My bank's website. For example to get my account statement, I have to select which company I want, which account I want and what type of statement I want. Even though I have exactly one company, exactly one account for it and exactly one possible statement I can ask for.
I was going to cite some specific examples but really the entire site is a perfect case study for bad UI.
On the other hand, it is extremely well optimized for revenue (but that's a different discussion).
everything is forum style with a shitty forum implementation :/
Sometimes it is just not about the UI. I can live without the best looking websites, but if the functionality is equally broken as the UI, then it is really frustrating. One of my biggest pet peeves is the back button not working in many websites. Many systems just tell you to log in again and it just freaks me out.
HN? :-) If Reddit is "Spartan but functional", HN is positively Hittite. "We'll impale you on an iron stake and let you die slowly outside the city gates if you don't like it" user friendliness. Oh well, at least it keeps the barbarians out.
Craigslist. In spite of the UI, it's still the best place to locally buy/sell used stuff within the US. It has been like this for years though, so at this point I doubt they'll make any significant changes to the user interface.

They recently made changes, but I really love the simplicity of the UI. Minimalist. What is it that really makes it a poor UI, lack of gradients or lack of ajax. I think it does what its supposed to do exactly how it should be done.
see a pattern
