Today, while trying to work and surf the web, I became really ticked off at the load time of one of my favorite websites, MLB.com . It was not the first time I had to sit there and wait just to get last night's scores and highlights, so that spurred me on to make this list of my top 5 most annoying websites.
Tim's Top 5 Most Annoying Websites
1. MLB.COM
You mean to tell me that you can not afford a team of web developers to speed up your website's load page times ? Give me a break.
There is just no excuse for this. If I did not love baseball so much, you would be blacklisted from my internet adventures. And no, it is not my internet connection , it is YOU! Big BOOS for you!
2. Facebook
When I first got on the Facebook bandwagon, I thought it was great.
I was finding a bunch of old friends who I had not heard from in years, saw what they were up to, pictures of their families, it was awesome. I was addicted.
Now, Facebook is way too commercial for me. All of a sudden I am seeing advertisements pop up in my stream? What is that about? I did not opt-in for this.
Do not get me started on those silly games. If I see one more request for Farmville, I am going to burn that farm down! Enough.
Also, my friend (you know who you are) if you keep asking me to help you find something in Mafia Wars, I am going to de-friend you!

3. Ancestry.com
Okay, I would love to see if there is anyone famous in my family tree, I just wish it wasn't such a hassle.
Now, I know all the good things in life are not free, so I did not expect much from the free version, but I got nothing. I answered all the questions, but in my mom and dad's birthdate, etc.. Just a big zero.
So, I joined and paid the fee. Guess what? I still got nothing. Very time consuming and it only went as far as my grandfather ( I knew him already).
Bummer I have no famous ancestors, or do I? I may never know, but after this experience, I really don't care anymore.
4. Cartoon Network
My kids love Cartoon Network, and I myself get a kick out of Adult Swim, so I took a visit to their website. My kids wanted to try out some of their games.
The problem with most of these games, is that you have to download software to play them. This of course consumes more time, and the kids get anxious.
Five out of seven of the games needed to install some java or flash on my computer, and it is a brand new machine.
Then once you get these games going, be sure to turn down the volume when your kids play it, because they are noisy games, and extremely annoying.
5. My Bank's Website
I have had the same bank for over seven years now. I have been connecting securely to their website from the same IP address for four years. I find them quite annoying for the past few months as they keep asking me to verify my identity.
I understand security measures and all, and perhaps I should be thankful. You would think the software would remember me by now after the thousand's of times I have logged in. This is a new added security feature, I get it, but a better job could have been done.
There you go, I needed to vent. Be well everyone.
