My current hates:

www.Argos.co.uk (crap shop anyway, but ...)
www.Nectar.com

The Nectar site is actually so badly implemented I wonder if the
authors ought to be allowed to build sites in future. It's kind of
like if I asked someone to build me a house and none of the doors or
windows would shut properly, the roof leaked, and eventually the whole
house collapsed. There's definitely an argument in the two sites above
for web site designers being licensed by a proper professional
institute.

Here's some rather more direct action you can take:
