Am I the only one who hates automatic drop-down navigation menus? You know, the kind where as soon as your mouse moves across the top bar of the web site, a bunch of links appear below it? I hate them because nine times out of ten, I’m not interested in navigating anywhere, I’m just moving my mouse from the browser’s address bar down to something on the page. But as soon as my cursor moves past the navigation bar, a bunch of crap shows up and blocks my view of the actual content of the page, which is what I actually want to look at. I actually prefer if I have to click on a menu to make it drop down. I’m not such an invalid that I can’t click my mouse button.

drop down sucks
More fun things about some of them are very sensitive so if you're actually trying to use them, if you don't move the pointer exactly right the menu disappears and you have to start over. I also like the ones that drop down behind the big ad or whatever graphic directly below them, so you can't use the menu anyway.
i think you can throw flash based websites into the mix too
Hi. I stumbled upon randomness.com randomly and now I’m here. I hate drop down menus too. I always click on a link I don’t want to on accident.
