Male F/A's without ties.
Femals F/A's improvising their own sweathers and clog type shoes with open heels.

Oooh oooh - thought of another one... The F tray tables on the MD-80s that aren't actually horizontal after being pulled out. They hit the armrest on the other side and end up "kinked" in the middle. Everything ends up sliding around, and my laptop doesn't have a flat surface to sit on.

Getting my IFE movie interrupted by various announcements, which are then repeated in Spanish.

Not having a "From the Cockpit" option
Oh, and I second the interruption for announcements (especially when the entertainment isn't paused). Having it done in sometimes unitelligible Spanish is also frustrating (Si van a hacerlo, por lo menos que lo hagan bien!
)

At least it's only 2 languages... I was on a TPE-NRT flight where all announcements were made in Mandarin, Taiwanese, Japanese, and English. By the time they finished the "In preparation for landing..." spiel, they went straight to the "Welcome to Tokyo..." spiel.

Not giving you the ORD shower key, so you never know if someone will walk in on you!

You need to poke a hole in the lid before opening.

The stupid quasi-articulating split table arrangement in 767 NGBC.
