    I remember the add that made me install my first add blocker. It stated playing the sound of knocking on glass and a voice going “Hey You!”. With a looped videoof some guy waving at me.

    Every so often one gets through my blocker and they have only gotten more annoying.

      I have a similar story. People were fine with ads until they got too obnoxious and intrusive, and now the people making the obnoxious intrusive ads are crying that people are blocking them.
