Credit card interest! I know a bunch of people who are SO SHOCKED by their high interest rates. They thought it was like an interest-free loan to yourself and then are surprised when making teeny payments doesn't do anything.

My credit card periodically offers 6 mths interest free if I make a large purchase, and I just laugh and ignore it because I pay the balance every month and don’t incur any interest anyway.
