In any competitive game, golden snitch mechanics. If I'm kicking ass all game, I shouldn't instantly lose for making one tiny mistake at the 11th hour.

This pissed me off when I was watching a game show. Two teams played two rounds, where Team A got two questions right. Then, for the "final round", the prize score was tripled. Not only did Team B won, the third prompt was super easy, and Team A didn't get a chance at it. It felt so stupid.
