I love the internet but it has many annoyances for me. Including (in no order):

- Those damn websites that don't let you leave by pushing the "back" key? They either keep you on the same page or take you back to their homepage. I can't stand it, it's like the site is trying to force you to stay there. Sometimes I need to use the back key if I can't remember the URL of where I was before, so it's really annoying. Why do some websites do this?

- Websites that have music on their pages and don't give you the option of turning it off.

- Websites that give you a new cursor for the duration of your stay.

- Websites that freeze when you try to click them away.

- Websites with pop up ads, especially when the ads are porn and the site isn't sex related.

- Spam/junk e-mail (especially when the spammers try and fool the filter by titling the heading like they know you).

- Spammers on forums.

- Trolls.

- People who use text speak ("u" and "r" for example) or just have really terrible grammar. I don't expect complete perfection but it annoys me when people don't even try and in some cases even flaunt that they type "kewl" or it's "quicker".

- Closed forums (IE forums that don't allow new registrations).

- Those fandom elite snobby crowds who think they're better than the rest.

- Sites with a ton of broken links/images.

I think those are the major problems with the internet, they're the ones that bug me the most anyway. How about your online peeves?

Okay, one.

YAHOO MAIL. *breaks all their servers* IT ISN'T LETTING ME DELETE MY SPAM EMAILS. :livid: I CAN empty out my Bulk Mail folder, but it WON'T let me do ANYTHING in my regular inbox page. :smash:

Oh Yahoo! is a pain. I'm always getting "temporary problem accessing your mail box, please try again later" messages when I try to go to my mail. I've emailed them about it but they've not answered me yet. Sigh.

Ok I have to agree with all of those. And Google. You do a search, and when you go to one of the sites, its not their anymore!

Sneaky, deceptive people. :mad:

- spyware
- everyone on this board (with a few exceptions)
- advertising, especially when they try to shove it down your throat
- :spam:
- when everything is slow
- viruses
- the fact that paid accounts/web hosting aren't free :crying:
- broken links and pictures
- when i can't find what i'm lookig for on google or whatever
- people who...
-- start **** with others/won't drop it
-- take advantage of the fact we don't know eachother and lie
-- freakishly hit on me when they see my picture
-- judge me by what i post
-- are stupid and just won't get a grip
-- refy00z 2 eva typ rit e/wach there typin @ all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
-- are cranky and can't take a joke
-- call me an attention whore because i like having fun or because i talk about my problems alot
-- are cliquey
-- accuse me of **** i havent done or they wouldn't know about
-- copy me
-- can't accept that not everyone is like them and they don't have to be
-- give people **** for having hate sites and call them jealous etc
--ban you from their site for bull ****

firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/) will cure half of those problems for you :)

Stupid cable modems that dont work every day :( Oh well at least the cable man came today

Dial ups modem. One of these days i'll be on the net all the time so Iwon't have to dial up all the time. I heard it makes the net 10 'xs faster any one else have cable modem?

Wow...you're right on with so many of those.

And really, how much longer does it take to type the "y" and the "o" in you?

omg...That pisses me off so much.

Rude people who judge others by their interests and place them under a label, people have a bug up their ass and are unable to laugh.

Those types of people can be found at this very board.

I hate spyware. I'm going to end up killing myself because it never goes away.

Okay, now Yahoo Mail seems to be working...I was finally able to delete the emails I wanted to get rid of. :o

I hate the internet. Everything about it... but I'm so addicted.

Pop-ups :rolleyes:

I know a few people here like that

One major thing I dont like about the net is how easy people can be scared and controlled to do something...

Like this HTTPS/HTTP thing.... I believe (And I still do) that the powers that be do not like us using older browsers because THEY DO NOT SPY ON THE USER.. So they scare people into accepting ALL HTTPS and they put this garbage on sites that have NO REASON TO FORCE SSL....

Do people really think they are more secure.... Do you really think they are gonna give you something THEY CANT SEE???

Thay made people think they are secure while they can still see everything your doing..... People are so deluded its not funny..... I am very very thankful to be on IE6 where I know im not being spied on by my browser......

Microsoft tried to scare ppl off of IE6 .. Why??

Because it wasnt letting ppl see what they wanted of people.....

People really make me sick how easily they are led..... 2020 was the last straw......
