There are a number of things on the internet that suck- here’s my top 10:
10. Multi-color, rapid flashing banners congratulating me for being the millionth visitor. If I were really that lucky, I should start playing the lottery.
9. Popups piggy-backing on a link… I click the link to go somewhere, and while the page changes, an ad pops up in front of me. Site Point is an example sites that do of this. Actually, I think pop-ups in general describe number 9 best.
8. Chain emails. Email is not new anymore. Everyone uses it, and the novelty is wearing off. When will people learn that Bill Gates isn’t watching who they forward it to, and will not donate $1 to some armless, legless, kid with cancer living alone on the streets of Uganda by the name of Janji.
7. Trying to unsubscribe from an email advertising list you didn’t want to be on in the first place, and then have to send or confirm 30 additional emails during the removal process… later to find out you’re still getting the same spam, only now it’s coming from a different From address.
6. Having to sign up or register for every other website on the internet. When will they create one master login for everything? Google’s going in the right direction.
5. RIAA and MPAA. I’m tired of every other news article being about who they’re sueing, or how much money they’re losing now. Either get new techniques, or give up already. P2P will never die.
4. As a web developer myself, I can’t stand websites that break standards. If I view some site in Firefox on Ubuntu, it better look identical to IE on Windows (unless of course it’s IE that breaks the standards, ugh).
3. Broken links. Don’t you just hate it when you FINALLY find that perfect resource, and the links broken? Then on top of that, there’s no old cache of it? It’s just plain gone. Makes your heart sink, doesn’t it?
2. Slow loading websites. Like I mean sites that feel as if they were hosted on someone’s old 486, connected via their residential 56k dial-up. If you run a website, spend a few dollars and buy decent hosting.
1. Community-based websites that completely sell out. For example, MySpace has more advertisements crammed into every page than I would have previously thought possible.

i agree with all of those, but as a teenager who uses msn and has 200+ contacts.. there is a new breed of anoying emails.
and the name of this demon spawns email is… “(contacts name) has tagged you :)”
you may think its somthing normal .. i meen. at first i thought it was ok.. but once you inbox is full of 50 emails just saying that i have been tagged, even 5 times by the same person T JUST BUGGS THE HELL OUTA YA !

I agree with all of them, except #6. Having one master login means a hacker only needs to steal one password to completely own your life.
I’ve sort of gotten used to the nuisance of all these other things. The only thing that really bugs me now is the pop-over ads. You go to a news site for example, to read an article, and a banner ad pops right over the text you’re reading, forcing you to search for a tiny little X somewhere to shoo it away? Who in the name of god thought this would be a good idea? It’s like sitting in a coffee shop reading your newspaper and a salesman shoves a pamphlet in front of the story you’re reading and won’t move it away. You’d wanna punch the hell out of him. With pop-over ads, you’re completely helpless except for wishing you could press a button somewhere and throttle the life out of the guy who inserted it onto the page you’re trying to read.
