    Robert Ackley gets on Holden's nerves, much like just about everyone else Holden encounters.  Ackley has awful teeth, which he never brushes, lots of pimples, and a lousy personality, according to Holden.  Holden also hates the fact that Ackley  comes into his room and picks up things that belong to him and his roommate, Ward Stradlater.
