good and bad writing techniques

The replies and comments to my poll about scientific accuracy in science fiction http://www.livejournal.com/users/watervole/139771.html#cutid1 were extrememly interesting. (If you haven't already filled in that one, I'm still reading replies to it - I'm tempted to do another poll focusing more on sociological and biological factors.).

Please could you try this one on writing techniques and expand on your replies in the comments. What writing habits annoy you the most in stories you read? What will make you put down a book before finishing the first page? What makes you hit the back button when reading fiction on the web?

[Poll #652911]
