Things that annoy me:

[conuly]

Right now, it's blackboard.com, where I submit one homework a week in Latin (theoretically). I disliked it when I first signed up, because it reccommends that you make your blackboard password the same as your email password. Um, why? That's a direct violation of the Very Important Rule: Have more than one password! I have three emails. Four, if you count the LJ one. One is used ONLY for signing up for things. One is used ONLY for personal mail. And the other is my yahoo backup, which is mostly used ONLY for a few yahoo mailing lists. Occasionally I consider moving all my non-friendly emails there. Each of those has a separate password, and nobody, but nobody, even knows where my "signing up for things" email is.

However, I can understand why they would say that. After all, it's a school site. A very boring one. Nobody is going to want to steal the password for your blackboard account. Fine. But why, then, isn't it possible for them to set up cookies so I don't have to log in EVERY damn time I visit? If I go away for a minute, I have to re-login! Are they security conscious or not? If they're not, I'd really like to be able to quit logging in to the damn site.

Oh, and the layout is really unintuitive, but that's standard.

I used Blackboard last year for English and it ate a discussion assignment I had posted, which meant I had to go to the trouble of explaining that to my teacher :/ it's an annoying thing.
