Irritating websites?

Have you ever experienced a really irritating website?


Well, a couple of weeks ago (3-4 I think) I registered on this website that you can learn japanese on. You get a limited time (14 days I think) for free before you have to pay anything, and in the beginning, right before I could sign in, a pop up came up and it said "ONE TIME ONLY OFFER!"

Ofc I read through it and it just said that if I get this premium thing NOW, I can get it for free, only paying this 1 dollar/euro. I didn't want to so I clicked away.


Next day in Jennifer's e-mail inbox... 


"You might have clicked away before reading the text. I give you another chance! Only 1 €/$!


1 week later in Jennifer's e-mail inbox...


"I'm confused, are you getting my e-mails? *same link again to that same ONE TIME ONLY website*"


2 weeks later in Jennifer's e-mail inbox...


"Only 3 days left on your free trial! Buy NOW! *same link again*"


1 day before the trial ends in Jennifer's e-mail inbox...


"I'm about to give up, but when learning japanese, persistence is the key to success! I'm going to try to convince you ONE MORE TIME."


?

Wasn't it supposed to be a "ONE TIME ONLY" offer. It even said on their webpage:
Once you click away, you can't go back! Don't make the same mistake as many others because WE CAN'T GIVE YOU THE OFFER AGAIN!

Nope, they can't. I only got it about 5-6 times during these 14 days. >.< ABSOLUTELY impossible to give the link again. I didn't even have to ask for it!
