Things I Hate, #2
“Your download will begin shortly. If it doesn’t, please click here to start it now!”
Why? Why do I have to click anything? I’m a busy man, I don’t want to wait 10 seconds from when the page loads to download your stupid file. Why can’t you just give me it NOW? Are you afraid I’ll forget what I was doing? “Jings, I clicked on the download link and Firefox asked me to save something! I wasn’t expecting that! What’s going on!”
Just give me the file before I stab you in the face, and we’ll all be happy.
