For me the packers packed the UK yellow pages and phone book!
Oooh and the key fobs for the electric garage doors were packed too. They refused to unpack so we had to pay for new ones!
and the rubbish was still in the little bathroom bin when it got here too (but that was my fault!)

The whicker drawers, table baskets and towel baskets that we'd placed in one room devoid of anything else and told them specifically *not* to pack them because they were verbotten. 
Oh yea, the pig-thick arseholes also managed to pack a broken freezer drawer in its own massive box.

Ours were actually very clever - the wicker chairs were noted down as "office chairs"

We left the house in the morning to let the packers do their stuff. Kids finished up breakfast then we left. 2 months later we were reunited with a half empty box of coco pops and a half empty box of sugar puffs

One curtain rail. Not sure why they thought we wanted one but not the other

My gardening boots, 'rescued', from off the top of the wheelie bin, caked in soil with a good inch of mud stuck to the bottom of the sole.
Resulted in a nice letter from quarantine asking me to pay to have them destroyed or I could pay some ridiculous amount to have them gamma irradiated and then returned to me.

One slip-on shoe that I had left on top of the wheelie bin to throw out. Bless.

A friend moved this last weekend. The packers packed his mobile phone, which was on the counter well away from everything else. The packers did actually go through all the boxes - took them nearly 2 hours to find it!!!

Our packers packed the little screw-on thing from the pendant light when they had taken the lampshade off, and they also packed the remote panic button from the burglar alarm that had a 'Do NOT Pack' label on it.
