Biggest Pet Peeve as Support (laning phase is over): "GOD DAMNIT SUPPORT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW ME ALL OVER THE MAP".

No sir, when lane ends, I am the teams support, not the ADC's personal bodyguard.

that's fine and well, assuming you're supporting the people who need it most. just because lane phase over doesn't mean your ADC can instantly take care of himself in 100% of situations. this is actually why i never play kalista in ranked... lane phase ends and i never see my support again for the rest of the game, and rather than peeling for me in fights they're trying to make plays on the enemy carries.

The only times I've gotten raged at like that is when the ADC decides taking the second bot tower is higher priority than helping mid or top take theirs. I had a Draven and a Cait both rage when they got caught out at bot lane when we were pushing mid. Again last night had an ADC raging at the support and they literally said "It's your job to follow me around the map" - this occurred while we were all taking Drg and the ADC was farming top lane and got caught and killed.

yeah... i mean if they want to split push that's their choice. nothing you can really do about that other than maybe get some deep wards for them. i was talking more about defending turrets and teamfighting. too often i cycle mid to protect a turret and look around and its just me and our midlaner versus 4 people with our support off solo farming bot or something.

The top laner if he does good :] or maybe the jungler who got the mid laner fed in the first place

You support whoever needs it the most. If your mid is good and they're positioned well then you may as well peel for your ADC. Even if they're bad they still need to do damage in fights or you're going to lose the game.

As a support, you should support who is most likely to win you that game. Make the plays that are most likely to win you that fight, that engagement, etc...

If you have a brand who can burst people down and just needs protection during cooldowns, and you have a caitlyn who can never seem to stay away from that fizz and gets deleted every fight; then protect that brand. Or, based on who you are, capture that fish when he goes after your adc. If the person is constantly getting caught your team can at least capitalize on the enemy using ultimates and summoners.

as bad as he/she may be, you will still need to help the adc cause they are usually the biggest tower siege-ers late game. With a few exceptions..like tryn/fiora/yi etc.
