One of my pet annoyances was when I came across web pages that have not set a background colour. Often it was because Internet Exploder (and others) defaulted to a white background and these lazy sods don't do any proper testing on their sites. Everything is just peachy if you use IE. The web designers have designed all the graphics and layout for a white background but if you use a browser that has a different default background colour (maybe grey) the whole page looks awful. Of course they would have picked this up straight away if they tested the site with multiple browsers with different settings. But slacko web designers and engineers don't bother with this much these days and think we are all MS or Google slaves using standard settings in Chrome or IE.
