Hate it when a website asks for a phone number and throws this error at you:

Please correct the following errors:
Phone please use the format 555-555-5555.

LEARN TO FUCKING PARSE!

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.

Sounds like bad coding standards to me

Not to mention that there's more than enogh libs that do that perfectly

Remove all non-digits, check the country code, and check the length. Super easy. 😕

Even worse if you're not American.

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.
