Annoying things on the net

Have you ever been on websites that make you fume with anger. Sure you have! There are endless amounts of websites that haven't given any thought to what users think of their website or simply do not care, they just want it to be cool.

So today I just thought of putting up a list of things that I find most annoying on the web. (not in any specific order)

1. Ridiculous URLs
• Some times the URL is so long that when you paste the URL on to an email it wraps on to the next line and so it breaks and cannot be directly clicked
  
2. Pop-ups
   
• Do I need to say more?
  
3. Overlaid adverts
   
• New evil brother of pop-ups
• Just like a pop-up but they appear on top of the article and not on a separate window. AND pop-up filters won't work on these bastards!
  
• News websites seem to like these. And they make them appear on EVERY page you go ARRRRRRRR!!!
  
4. Non-cross browser tested sites
   
• Site breaks up on Firefox big time!
  
• Is it so difficult to check that your website works at least on Explorer and Firefox
  
5. Annoying javascripts
   
• Stops you from right-clicking
  
6. Pure Flash sites
   
• Sometimes there is just no reason whatsoever to use flash. E.g. the site looks exactly like a normal website but is done with flash. So much wasted effort. Why can't these sites make an HTML site as well if they must use flash
  

That's all I can think of right now, maybe more later.
