one of my first freelancing gigs: I helped making a pop-under/over that played a video and that would resume playing the video from where it had been previously stopped at each refresh and thereby helping making internet a worse place.

Oh no... not the X10 popunders, were they?

no it wasn't as bad as that. It was mostly a stupid stuff to make sure that the user would hear/see the video entirely at some point... so instead of restarting each time the damn pop up opened, it would resume from the previous stop
