¡Qué vaina!
It means, how annoying! in part Colombia, but I would like to know if it is used elsewhere.

I've never heard it in Mexico where I live, but it might be used in some other regions; probably the South-East, which has a lot in common with Central American countries.

My first-year roommate at university (mid-late 1970s), who was from Venezuela, often used this expression. He also used "esa/esta vaina" to mean "this/that stuff/thing".
