"Loading..." gifs that are a WTF
-
I'll kick it off with this one, courtesy of my.studylink.govt.nz:
WTF 1: Rotates anticlockwise
WTF 2: Only 3 frames in the animation, "jumping" one quarter of a revolution. Incredibly disconcerting.
WTF 3: The (secure) page it is used on doesnt use ajax etc to load the resulting page when done, instead it refreshes every 5 seconds or so, I guess until one time when the server decides "yes, your page is ready!"

Webcode like it' 1999!
ta-taaaaaaaaa— taa daa da.

On the plus side, that does mean that it works without having to enable javascript!WTF 3: The (secure) page it is used on doesnt use ajax etc to load the resulting page when done, instead it refreshes every 5 seconds or so, I guess until one time when the server decides "yes, your page is ready!"

It could be rotating clockwise, but with bigger jumps ;)

Um, duh. It rotates anti-clockwire because you're in the southern hemisphere.

yeah the gif rotates clockwise fine for those of us in the northern hemisphere. The missing frame is because of your ethnicity and the famous 3/4 compromise of the W3C. If you were white, you'd see all 4 frames.
