Love triangle (it's a romantic relationship involving three people and the characters has to pick either one.)
Example: "I don't know which one to p-pick," I stammered. "It's either me...or him," Mike said, looking at Jamie, who glared back. A girl who was listening rolled her eyes and grabbed one of Mike's and Jamie's hands and put them together. "You Mikey boy. Talk to Jamy here and then kiss." "Wait what im-" Mike started. "Gay." The girl said and gave them a agenda book. "What's-" "THE GAY AGENDA"
Why This Is Annoying: Why, I'm not sure since they seem to frustrate many readers to no end. Yet books with love triangles continue to do well, which is probably why we're stuck with them.
How To Fix This: One reason readers tend to hate love triangles is because they are predictable–it's obvious who the heroine favors. One love triangle book I have enjoyed and thought was done well was the Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare. She made you love both male characters and it wasn't obvious who the heroine would choose in the end. What this means is even if it's a mystery on who the main character will pick at the end, it should maybe stay. Because if you look above you will see why. This is mostly in YA books but also in Wattpad. So don't stop but actually make it a mystery on who she will pick. :D
