Lap steel guitar, when played in the whiny, country music style.
On the other hand David Gilmour can do wonders with it!

This forum is buggy as hell. It took me four tries to get that to post properly. It kept randomly bolding and doubling things.

So you don't like A Passion Play?

I thought of another one: melodica!

Yes, I don't like any kind of bagpipes. Not only the sound but the lack of dynamics and expression. It's as if its aim is to annoy.

Clavinette! I don't think I've heard anything I like with that instrument..
 
How about sitar...no, not a fan of that one.

The harmonium is quite a nice drone instrument from India (but I think the British Imperialists helped them out a bit with it.)

What I hate is the sound of neon lights.

Bagpipes are not Celtic, most of Europe has some form of bagpipe like instrument, as this Flemish painting by Bruegel shows:
Brueghels Peasant Dance
Instruments with drones are known throughout the world and most of them are pleasant enough, but I think the Picts chose the bagpipes just to annoy their neighbours - they certainly make more noise than a harp or lyre.
 
 
 
 
You can always get a buzz out of neon lights.
What?

A couple of years ago I saw, and almost bought a CD of all of Take That's hits played on the Pan Pipes. Can you imagine that? It still makes me shiver to think of the suffering that could be inflicted with such a recording.

accordion ? you don't like the "piano of the poor" -> check out Régis Gizavo, Marc Berthoumieux or Richard Galliano.
 
This is pure beauty, and by a Malagasy artist :

Just occurred to me that the OP asks for what you "can't stand", while my answers were more directed at the thread title, "least favoriet" (sic).  Big difference in my book.  The worst music in the world is a lot better than a sharp blow to the head (which I can't stand).

Well I will stand with you in enjoying bagpipes and all other pipes quite a lot. Then again, I am a fan of obnoxious noise in general.

Yes i know, every instrument can be bad, depends on the player, but most of what i've heard of bagpipes sounds pretty bad.
 
I like bagpipes only if they are in "It's a Long Way to the Top" by AC/DC.
 
I don't really hate any instrument; there might be some I dislike, though. It's just a matter how you play it and in what musical context.
 
Looks like I have one more homework to do: check out Uillean pipes and see what they sound like.

Violin players strike me as very self-absorbed. I prefer the more sociable traits of, say, a cellist.
Do you remember "Per Un Amico" (the track)?
 
To answer the OP question: the one I dislike the most (not hate, dislike) is the trumpet. Sorry, ... I just have to keep exploring.
