Mousing over a UI element causes it to expand and cover neighboring UI elements.
Floating menu bars that scroll with the page.
Overriding the browser's built in keyboard combos and context menus.
"Hero" header images.
Requiring Javascript to render static text.
Styling the scrollbar.
Modal dialogs of any kind.
Breaking the "Back" button.
I used a shopping website today, where mousing over the header pops up a fullscreen navigation menu, and the only way to close it is to mouse over an empty part of the header. Made me do a lot of cursor gymnastics when trying to switch tabs while avoiding the damn menu.
