Like the author of the blog post I refer to below, one of the most common and mis-used, abuses of, and antipatterns I've seen is the wrapping of the DI model in a static container.
I recently found an excellent article that explains in great detail why this is a bad idea and a big anti-pattern - http://www.devtrends.co.uk/blog/how-not-to-do-dependency-injection-the-static-or-singleton-container.
Hopefully, this will help improve your understanding of what DI is and how it should not be used.
