I thought I would share what is one of my biggest pet peeves:
Internet lists. Specifically, internet lists where you have to load a new page to see each new number. For instance, say it is Top 50 Health Foods. You start at #50, then click an arrow to load a new page to see #49, then load a new page to see #48, etc. Sometimes they even stick a commercial in between the pages to delay you further.
I would much prefer to see all the items listed on one page. Some of these articles list them as an option, but these are few and far between. Some offer a seperate scrolling window where you can scroll through the numbers and go to whichever number you want, but again, these are relatively rare.
I was on the CNN webpage this morning and saw an article for the Major League Baseball Power Rankings. When I went to the article, it was one of these lists where you had to click through 32 pages to see all the teams on the list. Needless to say, I decided against this, and instead went to ESPN's website, where they list the power rankings all on one page.
Usually I just refuse to click on these at all, since I find them so annoying. Even with today's faster internet, they load these pages up with commercials and graphics that end up slowing them down. Is anyone else irritated with these lists?
