What is your biggest gaming pet peave?

So, with my 360 getting repaired, I decided to finally get Resident Evil 4 after 4 years of putting it off. I have to say it deserves most of if not all of the praise it gets combat wise. The one thing that bugs me though is the puzzles in the game though. Through chapter 1-3 every puzzle has been extremely easy, requiring almost no though, and less than a minute. Just as I am starting to realize how easy the puzzles are, I get thrown one of those sliding puzzles, where you have to make a picture by moving the tiles in a correct order. After several times having the picture almost done, and having one tile stuck on the other side of the picture, I decided this puzzle wasn't worth my time, but I don't like to use hints because then I feel the game has beaten me. For that reason, I don't like puzzles that seem to require either you to be able to think many moves ahead(I am a gamer not a chess player) or just guessing until you get the answer right. What is your biggest pet peave in gaming?

Unskippable cutscenes are bad. But whats worse is unskippable cutscenes you have to watch every time you reload a game after dying.
Add quicktime events to that and you've got my response.

Oh also character models that are too shiney, not gritty enough (Gears of War and such).

People walking in front of the screen while I'm trying to get a sniper shot off

Does that count?

I hate when enemies laugh at you after you die (I'm talkin' to you Uncharted).

Fucking timers.

When, oh when are devs going to realise that we hate them?

l33t haxx0rz on both consoles and PC, and people who argue over which is better between PC and consoles, both have their equal benefits

Frictionless Ice Puzzles [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main.FrictionlessIce]

I will never understand why these are put into video games. They only exist to waste your fucking time.

Worst offender for me was Pokemon Gold. I got stuck in the stupid Ice cave for far to long because of the frictionless ice. Tales of Symphonia also pissed me off with it, as the developers used this same puzzle twice in the game. By that point I was so bored that I just moved the characters in random directions hoping I would solve the puzzle.

People who use the words "noob" and "owned". Christ it makes you look fucking stupid. I've heard someone actually say "pwnt" only once, and I punched them. In the face. He still has no idea why I did it.

Fucking stupid ****.

Characters that repeat the same dialog over, and over again, and again.

"Feel the heat, feel the heat, feel the heat" that phrase repeated at least one hundred times in one boss fight!

(cookie for the reference)

Lol yeh, bad dialog is another one of my pet peaves, I am starting to get really into RE4, and then Leon and Salazar start exchanging terrible puns.

I do that if I feel the gunner is incompetent, it's a bad habit but worth it for the comedy factor.

They make good diversions too.

Cutscenes that can't be paused, they're really fucking annoying when you've got a housemate who needs your help moving her couch.

You punched someone in the face for saying a word you don't like?

Wow, you're a prick.

OT: Any timed section, ever.
