Carrie12345 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 There’s a sponsored FB ad that comes up for me *constantly* that drives me nuts every time. I just can’t train my brain to ignore it. It’s for some health/fitness type person, and the first line is “I used to pee my pants unintentionally while working out.” No matter how hard I try, my reflexive reaction Every Single Time is “As opposed to peeing your pants INTENTIONALLY???” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjzimmer1 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I couldn't stand the Facebook ads anymore so I installed FB Purity. So much better. What annoys me most isn't exactly just ads but any page that has auto play video/sound. Drives me nuts. I just leave my sound muted because I got so tired of all the pages that tried to assault my hearing with their noise. I have enough noise in my house with the kids, I don't need my computer randomly blaring things at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pen Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 A purple pop up on Wtm (right now!) that says “feedback “ in white with a facy thing below . Not exactly an ad but very annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It annoyed me, too, but I was able to turn it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just FB that is the problem, it's news sites, blog pages, etc. Everyone seems to think they need video and/or music and I don't like either. I just want to read quietly in peace.

It's also annoying when I have to wait for a video I don't want to see load before I can read the article. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
