Of course I often stick to free books so if anything is lost it's just a little bit of my time.
My own pet peeve is when they offer a free sample of x % of the book and when you download it to your reader it only gives you the cover, some of the front matter of the book and the TOC. Sometimes you don't even get to read any of the actual text so that you can see if the author can string words together in a coherent sentence.

Did I lock the door? That is my biggie.
I agree with your pet peeve. On non-fiction, my biggest pet peeve is "congratulations for downloading this book".
