Gifs annoy me after they've looped about 4 times.
As a general rule of thumb:
1st time around - I dont get it.
2nd time - I still dont get it.
3rd time - Ah, i think i get it now.
4th time - Hee hee, now i understand....i think.
5th time - Im bored of this gif now!
6th time - Aaaarrrgghh, just stop! But i cant take my eyes off it!
Then a wise man messaged me and said "just Esc them".
After months of typing E, s and then c, on my keyboard, it didnt work at all, so i just had to force myself to stop getting mesmerized by the never ending loop i was gazing at.
Now ive just found a bloody button on my keyboard that does the trick in one press!
