Verborrea with all the buzz words strung as closely together as some genius of a script writer or page designer can get them.
On the bright side - if that's what they need to sell their snake-oil descended products than I should be grateful I can stop reading immediately.

Errors in the documentation and demo's that don't work.
If you don't even know how your product works then how am I supposed to work with it!?

"Pretty much all of the above".
And also, while we're here ...
Email addresses that validate wrong, like not accepting hyphen in domain names. 
Password boxes that don't tell you the "rules" unless you break them - I enter the password, I enter it again to confirm, I ENTER, you say "needs to be nine letters". I extend it, I ENTER, you say "needs at least one uppercase letter". I faff with the case, I ENTER, you say "needs a special character". I ADD A SPECIAL CHARACTER, I ENTER, YOU SAY "needs a hieroglyph", then a blood sacrifice, then a dusting of powdered unicorn horn, then ... I sod off elsewhere and never come back.

The email address - where they don't accept domain that aren't common enough (as though spammers don't use common TLD's). I have a .info domain I use for most common return addressing (via a catchall).
If it's rejected then they are, in effect, rejecting my business.

The password thing is infuriating. Like, "haha, you broke the rules we didn't tell you!" Byeeee

Password boxes in particular are the biggest gripe that I have. Ugh...

Funnily enough I ticked all of the boxes thinkng why isn't there an "all of the above" option...
Totaly agree on the password bull*%$#. Restricting password length is my bugbear.

I have a password system that includes all this stuff, but then I encountered a sites that:
- do not take that specific special character you used in your password
- password is still too short (eg needs to be longer than 16 or 20 characters)
- password cannot be longer than 6 characters.
I repeat: "Password can not be longer than 6 characters" 
This last one was even worse since it ACCEPTED my initial proposal, and it just refused logging me in ... several readme's and helpdesk mails later, that was the response...
