You know whats funny is that I could have guessed that would have been Collis’s pet peeve. His designs are always very elegantly well spaced and open.

But I have to agree most with erikreagan’s pet peeve. I scream on the inside when a client says something should be quick and easy. If it was quick and easy they wouldn’t be hiring me to do it for them now would they?

Websites that only work properly in IE. Still see far too much of this around, particularly in the corporate world.

Since Coda 1.6 has just recently been released, I would like to retract my pet peeve and bitch about IE6 instead.

Contextualizing an app built from another culture to work with people in my culture.

I have high hopes that IE 6 users will one day advance to IE 7 users. I am tired of hacks for things to work in IE6 that work without them in most of the more modern browsers.

Bad usability in general (programmers without interface design skills, or not hiring somebody with them), but more specifically tooltips that get in the way.

i.e. Like marriott.com, you mouseover a hotel in the results list to get more info on it (like address) and the tool tip is so large it covers up two entries below it, so I have wrap my mouse around the tool tip and then enter the next item from the side!

Or people who have been developing on the web for 15 years and still can’t make a web app work outside of IE.

Yep, IE. I have hope for IE 8, but man. C’mon. I wonder what they spend all of their money on.

I have three – a lack of care for design, when links to new sites don’t automatically open in a new tab or window (yes yes, I realize most people hate this function when it does work), and, as Jeff Croft has said, a lack of innovation.

Mostly the first one; I’ve run into one or two designers who simply, well.. Hated design. I didn’t understand it – why are you in this field if you hate it? It simply irritated me that they would receive projects and I did not.
