Not so much a GM habit as a mechanic. But I can't stand it when one's moral or mental stability is gamified. Things like "Sanity" aren't something you can staple to a chart or a dice roll. They're highly personalized responses to trauma and stress and should be roleplayed, not rolled .

I think there's some specific horror-genre games where it can make sense (tho' I haven't played any, not my cup of tea), but in things like D&D? Yeah, no Sanity stat, thanks.
