Pet peeves of Design

So I was browsing a site and this absolutely annoyed me and I realize that there are some really annoying things in some design elements so I figured we could share.

 

So I hate when sites change my cursor. My arrow is just fine! Leave it the fuck alone! This is not a video game.

 

Additionally elements that say you can mouse over them but then you have to mouse over a tiny element WITHIN that element to see it. I have a big screen, ain't nobody got time for that!

Moving, flashing, moving things everywhere! Ugh! If it moves, I will immediately leave the site.

 

Ditto on the cursor thing.

 

Did I mention hating the moving, flashing, moving stuffs?

Someone somewhere went to sleep and dreamed us all alive.
Dreams get pushed around a lot, and I doubt if we'll survive.
We won't get to wake up, dreams were born to disappear.
And I'm pretty sure that none of us are here.

Hahaha....ha....

 

I actually don't like large avatars or having a lot of information in a mini-profile/below an avatar because I can't stand it when a post's container is longer than the content. I know it's the internet and it's not like we're gonna run out of paper on a website, but it really bugs me to see 3-4 inches of blank space between posts.

 

Now you know my dirty secret.

I reached LOL because I am the exact same way! It's my OCD.

 

However, we do have that issue at my sites. It was a conscious decision to put some basic character info below the avvies so that people didn't have to go find the bio to get the info for their posts. Still.... I HATE seeing a short paragraph and all this blank space. Another reason we promote doing short dialog tags within one post (editing in responses). It assuages my OCD.
