I do not really think about citing work in my daily life to be quite honest. I just do it when I need to because it is pretty necessary, but it's not difficult and takes about two seconds. People who get annoyed by it should stop whinging. I have to cite work in debate all the time so I am pretty numb to it now. It's appropriate to cite work in a professional or academic setting when you would otherwise be stealing somebody else's words/research/idea. Also, it makes your work that you're using the research for more credible, especially if the source is impressive. It's important to cite work because otherwise we devolve into a society of thieves.
