Watermarks on images not made/owned by the person watermarking it.
This is annoying for a few reasons, actually. The most obvious being that watermarks are unnecessarily obstructive to viewing the image. If it's a matter of trying to prevent your work being stolen or something, then of course this is understandable. But it doesn't really count as "your work" when the only thing you did was host it on your website...
And furthermore, even when the watermark isn't in the way of seeing the actual picture... adding the watermark generally requires re-encoding the picture, and therefore adding yet more JPEG artifacts... Which, while generally it isn't too bad for photos... the JPEG format tends to make pretty much anything else look like shit after it gets re-encoded more than once or twice.
These two things combined = eye cancer.
