What are your personal pet peeves, when it comes to general web / online / digital stuff? I'm gonna start with one of my most-hated "features": lazy loading technique taken too far (as in "load images / assets only when the user scrolls down") The general idea behind it was certainly fine and noble: Load + show additional content only if the user decides to scroll further down a page, otherwise hide that content. Avoid having to wait for content loading that I might - or might not - be interested in. Problem is, that some site-owners not just use, but abuse that method. Case in point: Flickr. It's almost impossible to reach the footer links / menu, because the page keeps loading new pics forever. You may see the footer for a split second, but it disappears again, when addtl. content loads. What's wrong with using pagination? Is that too "old-school"? Making it hard for visitors to reach a certain navigation section is certainly not "best practise", or user-friendly. Some sites have simply exaggerated it to the point, where I'd rather see a "skip intro" button (and that's saying something!). So, what's your favorite pet peeve, when it comes to websites, apps et al?
