This is an old one, but I've been getting my ass so kicked by mobile sites lately, I needed to share my pain.

Oh, I thought you were talking about a new career move.

Would you bring me some ketchup for my fries? Thanks.

It's how it goes if the site is broken. Most sites aren't broken, but if you need one that is, it really sucks.

I'd say 90% of the time it happens for something I wasn't that interested in anyways. Right now I happen to be in a 10% stretch.

To my knowledge I've never experienced that problem. Mobile sites are annoying when they subtract needed content that the designers apparently think to be too advanced for phone users, but I don't think I've seen a server malfunction like that.

It usually happens for me on some BS entertainment site that's on the Google News front page.

Recently though, it's been a sales site. Not only will it lose stuff on an incoming link from Google, it commits the worst sin, which is losing an incoming link from its own site.
