How many times have you visited a website and say “That was and awful site!”. I have said my self too many times.
I turn JavaScript off on many websites, for the fear of having something go off that I do not need to see like - popups.
I dislike flash intros, unless they are the main reason for visiting the website and provide entertainment.
I am sure everyone has a pet peeve about website - Heck I am redesigning my own website because I think it loads too slow, due to the rounded corners. Slow loading websites are another turnoff.
So what is your pet peeve about a web site?

Nielsen//NetRatings today also released the top 10 search engines for November 2005 (see Table 2). Google Search continued its lead with 46 percent of all searches, followed by Yahoo! Search at 23 percent, and MSN Search at 11 percent. AOL Search garnered seven percent of searches, and My Way Search saw three percent.
