God, yes. Yes, yes, and yes. Especially to the "X" that doesn't close the box -- I HATE that shit!

As people who spend as much time online as we do, I think this pet peeve deserves to be bumped up several thousand spots on the list.
For me, #9141 is the overspraying of produce at the grocery store.

Pop-under ads finally seem to have died a long-deserved death from the public aggravation they caused, but their successor, the ad that floats over the text you're trying to read, has lately taken on an equally irritating behavior: Activating the ad when you click the "X" or "close" link. It's there to close the ad, you fuckers. I can't tell whether it's more annoying when clicking to "close" the ad opens that ad in the same window or launches a pop-up all by itself, but it's sure as hell not making me any more interested in the product being peddled.
