When you click a link to view a video, do you immediately shut the window if an ad pops up? I really have gotten a hair-trigger when it comes to pop-ups, ads that obscure text, and pre-video ads.

Video or not I immediately and instinctively close any pop-up that comes when I click anything, sometimes in Windows or a game. Sometimes that's not good at all...

Adblock Plus takes care of most of the web pages pop-ups though. That includes Youtube adds, so I never see them in order to close anything.

When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".

Yep, if I get automatic sounds that window is getting blown away.

For Windows messages it's pretty much SOP to click OK no matter what pops up biggrin
