I go DNF if:

--I am over 100 pages in and my interest is not piqued by the characters or the plot.

--If a character does something mortally stupid clearly because that's the only way the plot will move forward. See several YA paranormal heroines--"Okay, so this mysterious hot guy has told me that he's dangerous, I should stay away from him at all costs, and has been consistently rude and sometimes violent...I should totally meet him at midnight in the abandoned house!"

--If it's an historical setting with anachronistic language/sensibilities. Nothing throws me out of an allegedly medieval setting than having someone say "Oh yes, Sir Beefcake is quite a hot hunk of man" or "Milady, get over yourself."
