Pay me big-money and I'll come up with a list of things about your website that make it SUCK.

    Amazon;

    Only displays a partial version of shipment tracking info for reseller purchases and NOT the most important info to buyers;

    For instance, you buy something from a reseller and Amazon will have the tracking number on their website for you to click, but it brings up only partial info on an AMAZON webpage - usually it just says something that is meaningless to the buyer such as "Package Arrived at a Carrier Facility at _____ city". No one really gives a fuck what particular facility the package is in, they want to know WHEN IT IS GOING TO ARRIVE. So you have to highlight the tracking number and paste it into the Fedex, UPS, USPS, etc website to get actual useful information such as Anticipated Arrival Date AKA THE ONE THING THAT PEOPLE WANTED TO KNOW WHEN THEY CLICKED FOR TRACKING INFO

    Multiple products on one listing page
    If any of the products have ANY popularity, this is absolutely guaranteed to become a CLUSTERFUCK. Someone is going to leave a review for version X of the product and say its a total piece of dogshit ( but neglect to mention they selected version____. And then no one will buy version Y, or vise versa because most people are just going to assume the reviews apply to which ever option they are looking at buying. Somehow the biggest ecommerce website hasn't figured out a way to make reviews of a specific iteration of a product be attached to that item. FUCKING AMATEUR HOUR!

    vBulletin ( actually this is probably every website but this is where I always notice it)

    You do a forum search and find a specific post in your results which you click to view. What happens on pages that have a lot of images on them is the page loads over several seconds with this bombardment of images, constantly growing the scroll bar as you try to view the post you just clicked. And it FUCKS YOU UP and struggles to hold you focused on the post you clicked and instead bounces you around the page while it fills in. Why can't a website make note of the dimensions of images or other media on the page, and draw a template with that in mind from the get-go so it is already laid out at the correct dimensions and not FIGHTING THE USER as it fills in the images?

    It seems to grab some kind of stranglehold on your browser - if it gets kind of laggy and you click the browser's Refresh button it typically just spins and does absolutely fucking nothing because apparently the app knows best and doesn't feel like letting you refresh the page right now. So you end up having to close the tab and renavigate to the site in a new one unless you feel like staring at a frozen page being a fuckpile for 30 seconds till it finally decides you are worthy of reloading the page.
