I get unreasonably irritated by the pop-up chats when online shopping. They obscure the screen in the worst positions to get your attention, and pop up within 5 seconds of landing on the site. No, I do not want to chat to ‘Hailey’. I just got here, put away your chat bot and let me browse please. And then it whines when trying to close the chat window, are you sure you want to close chat? Look mate, if I wanted to be harassed by aggressive sales staff I can do that in person, I don’t need the service extended to online shopping.
Or worse - frequent popups of ‘SomeBozo in Buttsville bought such-and-such!’
Cool. Even if the popups don’t fully block what I’m looking at the flickering appearances of those messages is still breaking my concentration and causing visual stress

Yes! I online shop to avoid people, especially forced up sell litanies at the register.
