Fortunately, with Adblock Plus and FlashBlock, it's fairly rare.
The most common culprit lately has been YouTube with HTML5 supported videos and autoplay, which I fucking despise. My immediate reaction is to close tabs.
My MO with browsing generally is to queue material up for review later. Crap that demands my attention usually gets it by way of a fist.
Any other domain which commits the same or similar crimes either gets the offending page element removed via Stylebot, or AdBlock's element blocker, or with an /etc/hosts file 0.0.0.0 entry. Life's too fucking short for that shit.
