They come out of nowhere with something you've not only never heard of, but something you don't really want.
Ex:

A LIFE SAVING

Just plain annoying.
Also, why is it that when you click certain links on certain sites, you get something that has NOTHING to do with what you are looking for?
Ex; I clicked "roman numerals chart" and got a "is it too late to start college?" application.
I don't know if that counts, but there it is.
There are even human popups in some places, like mmos.
"Hey, can u help with this?"
"hey, where do i go to..."
"can i hav sum monee!?"
"wuts the best stuffs?"
ect, ect, I hate you all.
Has anyone ever even responded to a popup with anything besides "I can't possibly click that X button fast enough"? If you have ever responded to a popup positively, please leave a comment here stating what you gained.
BOTTOM LINE: popups are like mosquitoes, they suck away your life and everyone hates them.
That's this week's rant, I'm Varmeip, Goodnight.
