    What annoys me most online is those god damned captcha images!!!

    Just bought tickets on Ticketmaster and near had a nervous breakdown with the things. Seven of them I went through.

    Surely there is a better way to find out if I'm a human.

    Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

    ...

    So, anyway .. what rattles your cage online?

    When you google a subject, click on the link, decide it's not the site you want and click on the 'Back Button' and it won't go. They've set a trap to keep you perpetually locked in a site where you don't want to be.
    Feck off.

    Trying to find information on the internet can still be infuriating sometimes. We tend to think everything can be found online so when it can't be found it's frustrating. Especially if you suspect it's there, just hiding somewhere.

    (as in, annoying - not directed at the above poster)

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I posted this in R&R before but the one of the things that annoys me most on the internet is those girls who think they look really cool/hot/sexy while doing some retarded-looking pout in their social networking profile picture.

    Exhibit A

    Youtube comments

    I could never understand why nearly every video on YouTube escalated into a racism row.

    I use to go back through the comments and try to find where it started but never could.

    Then on the Dr.B video I uploaded, I got my evidence - it's just random fcukers going round starting sh*t.

    Check out this recent comment on the video:

    I have never touched it, but my sister just finished Farmville, I'm so glad you can complete it and it is finite. They joined facebook about 3 months ago and my page was just littered with "Can someone gift me a horse" or other sh1t like that. At least there's an end in sight.

    She finished it in 3 months? Jesus, is she in Farmville rehab now? Some of my friends have been looking after their's for what seems like years. One of them asked me to feed her f*cking sheep or something when she was on holidays!

    It's nuts, unfortunately I still have 3 more of my sisters on it. The one who finished obviously has more time on her hands than the others. I assumed it was some kind of virtual world, I didn't realise it had levels and stuff.

    Excuse me but I'll have you know that a few AH clicks would be a mere ripple in the sea of hits that an OutlawPete vid receives.

    Why I'm nothing short of an internet sensation I tell ya.

    Second only to 'Leave Britney alone' :P
