The tunes that leap to mind:
Duke's 'Loveliest of Trees' - at one point in undergrad I had the transition memorized, practically. These days, not so much.
Strauss's Zueignung - you know the section.
I love this section of Chanson Triste, but I hate sightreading it.
With Quilter's Love's Philosophy I'm fine until I get to the end. That's where my LH shrugs at me:
I'd love to hear thoughts on other tunes that people find blink-worthy in a sightreading situation. Feel free to add on ideas.

I can't remember which, but one of the more obscure editions of the Brahms E-flat Clarinet Sonata starts on the right-side page, and then puts the famously difficult piano solo bars right at the top of the second page. It's like opening a Christmas present and finding a cobra inside.
