Social networking sites. Facebook, Google+, Path etc etc...i don't fucking care. And no i don't want to join your ever so funny group about tea and riots. Twats.

Any game that requires an always on connection to play. Bastards. I'm looking at you Ubisoft.

1. How Flash plugins doesnt work with windows...no matter how many times you reinstall or how many 'fixes' you try from Adobes website/support forums. Can some twat from microsoft or adobe FINALLY admit that the two arent compatible and we might get something done about it?

2. Forums with 20 threads started whose subject line is 'Help'. The subject line should contain some information about its content. There are variants of this phenomenon, all of which render a forum practically meaningless at first glance.

3. Ads that appear in the middle of the content youre trying to read/watch. I know all about adblock and various other programs that help but thats not the point. ANY ads that appear in this manner have a complete and categorical effect on me that I will consciously boycott any product or services they offer.

4. ISP's who lie about the speed of your internet connection. 8 meg broadband should mean 8 meg....not 1.2 meg at its limit straining best.

Any more?

points 1 and 4 i dont agree with. I have never had any problem with flash plugins in windows. And as for the internet speed , you are supposed to know that your download speed will be approximately 1/8th of the advertised line speed.

Type flash crash into google and you'll see what i mean...millions of people are having the same problem...also...'youre supposed to know' doesnt cut it for me. If the ad says 8 mb unlimited broadband imo thats what you should expect, regardless of the small print

It doesnt it says UP TO 8meg

People from different countries moaning about City fans intending to wave the cross of St. George to fans of a team from yet another different country. Belligerence at it's best.

There are too many variables with twisted copper ADSL to guarantee a speed.
Also, what ragnarok says is sort of right, the 1/8th comes from the fact that your 'internet speed', if you like, is measured in MegaBITS (Mb), whereas Explorer, Firefox et al measure the file transfer rate in MegaBYTES (MB), and you guessed it, a bit is 1/8th of a byte. So it's less a case of 'your download speed will be approximately 1/8th of the advertised line speed', and more that people just don't understand the difference in the units used to promote things.
