pet peeve

I do not like it when someone sends me instructions in VIDEO format and
only video format. When I'm at work, I don't have easy access to sound on
my computer (hello, LIBRARY) so it's a bit of a hassle to find headphones
and sit and listen to a 20 minute video on how to log into a Wiki and
manage a page. Just TELL me in writing. The video can be a supplement, but
I prefer to read instructions and work through something.

This also applies to news articles I want to read and then click to find
out it's a video only report. LAME.

Video format can be a waste of time because you can't just have a quick look and find the part you want.

Exactly! It's hard to skim for what you need. Especially with misleading headlines, there's nothing like clicking on a link, seeing it's a video and also realizing it has nothing to do with what you thought it was.
