An annoying error message that seems to pop up on my phone's web browser, for no apparent reason other than to piss me off, that prevents me from going to the link I'm clicking on... Even if I was just there!

I go to Urbandictionary.com on my phone almost everyday, but I can't today cause it's a bad gateway...
I can't refresh the page I'm on, or go back to the previous page cause, for some reason, their bad gateways now...
I left the Facebook Homepage to check my notifications, and now the Homepage link is a bad gateway...
