The other thread about favorite mechanics is great, so let's also do the opposite: what are some of your most hated mechanics?

Those hints to success "difficult parts". Some games think their players are braindead. If you have some trouble or spend a bit too much time doing a quest or killing a boss, NPCs or game interface constantly yells at us hints to skip those "difficult" parts. Games are more and more aimed for dumb casuals. I'd rather have the satisfaction completing a challenge by myself. Lets not forgot that today's games are increasingly easier and shorter (and pricier) than before...

I was playing TotK and today I finally figured out a hint that I'd puzzled over for hours. It felt very satisfying to finally get the answer without using a guide.
