One terrible combo is infinite scroll plus links in the footer (Bing does this, if you needed another reason not to use that site). I think pagination is generally a better pattern, since you can link to a specific page.
Also lack of back button functionality and having your state reset on refresh are also pet peeves.
I'm pretty sure you can disable it in options, because it has defined pages for me.
Related, pagination can still get broken if you try hard enough. Some sites have pagination, but bump up the id of old posts every time there's a new post, so it's still useless because the links will change content
That's probably the worst thing I've read today, it's such a bad thing to do on so many levels wtf
Sometimes it becomes a race between me and the site implementing infinite scroll to see if I can reach the footer before the site can load more content; the only time I curse my internet connection for being good
