> I keep getting annoyed when sites demand I enter "state/province" for international shipping when my country doesn't have that concept.

And uses a select box of US states, so even if your country did have such a concept (and used it for mail, which may not be the case) you couldn't give it.



If you have a select box of US states and you ship internationally, clearly no one put any thought into the form.


You could manually set it via the "inspect element" I guess? If you realllly must set something.


Yup, I’ve done that far too often, I even have a bookmark to a small script that just replaces the next input box I click on with a freeform text input.


I used this once to submit a form without agreeing to let my personal data be "processed".
