Maybe it’s just me, but filling out online job applications is a disgusting, tiresome job, and I seem to have such a difficult time even getting the sites to accept a password. Banks are the worst. (not to mention the lame quizzes). And on some, like JC Penney, you have to sit through a video of someone explaining what a keen place it is to work for, before moving on.
I could not agree more! I LOVED that site!
I don’t know if it’s my computer, but I swear every time I do an advanced search on here it always clciks into search. With nothing in there and says wait 90 seconds. :mad:
Kohl’s… I was trying to order some sheets and the stupid website didn’t bother to tell me the sheets were out of stock until after I had created an account and entered all my information. Grrr…
IMDB is an unbelievably shitty site. A hideous, vile, wretchedly designed monstrosity of a website, completely loaded down with annoying, frustrating, screen clogging ads of all kinds - so many that when new ones pop up they actually alter the position of the search bar and other functions. They change the interface every 2 weeks; they always add totally unnecessary crap. I despise this site.
I always feel dirty when I end up getting linked to 4chan. Always. That website is good for one thing and one thing only: concentrating all the idiots and morons into one place and keeping them away from the rest of the Internet.
I’m also thoroughly annoyed with YouTube. Half the time the movies don’t load the whole way and I have to skip them ahead a second or two to finish them.
This. We tried to go to a new restaurant today for lunch, (Texas de Brazil). After fighting with their website for 20 minutes we said screw it. There are two other great Brazilian Steakhouses in this town. And while their websites are pretty shitty too, at least I could get a menu and an address I could copy and paste into Google Maps. When the revolution comes I will personally make sure that every web designer who used Flash on a restaurant website is among the first against the wall.
Youtube has been annoying me for awhile. It seems certain things are against the rules, but when certain user do them it’s not voilating policy. :rolleyes:
What kills me about Consumerist is how good it used to be. Now there’s barely anything worth reading. They used to do investigations and stuff. I still remember when they posted a video of two Domino’s employees doing nasty things to the food (sticking cheese up their nose and stuff) and commenters managed to track the people down and called corporate and got them fired. Now? “10 Ways to Do XXX That Nobody Cares About.” “Get Discount on YYY.” “Don’t Do [some incredibly stupid thing that nobody with an IQ above room temperature would even consider].”
And of course, the monthly Evil Walmart Receipt Checker thread with 300 comments where it is insinuated that those of us who just want to get the hell out of the store without a fuss are regime collaborators and that the Nazis began their rise to power by making the Jews show their receipts when they left Wertheim.
My homepage is like that! 
IMHO, I like the dark background, because staring at that much WHITE hurts my eyes. It’s like a lightbulb!
Dunno about the Safari iOS browser, but the (free) Atomic Web Browser for iPhone lets you do this. Lately I prefer the Safari version, though, so I haven’t been using Atomic. But damn, it’s not like iOS’s Safari is some obscure browser - at least fix the fucking “I’m not going to redirect you to your article” problem!

I DESPISE black backgrounds with white letters. Knock it off. Unless it’s really important information, I’ll skip it and look for information elsewhere.

IMDB - hideous, wretched, vile, annoying, frustrating - add swarming with immature morons who can’t spell, and you are describing the message boards there, to a ‘t’.
I’m kind of hating the new Netflix “watch instantly” web page, and I’m not alone.
I third (fourth, fifth?) IMDb. What a bloated monstrosity that site is!
Personally, I love black sites with white font. I find it to be way easier on the eyes and it looks “clean”. I also like the black sites when in bed with the lights out because they don’t overwhelm with light.
I really cannot stand Youtube. I don’t get how the search results and recommendations can be so bad, given the site is owned by Google. What I really hate is when I’m watching video 2 of 6 and the recommendations list video 4 of 6, 5 of 6, 6 of 6, but not 3 of 6! I have to manually find 3 of 6, then back track for the rest when the video ends. Grrrr.
Sony.
On their Playstation website is almost impossible to find what you are searching for. I was looking for the latest update a couple weeks ago, searched for and went to the update page, and it wasn’t there, and there was no link to any other page with it. It’s almost impossible to find anything there.
When I was looking into buying a TV, none of their pages with info on models of each TV have much information on them. They have their manuals online, but they aren’t linked to from that model’s page. You have to go to the main Find your manual page, and search from scratch.
They let you ask them questions, and they’ll respond by email. “Great!” I think.
Q: “Which 46 inch LED LCD models support picture in picture?”
A: “We appreciate your interest in Sony products! Due to the complexity of our products, we are unable to assist you”
They can’t even find anything on their own website.
AENOR. The Spanish Association for Standards, ISO’s local correspondent.
Everything is in the tiniest possible size. The fuckers don’t follow their own regs on website accesibility, yeehaw. Their search engine sucks too 
The website of any car maker is invariably a horrible mess of flash animation and Java that will either not work at all or crash my browser. It’s not possible to present any basic information about a car without putting it on a bed of spinning wheels and flashing lights.
My hometown newspaper’s website, The Cincinnati Enquirer is pretty awful. There are sometimes articles amidst all the ads, surveys and everything else they cram in there.
Oh, and not a specific webpage, but many hundreds. Thousands. Perhaps millions. The ones which have a list of countries in a language other than English which follows alphabetical English order (Espana right after Salomon (Is.), of course no tildes). The ones which can’t deal with bilingualism (I do not live on Barrio Rojo, set between two other areas called Gorria Auzoa - it’s the same place!*). Seriously, is it so incredibly difficult? And of course, Google Maps does that “can’t deal with bilingualism” thing and everybody seems to use their databases (including TomTom), so giving directions to delivery people is a PITA the size of Australia.
- No, that’s not my actual address. But pretty much any street beyond a block long in bilingual Spanish areas is guaranteed to play Morse with its own name. I haven’t checked Quebec or Belgium, to name two.
Photobucket needs to stop changing stuff. Why would you make a useful feature, and then take it away with the next update?
