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.

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.

Where do I begin....?

My little brother
Disney ANYTHING (except Disneyland itself)
Noobs who think they know everything (video games)
Animal haters (hate dogs? then get away from me!)
Dying time and time again at the same part on a video game.
Hypocrites
Discussing politics or religion
Headaches
Traffic
Nintendo Wi-fi (sometimes)
Warner Brothers (boycott due to Harry potter 6's new release date)
Homework
Drugs

That's all i can think of so far.

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.
