Reading an e-book and suddenly wondering why the table of contents is at the “start” and the index is at the “end” instead of being dedicated zones of the UI entirely outside the flow.
(Oh, right, because Amazon bought every single promising e-book upstart 10+ years ago and doesn’t care, and the lone person Apple has had working on Books.app has only so many hours in the day, right, I forgot).

(Now annoyed further, realizing for the seventh or eighth time that Knuth worked out on-screen typography pretty much my entire lifetime ago and still no one’s bothering to implement those algorithms on hardware 1e6-1e9 times more capable).
