Oh yeah, those are the worst! I also hate those REALLY annoying flashing ones that could give people seizures. Jeez...

Bleh, I get those dang things on my email page everytime I check it. The level of advertising on the internet is obscene and far, far too intrusive. :frankiemad:

Which is especially annoying when I am trying to listen to music as I surf.

I've seen and heard those ads before and the ones that annoy me the most are the ones that say, "Congratulations. You've been pre-approved to receive a free [insert product name]."

Seizure causing ads?? What is this planet coming to?

Personally, the internet ads that really bug me are the ones that disguise themselves as a 'game.' Ex. "Shoot ten targets and win a free [insert product]."

They certainly get my attention, but not in a good way. I won't buy anything from a business that uses ads that are that irritating.

GM and I went to the State Fair today, and we both wore our Comic-Con shirts that have the Tick on them. We were walking and some boy was all "Cool Tick shirts!" and one of the adults took a closer look and blurted out in the SNOTTIEST tone ever, "Oh they're COMIC-CON shirts!" Another adult in the group asked her what Comic-Con was and I couldn't make out what she said but it was in the same snotty tone. WTF? She definitely wanted us to hear the first comment anyways...It was just super rude. *shrug*

What that person has against Comic-con shirts, I'll never know. At least it's cool that the first guy liked the shirt, though. :P

Dying time and time again at the same part on a video game.
Hypocrites
Discussing politics or religion
Headaches

Worse still are those ultra-persistent ones which actually follow you and continue to get in your way when you attempt to navigate down the page and just ignore them. :P
