My pet peeve is address forms that give you a State selection in a dropdown. It's so much easier to just type "NJ" than to hunt down the state from the list. Then I have to go through the same thing for the credit card expiration month and year.

Typing "NJ" is easier than finding and selecting it from a list of 51. Typing a 1 or 2 digit month is easier than finding it on the list (especially when you have to translate between month names and numbers), and typing the year is likewise easier.

It's not always easier to select. And it's not saving the programmer any work: you've still got to make sure that I didn't use firebug to mess with your selection list.
