My nightmare of a GM was my first time LARPing. The GM was power hungry and basically would railroad everyone with a power trip of unimaginable annoyance. It was like truly stepping into the nightmare world of Vampire the Masquirade (sp) except it was broody and lame. Also to be far that GM had been going through a rough "emo-ish" kind of stage in his life. Now I'm sure LARPing could be awesome, but it sucked so hardcore that I walked away from it forever and felt sad (and a little ashamed) that as a table top RPGer I could actually look down on another group of people.

Your stories?

As for the best experience was actually a Shadowrun where our team took out a heavy JIS naval ship by doing all sorts of fun stuff. Our GM in this aspect is a great story teller and has made every single run we have done interesting and fun. I don't think there was one session where we didn't have fun sitting at his table. He wins my "Best GM award" as it made me feel that this was what everything a table top RPGs should be and finally was. It was like a small frightened child stepping into the light one more time and expecting to be burned again, but only to be bathed in a warm glow of warm glowie...ness.
