1) Putting either a big full-width image or a big full-width text box across the top of the page, pushing all the useful content "below the fold". Bonus points if the text box contains information that is irrelevant to 95% of readers. (I'm looking at you, forecast.weather.gov .)
2) Sites designed by people who buy a new top-of-the-line Mac every month and have a gigabit connection at work. They don't test how well their 17 GB of Javascript works on a 3-year-old computer with "only" a 25 megabit connection. (Yahoo Groups, for example.)
