Not pictured but also terrible:
Enter your phone number in these three separate fields. We may or may not automatically take you to the next field when you've entered enough digits in this one.
Enter your phone number in this specific format (which may be: with dashes, with dashes/parentheses, without any punctuation, some other crazy thing). We can't simply extract the numbers on our end; that's unbelievably difficult.

Yeah I always wished for people to just give one text box for the number and a dropdown for the country of origin. I never understood the need to represent phone numbers as US only format(s) in the input.

oh how I hate this :)
Every second audio software has turn knobs you have to turn with your mouse. The "best" ones let you drag in a straight line (up or right = more), but even than it's a UI misery.
What you actually want: a slider where click holds the value and up and down than adds or subtracts. If the control is small, slow the movement while dragging (so you allways have to travel X pixels from min to max, no matter how small the control. beware of screen edges). Also please no jumping when hitting besides the handle.

Pick your area code from this dropdown.
