Businesses will try pretty much everything these days. From advertising in ridiculous places to adding paywalls on anything, there are a lot of frustrating business and product designs out there. It's become difficult to use some products or services for their intended purpose without being blocked by an ad of some form or getting tricked into hitting a paywall for something you thought would be free. It shouldn't work like this, but the modern economy has somehow found a way to monetize everything and get more money from people post-purchase.

The following images share some of these such times. Somehow, these things aren't illegal, but they sure do feel uncomfortably close to violating some ethics rules. Some companies seem to go to great lengths to inconvenience users of their products, so much so that it feels deliberately malicious, like someone enjoyed plotting a way to create the most annoyance. Here are 24 images shared by internet users who have had enough.
