Defining what we mean exactly is a good idea.
The list of the worst parts must include the Technic motorcycle steering
boss. A 2x2 brick with a protruding arm with the end cranked at an angle.
How could you EVER find a use for it. It's also used on the lift of the 8462
breakdown truck.
Also studless beams with 2 bends, corrugated tubing, I'm sure theirs more!
Incidentally I've recently found a use for 8 of those handles you fit on
pneumatic switches (designed as a selector in the technic shuttle), normally
their useless too.
