I was trying to sign up for an Apple account to use Apple music, and I kept running into errors on Linux. I ended up using a windows computer and got through the initial process successfully. BUT THEN to log in on desktop, it turns out signing up for an Apple account through Apple music requires less information than signing up through the accounts page, so I had to go back to fill out more information.

After a while of that, I got stuck at an instructional page where the button to continue had no JavaScript attatched to it. It seems to be an issue that’s been present for years on windows devices, and Apple has seemingly done nothing to fix it.

I ended up just borrowing my Dad’s account.

So many:

• Unsubscribe links that are magically broken.
• Newsletter popups when you’re trying to view content.
• Websites that are paywalled coming up in search engines.
• Broken shopping cart payment systems.
• The fact that it’s an assault on your senses to browse without an adblocker.
• “Sign in to view content” for articles, posts, etc.
• Banking sites that time out after a minute.
• likewise, shopping cart sessions that expire before you’re done shopping.
• AI generated articles that don’t even sound like they’re referring to the right topic.
• Recipe websites that have a 15 page story for each recipe without a way to skip to the actual recipe.
• “Endless scrolling” that prevents you from accessing links at the bottom of the page.
• Business websites that don’t list an address.
• “Password must be short enough to guess.”
• "How did we do? " emails.
• Automatic newsletter sign-up.
• Desktop websites that act as if you’re on a phone (i.e swipe through grocery filters instead of scrolling through them).
• Unreadable, archaic, and/or low-contrast fonts.
• “This content is not available in your country.”

I could list dozens more. 😮‍💨

Any website that insists on emailing you a login link rather than just using a password. Then they treat it like a positive and say “no more passwords!” Fuck you.

Korean websites. I won’t even list all the frustrations here, omg there’s so many. It’s like a shitty 90s yahoo webpage with so much gatekeeping, engagement bait, arbitrary moderation, minimal community engagement, no customization or curation, impossible authentication demands, so on and so on.

and it’s like the fucking standard, everywhere! in a country with maybe the best internet in the world!

oh yea and it doesn’t work except with IE!! forced edge use! its like a Ferrari in wooden wheels. fuuuck i hate korean webdesign culture

Not a website, but a 30+MB app that could easily have been replaced with a <10k website…

To pay for your parking, you have to enter the parking lot number, your cars’ tags, and CC data. So far, so good.

But they also require an email address and a phone number. They want to confirm that email address, and they check whether the number is a valid UK telephone number. And no, you simply cannot enter an international prefix. Which meant that I as a tourist could not pay for the parking lot at the hotel.

Trying to recover a password on Spotify - “We have no record of that email address.”

So I try to create a new account with that email - “This email address already exists in our system.”

Tech support web site that had incomplete or inaccurate information

A webshop, where I wanted to buy tools. Choose things, put into cart, then go to check-out. The “check-out” was a page that they wanted you to print out and fax to them. Nope, nope, nope. :-)

So apart from the websites that are purely based around being obnoxious so you’ll subscribe to their premium plan I’d say GitHub has been the least intuitive place to navigate for me.

Just this past Friday I had a pile of boxes I had to scan barcodes on. Two barcodes per box.

The issue was the form did nothing when you pressed enter, and required tab to get from the first field to the second (a 2nd tab would start a new row, so it was at least equipped for multiple entries).

Most barcode scanners, if you’re unfamiliar, insert a linefeed character (ASCII 0x0A) after each successful scan.

It took me an unbearably long time to read through the 250 page user guide / programming manual for our barcode scanner to figure out how to change this to tab (0x09). It required no fewer than SIX barcodes to be scanned; enter programming mode / modify suffix / 0 / 9 / validate / save, which were spread across three pages of the manual (fortunately it had links, because also >100 pages apart).

It was worth it in the end, but it would have taken 5 minutes for them to code it to allow enter to switch between fields. This workflow is the only thing this site does, it’s unreasonable to expect people wouldn’t be using a barcode scanner.
