Absolutely yes to all of those! My literary pet peeves: Clichéd show-don’t tell—frequent eye-rolling and sighing; excessive face-making (he scowled, she frowned, his eyebrow quirked, she smirked); character playing with a Rubic’s cube to show he’s smart; character turning his back and walking away from an explosion to show he’s cool; character clenching fists so hard that her fingernails draw blood to show she’s angry (that stupid cliché is a book-waller for me). Anachronisms—current Twitter-speak in historic fiction; popular Facebook memes getting passed off as “wit.” Clichéd characters—her entire personality is “loves to read books! And not ebooks but real books because the smell is intoxicating!”; main character is a novelist/blogger/writer of some kind.

Honorable mention—Unnecessary and excessive use of the word “back” e.g. “She went back up the porch steps and back into the house then put the phone back in her purse and sat back down.”
