Could you give an example of an edit you found annoying?

This one did annoy me, fwiw:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5151227

The original submitted title was "Minecraft's Monster Profits". Minecraft was something I recognized and was interested in. When I tried to find the thread again to see what people had been saying, I couldn't see it and had to hunt around for a bit. Mojang meant nothing to me, and my eyes even kept misreading "Mojang" as "Mahjong", just to add another layer of confusion.

When the actual text of the article doesn't match the title.

Link Bait.

In these instances, the submitter to HN can use a more appropriate title for the content.
