For me: Cancelling paid subscriptions should be as easy as subscribing. I hate the fact that they actively hide the unsubscribe option or that you sometimes should have to write an e-mail if you want to unsubscribe.

Riding down a mountain road on a bicycle, going 50 mph, without a helmet on.

That is illegal in a bunch of places, riding a bike without a helmet

Non-profit scams. You can set one up, put out a call for donations claiming you do some blah blah blah work, and give yourself most of the money in the form of a salary/bonus. Only a small percentage of the money ever needs to go to anyone in need.

This happens in all sorts of corporate and religious charities. The NFL was technically non-profit for many years, and that should say it all.

Spam calls. Like, if you're willing to spend, what, 50 dollars?, you can absolutely destroy people's sanity with never ending calls from disposable numbers

Walking around absolutely drenched in water.

I think in the eu we have some legislation about it. I have the feeling of reading about a law like that before. Subscription buttons needing to be as clear as unsubscribe.
