I hate sites that have absolutely broken validation of fields. Whether they require you to enter your credit card number without spaces (because stripping spaces is SO HARD!), expect dates in the brokenest format ever (MM/DD/YYYY, cue the angry Amurricans) without telling you, or disallow special characters in the password(!)... but my favorite would have to be those sites that throw an unfriendly "Your e-mail address is invalid" at you when you enter an address containing a + sign....

Wer sich über Incoming Links von einer Domain, die nicht verlinkt werden möchte, gewundert hat:...

Windows Update does this annoying "you absolutely must restart now, or later, by which I mean that I'll keep nagging you every 5 minutes" thing. It's a pain in the ass since the popup usually occurs only after you have just settled in to work - once all your programs are open and the windows arranged, WU pops up in the middle of your screen with a default button of "Restart now", which is also mapped to "N" (like "No").
