Clicks on website for super specific information you need quickly

Attempt to scroll

Signing you in with google with an account you didn't know you had

Page restarts

Page lags for a few seconds

Manually press sign out button hidden under 3 different menus

Wait for page to reload

Somehow remember the information you were looking for from prior knowledge, so now you no longer need the website

This happens to me so fucking often, it's so infuriating, especially when I am passionately researching about some random topic or getting some info on how to do something in a game, it's painful.

Alternate ending:

Finally find the paragraph with information alluded to in the headline, at the bottom of the page

Page finally loads the remaining 3 dozen ads (1 for each line break), pushing the sentence you needed completely into the abyss

Sigh heavily and lose interest in the topic forever

Receive 3 different welcome emails, each with a different unsubscribe journey, that ultimately doesn't work
