I think people forget that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026726 Mon, 13 May 2019 03:57:53 +0000 bj1111 2026726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>boo for sites that do this.&nbsp; they are terrible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026652 Sun, 12 May 2019 21:08:31 +0000 Gigi 2026652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. This drives me nuts. Especially the ones that&nbsp;<b>JenniNZ&nbsp;</b>mentioned, where you have to say, "No, I don't want X" in order to get out of the pop-up window. Thank goodness I usually browse on a desktop. On my tiny phone, it would be a nightmare.</p> <p>Sometimes there are so many pop-ups that you don't even want to browse the site by the time you're allowed in. Irritating. I hate the feedback pop-ups too. How are you supposed to leave feedback if you haven't even had a chance to use the site yet?</p> <p>And yes, I hate Everlane's site. I haven't bought anything there, and I don't plan to. Aren't they the ones who bring up a pop-up when you're leaving the site, asking you if you're sure you wanted to leave? That is the height of hubris, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026441 Sat, 11 May 2019 22:28:41 +0000 Anonymous 2026441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feedback, fun :)<br /> Once, when I was doing employment services, I helped a client with a very long online application-I think Panera.<br /> They requested feedback...<br /> My response:<br /> "Your application had too many redundant questions. Please streamline in future. Thank you!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026438 Sat, 11 May 2019 21:54:40 +0000 Brooklyn 2026438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SF, same here on Everlane. I never look at them for that reason.</p> <p>And I hate the sites that ask you to give feedback when you’ve only been there for 10 seconds. “Help us improve”. It’s ironic really. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026430 Sat, 11 May 2019 21:37:27 +0000 Style Fan 2026430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate that.&nbsp; Angie is right.&nbsp; Everlane is the worst.&nbsp; I can't even look without logging in.&nbsp; Forget it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026204 Fri, 10 May 2019 15:02:25 +0000 Lucy 2026204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So annoying! The pop-ups that ask you put in your e-mail to get a discount, I simply click no, but if a website makes me give them my e-mail in order to even look at their products (grrrrrr!), I will almost always just leave it. If it's something I really want to see, I'll just enter a fake e-mail address.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026197 Fri, 10 May 2019 14:28:34 +0000 Angie 2026197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. Any pop-up. Not just discounts. Everlane is the worst offender.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026182 Fri, 10 May 2019 14:03:13 +0000 anchie 2026182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have created another email account just for that purpose. And I never check it LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026181 Fri, 10 May 2019 13:59:43 +0000 Bijou 2026181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i could not agree more. Happy to not be a fabulous person, I never give them my email address. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026136 Fri, 10 May 2019 09:23:25 +0000 Liesbeth 2026136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dislike it too... still often I succumb to the offer so now I’m swamped with e-mails. Should do another unsubscription round. Ironically I hardly ever actually purchase something with said introduction discount. I change my mind after a bit.<br /> Data are the new gold they say, so this trend is not likely going anywhere soon. Still, I think shops will need to change their strategy in the end if so many customers are getting annoyed at being so constantly targeted and followed aroun (cookies) online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026134 Fri, 10 May 2019 09:08:35 +0000 Mainelady 2026134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also find them annoying. Give me an old fashioned promo code or surprise me at check out, please. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026126 Fri, 10 May 2019 06:56:47 +0000 lyn67 2026126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And, will come more and more of these:-(...It's the good and the worst in all technological progress, I guess...:-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026105 Fri, 10 May 2019 03:39:33 +0000 rachylou 2026105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate that! And no, it’s not just mobile sites. It’s all of them! And not just shopping sites either! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026088 Fri, 10 May 2019 01:54:33 +0000 Anonymous 2026088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually I prefer to be surprised that something is on sale. It's fun to bring something to the register and find out it cost less than expected! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026037 Thu, 09 May 2019 20:40:10 +0000 StyleDetective 2026037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so agree with you. Discount offers, pop ups of a model walking down a catwalk, pop ups of web chat assistants asking me if I need any help., cookie pop ups, pop ups being asked to consent to push notifications in my browser... ugh. One reason I used to prefer online shopping is that I felt less hassled than in store, but it's not always the way these days. Some sites are still ok though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026032 Thu, 09 May 2019 20:18:58 +0000 Jenni NZ 2026032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Suntiger that it’s best to say you don’t want the discount. You can look in peace and if you do want to buy, if you exit the website then re-enter they offer the discount again. But very often I’m “just looking”, as they say, so please leave me alone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026026 Thu, 09 May 2019 20:13:29 +0000 Sal 2026026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too!! And the endless accept cookies!! And the endless surveys for grocery store interactions or website purchases. So inane.</p> <p>I want to look too- too many barriers put me off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026021 Thu, 09 May 2019 19:53:15 +0000 Jenni NZ 2026021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree. It happens on my desktop too. It makes me angry with them. The worst are the ones that you can only close by saying “No thanks,I’m not interested in 10 % discount” or “No thanks I don’t want to be a fabulous person”. Get off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2026002 Thu, 09 May 2019 18:42:24 +0000 Anonymous 2026002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Except Trader Joes- no games with them But yep, that's one of the reasons I hate grocery shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2025999 Thu, 09 May 2019 18:35:46 +0000 Anonymous 2025999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree. Even the grocery store wants too much information for an ap for sale prices. This sort of hassle makes using the internet a pain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-pet-peeve#post-2025996 Thu, 09 May 2019 18:32:32 +0000 Anonymous 2025996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure if this is because I do most of my internet browsing on my phone, but online pop ups are driving me crazy.</p> <p>I'll click on a find, and the site will immediately want my email for a discount And you can't, at least on the phone, close that window out without putting your email or saying you don't want the discount.</p> <p>I don't care what the discount is- I just want to see what's available. If it's on sale, great-but a sale isn't going to make me buy if I wouldn't anyway.<br /> Rrr!<br /> Of course in store they're always trying to foist their credit cards </p>
