Poll (http://www.dorkly.com/toplist/30403/the-most-frustrating-situations-in-games).

Mine are:

1. Having a game's plot twist spoiled
2. Killed by hacker
3. Finding out your PC can't run a game you just bought
4. Dying when you haven't saved
5. Accidentally hitting "yes" when an NPC asks you if you need them to repeat entire explanation

Yours?

Max Payne 2 was the worst for me when it came to "Dying when you haven't saved" option.

I thought it would auto-save or have checkpoints like the first game but instead you have to manually save every time. Ended up loosing 1-2 hours worth of progress the first couple of times it happened with me.

Escort missions
Dying when you haven't saved
Encountering a shiny Pokemon and failing to catch it
Screwing yourself over by saving your game at a bad time

Dying when you haven't saved or games with not enough checkpoints/checkpoints not before a critical moment
Escort missions
Trailing missions
Glitchy/Cheap AI

Accidentally moving the story forward prematurely, cutting off incomplete quests.

Oh, no one has mentioned this yet and I am a little surprised as it slipped my mind as well, but the game freezing and you having to completely reset.
