I am very meticulous about my weighing, measuring, and logging but there are a couple of things I don't log:
1) Calorie free salad dressing. It has sodium but I am usually under so I don't worry about it
2) Sugar free gum and mints
3) lately I have not been logging my cherry tomatoes. I pick them and pop them into my mouth right away so they never make it into the house to be added to a meal. I then forget to log them. Yummmmmmm, fresh tomatoes off the vine and still warm from the sun

I don't log anything that has 0 calories. No point since the numbers are all that matters.
EDIT: I also don't log when I go out to eat at sit-down restaurants (which is very rare). It's too much of a hassle considering the lack of nutrition info available and one day in 2 months doesn't matter.0 -

Spices. I don't log them.
Also, I don't log the pink sweeteners I use in my coffee.
Pretty much everything else.0 -
I don't (usually) log things like the 2 tablespoons of pickles jalapenos on a burger, 1/2 cup spinach on a sammich, or a few bell pepper pieces thrown into a salad. Mainly out of laziness I suppose.0

Water, I drink lots but don't log it. Anything with 0 cals as can't see the point. I tend to guesstimate some veg (spinach, kale etc) as well rather than weigh everything (higher cal stuff like squash, beetroot etc I weigh & log though).0

zero calorie foods or drinks. I do mark my water though.
gum
ketchup.
Yes, I know that ketchup has calories.0 -
alot of the time i dont log at all. i just look up the calories if i have to (im getting pretty good at remembering the calories in my typical food items, and i dont have a very diverse food selection) and keep a mental tab. its worked pretty well so far, i have only plateaued recently due to sloppy weekends and drinking (which admittedly probably wouldnt happen if i was more strict with my logging, but whatev)0

Nothing I eat that doesn't have a calorie count.
Small walks, anything 20 min. or under, light housekeeping, or anything else that is not an actual workout.0 -
I dont log food, just exercise0

I suck at logging water. I don't log medications either.0

My logging is an estimation. Mainly because I don't own a food scale but also because I just don't care about the exact calories in things. I'm just looking to make sure I am getting enough nutrients/my macros and that i'm vaguely somewhere between BMR and TDEE.
Sometimes I forget to count things so I have to try to estimate how many grapes would fill a bowl half way etc. I don't nitpick low calorie healthy stuff but fats I tend to pay attention to more and measure because they add up.0 -
I don't log lifting.0

I don't log my gummy vitamins (10 calories a day)
I often drink *much* more water than I give myself credit for on MFP. I tend to just forget about it, or constantly drink/refill through the day and lose track of how many refills I have gone through.0 -
Anything I eat after 9pm.0

Vitamins.
Gee, I wonder if I can count my cherry tomatoes as a vitamin K supplement?0 -
Water, alcohol, and sex.
Usually my alcohol is outweighed by the sex.0
