This is so important. A lot of these things are only problematic because most normal people don’t know how to read graphs. But some are bad for all audiences.
One I have seen occasionally that truly shocks me is non-linear labeling of numbers on an axis—for example, 2, 4, 8, 10, 14, 16, 20. With equal space between each given number.

Graph would be much better with labels, tic-marks on the horizontal axis.

I know people like that. Being at least somewhat polite to them is extremely challenging.
