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.

A big YEP. I hate that videos seem to be the in-thing now. Just give me the quick version in writing! Don't make me sit there listening to your mumbled voice while you play awful music in the background.

LOL! For sure. Especially with the videos made by local training groups that are pretty much just screen captures, so no fancy editing and you get to stumble through anything they stumble on or wait for the page to load...I have other things to do!
