I replaced my power supply on my desktop,it seems to have solved the problems,today I got a follow up questionnaire in my email (from Compusa)...A quick glance at the questions,they seemed more like a comment card,than some long survey about about what things I prefer...So I answered it...It's only the second time I've bought something off of them....I ripped them for their website,I explained it's not a place I go to browse/window shop,I don't like the search,a lot of the things I want to sort by are on the bottom of the page,etc,etc...

To me it's one of those stores, if I know what I want, but am looking for a better price.(I'll usually find their site through a Google shopping search)

So it got me thinking.....What are your worst websites to visit on the Web? Are there certain sites you'd visit more,but don't like something about the site...

(Alright no Bashing TDMMC (or any other Dolphins website),And let's not get into Fox news/Msnbc,Jets website...I'm not talking about bashing for content,unless we're talking about bad choices available on the websites

Godaddy. You have to click through 4 pages just to log in to edit your site. Its a pain. However, I bookmarked the third page, and I can go right to it now.

I wish www.MidgetEscorts.com still accepted Paypal payments, but other than that, I'm pretty content with my regular website surfing.

Bing -Almost completely useless for me...

Youtube - I watch pretty specific things,and have a handful of channels I subscribe to...(Barelypolitical (I like the Key of awesome, even though I don't have a clue what half the shit they're making fun of),Cooking with jack,jack on the go is my fav) I hate there is usually that add on my home page that starts to envelop the page..

MLBtraderumors -Love the content,hate the ads,they have those ads that seem to search your browser and throw what you've just searched for at you....and Video ads...I hate those the most....

Tomshardware - I remember Thundergod,told me about the site....I love the content on the site,I've changed my book mark to avoid it asking what language do I want to view the page,but I still get that annoying add occasionally when I try to dig deeper in the site...I also get Flash pop up that bitches at me constantly when I'm there....

Every search engine I try these days makes me wade through a bunch of garbage before I find what I am looking for.

I don't like any site that doesn't do anything but aggregate content from other places, so that you have to make 3 clicks jumping from site to site and loading new windows to actually see the content. 

I also don't like where someone has purchased a domain that doesn't do anything except house links, an adwords box, and have a search bar.  These are essentially squatters and they clog up search listings, making things harder to find what you really want.

espn and pretty much every other site that thinks it needs to have a fucking video on every page. i hate seeing an interesting headline, clicking the link and being directed to a video.  I can read just fine, I don't need some jerkoff in a tie reading to me.

I couldn't agree more.  This is one of my biggest pet peeves.  I can quickly scan an article to see if it's of interest, as opposed to being forced to watch 3 minutes of video (plus a commercial).  I'm fine if the content provider wants to include a video, but please include the corresponding text.

Gotta agree on the video thing. I HATE clicking on video. I'm almost always disappointed when I do.

To those who list ESPN as being an annoying site for video...I think you're either lazy or blind. Any link on ESPN that goes to a straight video clip, or any page without text, has the video camera icon next to the link. You can also set your ESPN preferences to "never" play video unless you click the play button on the video.

I find heavy video sites kind of annoying as well, but ESPN is one of the least problematic of the websites I visit, when it comes to that sort of thing.

Let me get you a tissue here... I really hate to see you so distraught over a sports website.

I hate the video thing, as well.  It's an inefficient way to get quick information across.  Unless it's actual sports clips, I find them to slow down the experience and make browsing more difficult.

The REALLY annoying thing about sites with video is when they start playing automatically. That's just totally BS.

I don't mind watching an ad to get to see a video I've selected, but don't start showing me EITHER ONE without me specifically pressing "play". (A video-only site would be different... this is for standard sites like espn and nfl.com)
