Things I don't enjoy about New Zealand (or, "Things I won't miss when I go home"):

Certain NZ road rules that don't make a lick of sense
Expensive cosmetics
Horridly expensive internet
The rat tail coif that seems to have made a (miraculous) comeback with young Kiwi males
Indiscriminately bad popcorn
Grammatical errors. They're everywhere.
People are very reserved, and so I try to be too, much more so than I really am
The dismal selection of greeting cards. They're few, never funny, often cliche, lacking sentimentality, and wretchedly expensive.
Tourists. They're everywhere.
I am often shown how pc Americans are when I am made to feel awkward by what is considered appropriate in New Zealand (but would be considered shockingly un-pc, even tasteless, unintelligent, or inarticulate in the States. For example, I once heard a news anchor report that someone "must have had balls").
