I wouldn't mind so much if they bothered to tell you what format they expect. If they don't tell me what format to use I expect them to have been competent enough to take any format I choose. If they ask me to use a particular format then it's on me if I get it wrong, because they told me what they expect.

Same with an email field that doesn't allow absolutely valid characters (by spec). Better if the error message doesn't tell you what the problem is.
