Awesome idea for a thread.

Funny, Papyrus doesn't bother me all that much, as long as it's used well. But I agree that it's been overused for a lot of things and really should be retired.

Beyond that, I am part of the crew that also hates Comic Sans. As a graphic designer, it's just... no. It has no place anywhere. So many other fonts can do a better job and usually when someone uses it, they don't know there's MUCH better comic-style fonts out there, but they just haven't bothered checking. Or they're using it because they think it's a "cute" looking font. It's not. As a result, Comic Sans is neither good for professional use (oh yeah, good luck to you in your life if that's the font you use for your resume), nor is it good for casual use. It's just an all-around horribly uncreative font, and any time I see it used is a red flag that I want nothing to do with what it's talking about.

I also hate Times New Roman. YAWN. I've slugged through using that for writing reports and all it does is remind me of boring times when I had to spend hours doing work. I go out of my way to avoid using it. Instead, I use Calibri for my resume and for professional stuff. Calibri is normal and it does the job it's supposed to do without looking all old and archaic.
