My ultimate, pet hate for websites, is flash. WHAT kind of

decided it would be a good idea to make a website that it takes 10
minutes to get past some crappy flash intro without an option to skip
it...then followed by a whole host of animations and transitions that
take 20 seconds to change between pages...and then...the mother of all
irritations. Because they setup some internally handled nav system it
means that the back button on my browser takes me OUT of the site and
back to their bloody flash intro as opposed to the last page I looked at
within their site. It /must/ be some God awful attempt to punish me for
something I've not done yet...possibly the "designer" of that site's
impending slaughter.
Then, just to add salt to the already smarting wounds, you find the
site has won some bloody web building award!!!!!! WHAT????? The
fishing club I am a member of has just this sort of set up and yes
they won an award for it. It's bloody horrible!!!!!
Oh, my other pet hate is where sites are only configured for one
resolution. As is the new Yahoo Mail layout. It's awful with my res'
of 800x600. I don't want to change my resolution, why should I? That
smacks of Microsoft dictatorship :-(
