Let me start by saying I am fully aware that you can disable signatures now. But I like to leave them on. Many times they are interesting or simply funny.
But sometimes, some dumb jerk puts things in his signature that actually, objectively, measurably degrades my VGChartz experience. For example, someone just made a thread with a Hitler video about Bungie and Activision. I was genuinely interested in it, but I was completely unable to watch it because one or both of the two animated gifs (or whatever) in his sig made my CPU hit the roof and the slowdown crippled my browser.
I couldn't scroll up to hide them, because it was the OP. I had to de-maximize the window, wait about two minutes for IE to respond, then scroll up, wait another minute for IE to respond, and then finally watch the video, which was at best half as enjoyable as it would have been if I'd been able to watch it without the hassle.
Why do people do this? Do they somehow not encounter this slowdown? Is my problem that unusual? Or are they just stupid? I mean, if it's their own signature I'd think it would hurt them more than anyone.
What is your pet peeve in people's signatures?
