In a roleplay galaxy long long ago when I did participate in group roleplays....
Character sheet for another player's character explicitly says said character is a doctor, has treated patients, has saved lives, has all the credentials of a medical professional, knowledgeable about medicinal herbs, poisons, etc.
Player of the doctor character in question creates a situation in the roleplay where all the other characters including my own are wounded. The doctor character does nothing to treat them and when asked whether the player would realistically have their character do their job the player responded by saying "I don't know how to make her help them."
So, my annoyance is when some people give characters certain jobs but don't do at least some research on what the job involves. A doctor that can't treat a patient, a cop that doesn't know the law...honestly.
Even in a 1 x 1 RP I've run into a lot of lying about characters. Basically they post sheets or descriptions making it sound like their character fits perfectly in the setting or with the characters you'll be RPing with. Then suddenly it's a huge frustrating and uncomfortable mess. These people either
A: Go in with high expectations about what they want the character to do. Then brain freeze because they didn't think it through.
B: Just listen to what the other people they are petitioning to roleplay with want and say whatever to get their foot in the door. Likely being the type that hope you're as desperate as them to RP and once the RP starts you won't end it regardless.
