Empire.
That little girl Braith in Whiterun.
That one little kid in Whiterun, name starts with a K, I think. He's the one that says, "I thought adventurers were supposed to look tough."

I sense a current of Imperial bias flowing through this thread...

That aside, my answer: Kids, almost every kid I run across is a snotty, arrogant pus; "I'm not afraid of you" "I thought adventurers were supposed to be tough/whatever that damn solitude kid says", I'm sorry, I'm dressed in full Daedric with the blood of a recently slain dragon on my Battleaxe, I could eat you. Damn it, kids like these would be beaten by their parents in this kind of time-set.

It's like Bethesda is taunting us, "We put kids in our game and you can't kill them...and you're definitely going to want to kill them just to shut them up"

I mean SUNSHINE!

You can't kill them, but they give them dialogue that makes you wish you could!

Elenwen the Thalmor ambassador.
All those Talos hating Thalmor beggars I run in to from time to time. I love to tease them & get them all worked over my devotion to Talos & when the lose it I laugh as I plunge my sword in to them.
I used to be an adventurer, but then I broke my GF's IPhone 4 & she mutilated me in a rather personal manner

Jarl Sidgeir. I come there asking for work, you know, to help out, and he demands I go fetch him a drink first? He demands tribute? Preposterous.

Really anyone corrupt and blatantly rude irks me. If you're going to be evil, be affably so.
Be polite.
Be professional.
But have a plan to KILL everyone you meet.

Ulfric: On my first playthrough I took the Imperial side of the civil war. In the second playthrough I couldn't bare to join the Stormcloaks as I was going to, but when Galmar Whats-his-Face said "We don't like Orcs, why would you like to fight for us?", I thought F it you just lost a valuable swordsman, and then precedded to rip the crap out of Ulfric in the negotiations at High Hrothgar, he deserved every little bit of it, the rascist barstool.

she asked me to kill Paarthurnax. I was not about to betray the people that helped me out so much nor was I about to make the same mistake the blades did in the past. It was their fault we did not have more dragon alies during the aldulin crisis. If I killed him it would destroy the chance of any future help against what else may lie ahead.

Thalmor...a d'oy, and those two guys who were being mean to the elf in windhelm, and basically most of Riften. I hate the thieves' guild.

Sven and Ulfric I dislike, along with a great number of the Stormcloak Jarls. Nazeem irritates me. Vignar Grey-Mane I hate. Rolff Stone-Fist I have reason to despise (although I don't hate him enough really). But the most hated NPC of the lot, that annoying little man Heimskr.

Oh, and that guard who fined me 10 gold today for dropping the weapons I'd just pickpocketed from he and his colleges in Whiterun. I was so tempted to kill that man in Beast Form, but Vaurula had business to attend to without getting a huge bounty in a third Hold.

Also, seeing as the OP has edited to make it clear we're talking Skyrim, maybe this should move back?

You know that guy who runs the mill in Falkreath? Him. I singlehandedly won skyrim for the stormcloaks, and yet he still says Proventials like me shouldn't be allowed to wander skyrim. I got mad, so I beat him to near death. He still doesn't get the message.

Malborn. I only remember this because I just went through 'Diplomatic Immunity' for the first time yesterday.

Soon as we made good our escape, the kid mutters "They're going to be after me for the rest of my life!" and runs down the road...

...ten seconds later, a Frost Dragon swoops down and killed him.

Guess he was right.
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.
