Annoying little things in video games

I've been gaming a lot lately which means that I've had some quality experiences.  I've also come across a fair few minor flaws in the various games I've been playing which, while certainly not enough to ruin a game, can be a source of irritation and temporarily lift you out of the game.  So, I've decided to compile a list of the silly little things in video games that get on my nerves.  I'd be interested to see if anyone else has a) experienced these and b) been annoyed by them too, so leave a comment if you have.

Eternal Sonata

When you first visit Agogo Village in Eternal Sonata, it is likely that you'll want to visit the item shop - there are lootable items lying around and you'll be able to get plenty of money for your pictures from recent boss fights.  The problem is, you're likely to get stuck because a rather portly NPC likes to block the narrow path out of the shop and talk to you about his tour-guide mother.  He does eventually move out of your way but it's a bit of a pain having to wait.

Dead Rising 2

Doors.  Being able to close them in a game set in the thick of a zombie apocalypse is certainly a good thing.  Deciding to close one and mysteriously ending up on the wrong side of the door with the zombie horde however, is not.  A minor annoyance, maybe, but...zone through a door and lose your last block of health while trying to seal yourself inside a maintenance room to make the weapon that you know will get you through, and you might find yourself slightly more than slightly annoyed.
