The internet is a marvel, eh? For one thing, we wouldn't be here, although that's a Captain Obvious Point.

1) People on Yahoo! Answers.

"Help, I'm bleeding, my mouth is dry and I think I left the oven on! Can you help me? No stupid answers please!"

Seriously, call 112/999/911/whatever emergency number. And then look in the green&blue-mixed-together coloured Pages.
Isn't it way, way, way, easier to call and describe your condition to a dispatcher than login to Y!A, then type a question?

2) Those super-annoying auto-play ads. (Luckily, I got AdBlock Plus for Firefox). I'm trying to read an article about some important-y thing, and all I can see is something about an ITV show. Who the hell watches ITV? Why is ITV even around still?

3) Those giant French-word-for-shower bags on message boards. Because using expletives, 'your mom/mum/mam', and 'gay' as derogatory term is "tough" and "clever". Seriously, actually LISTEN in English class, and maybe purchase a dictionary. But of course that's a bit too long for you to understand. Dic-ti-on-naree. And I think you should EXPLETIVE off.

I'm done.

(BTW the French word for shower is douche. And in popular culture, douche is like calling someone a male appendage)

Everything that I cannot control on the internet really does BUG ME. EVERYTHING!

I suppose that means I need my very own internet.

China has its own internet. Blocked by a Great Firewall (that's the ACTUAL name). There's like five websites allowed. ChinaGlorious.ch, Propaganda.ch, and YouAreDissent.ch. The other two are just "404 Error" and "This page won't load."
