people using slides as books instead of road maps
Using entirely text instead of converting some concepts to graphics - WHY are you giving a presentation?
Inappropriate color combinations (red/green is a bad one)
Using weird fonts in professional presentations

Presentations for a product that start with 20 minutes about their place in the market, reviews, and so on. I can't stand that marketing bullshit.
