Title: Don't you hate it when...?
Post by: sage on October 25, 2012, 03:05 pm
You're waiting on one vendor to exchange your USD to BTC so that you can immediately return and spend it all on their page?  Makes you really appreciate the extreme cooperative effort that goes into making all of this goodness possible.  What are your thoughts on vendors who sell illicit product and cash MP/WU/etc?  Is this a risky practice in any way?  I feel safer, given the semi-out of escrow nature of BTC trading on here, knowing the vendor has a physical product that is sold primarily based on community reputation.  Something more to lose than just $150 BTC vendor account with a few dozen transactions.  They also charge more modest rates in my experience, probably because it's as much like cashing out at the casino as it is providing me with a service.

*StExo feels disappointed as he thought this thread was going to list the endless things people get annoyed about in general life and not be a singular rant about a problem we all experience anyway and wish the thread was open to more diversity....*

Yeah, but we can make it whatever we want. I'd like to start of with 'capchas'. The capcha to get into Silk Road aint that bad but some of them are fucking unreadable. And while we're at it....passwords and usernames for all kinds of shite web sites that I might only visit once or twice in my life and yet they expect me to set up a freakin account and remember a password. I must have about 100 different passwords and can't remember a single funckin one of them.....

I'll give you that rant for free.....

Bugmenot.com is often a good solution for that..

And another thing....I hate those auto-run videos you get on some web site. You'll be happily reading an article when some knob starts talking about minty fresh Colgate breath. Sometimes if you have more than one page tabbed you'll not be sure where the fucking video is coming from. Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Similar myself, or you're reading an article and one of those annoying on-page popups happen with no fucking close button on it so you have to keep refreshing the page and reading it bit-by-bit.

Try Adblock Plus :P

I know, not like I need any just yet. Surprisingly those make $xxxxx per day ones, most people do fall for and buy E-books and the like the gullible cunts. The 419 scams are hilarious though I've got to give them that, I actually went along with one for ages not giving them real details of course and I was speaking on the phone to the "bank's representative" who funnily enough was also a senior official of the secret service and a respectable independent businessman, plus a call centre operator. Had a bit of a laugh though, kept them on the phone for 2 hours and they were paying the bill as they called me on an international line :').
That's fucking awesome ;D
