Being asked your birthdate in order to view a game on Steam, and the year dropdown not going back far enough.
Or not being able to play a board game, because it says "ages 9 - 99" on the box.
Date pickers that assume you have a 5 digit birth year.
Worse still, no manual entry of the birth date, so it takes ages to scroll down and select the year.
I once entered an extremely far back yet technically plausible birthday there and steam just wouldn't accept it. I remember thinking "what if Kane Tanaka wanted to check out this steam game, you just wouldn't let her?" (RIP by the way, she was the last oldest person whose name I learned. They change too often)
