One that gets me routinely is Android's two-stage quick control/notification drawer, which is further complicated by gesture-expandable notifications. It feels like a poorly thought out bodge to fit everything into a single screen. It’s annoying to me even as a software developer and must be terribly confusing to someone not well versed in the arcane incantations of mobile operating systems.

The two-swipe controls are truly evil and I can't believe it hasn't been fixed yet. The first screen shows you next to nothing if you have no notifications, which I never do.

Its a lot of work to get to quick control. The 4 they let you see on the first swipe is just not enough.

But wait, there's more! Even after the second swipe you have to swipe back and forth to get to all the controls.

But wait, there's more! In landscape mode the interface goes from difficult to downright infuriating.

Those interactions are kind of annoying but not because of animations.

		I would say that the interaction is enabled by the animation. Without the animation it would be even more nonsensical than it already is and probably wouldn’t have been implemented.
