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
e: stealing art and using it 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.
Show me the product. If it's good it'll sell itself. Telling me everyone else has one doesn't make me want to buy one.

Talking to the floor

Rehashing 30 minutes of background that everyone should already know.
