Accelerated scrolling so that you can't accurately scroll anymore.

Locking part of the screen after scrolling partway so that only a tiny portion of it scrolls with scrunched up text.

It's everything wrong with modern website design.

PLEASE stop doing this!

U/X is about ease of access to information; not flashy tricks.

This! As soon as I try to scroll on a site and it overrides my browsers method I'm gone. There's no excuse. It's not necessary and just frustrates users.
