Over the top descriptions - I don't need 2 pages of what the apple looks like.
Unnecessary profanity - Chuck Palahniuk seems to be the exception for me but most of the time they just seem to be swearing just to swear (or to look like a bad a**)
Whiny PITA people in the main cast - One book, the fiance of the main character cheats on her with her sister, leaves her and actually marries her sister, ends up dying in a skiing accident and throughout the whole book the sister is mourning and rubs it in the main character's face that she doesn't know what it's like to lose a husband and how cold and insensitive she is towards her loss. Like dude, you're a b****. It wouldn't have been too bad if she contributed to the story but the author could've left her out and lost nothing. Or at least made her a background character. tl;dr - stupid people are stupid
