Things that make me crazy. Part I.

Web forms.

  • When the ‘choose birth year’ defaults to the current year, or to 1912. At least make it in the ballpark of legal, and still living, adults.
  • When you click the ‘country’ drop down, and United States is buried in the U’s.
  • When you click the ‘country’ drop down, and United States is at the top of an otherwise alphabetical list.
    • Yes, both ways make me crazy.
  • When the form requests a ZIP code and then the City and State. That’s why ZIP codes exist! Cross-reference!
    • That four other municipalities use my ZIP code. If you have your own school, you should have your own ZIP.
  • That Google doesn’t use ReCaptcha.
  • When the state abbreviations are listed alphabetically as though the whole state was spelled out, so Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts are listed in that order (ME/MD/MA) instead of alpha by the abbreviation (MA,MD,ME.)
