A dialog box for an appointment that has already been established shows up. It has an "X" button which clearly is to dismiss the dialog, and it has a "Dismiss" button.

I want to cancel the appointment, not just dismiss the dialog box. It looks like I cannot cancel the appointment. There's no button clearly labelled "Cancel this appointment."

:headache:

Except that today I discover that the "Dismiss" button is meant to cancel *the appointment*.

:why:

Okay, so same user interface, I have a pupil who has gone MIA. I want to delete the entire series of appointments with her.

Click on one appointment and I get the X, "Cancel" and "Edit." Mind you, this is a bit better than "Dismiss" because now it says "Cancel." However, does it cancel the dialog, or the appointment.

It turns out that it cancels the appointment, not the dialog box.

:why:

Shitty UX design.... 😩 Who the hell designed this thing?

So I decided to click a link that sent me to the page below.

I start reading and a stupid dialog box pop into my face asking that I give them an email address if I want to continue to read.

Okay, ask your stupid question and you shall receive a stupid answer.

How does fuck@you.com sound to you?

Thus continues my custom of filling dialog boxes I did not consent to with garbage!

"We don't have a paywall. We just like to shove dialog boxes in your face. :derpface:"

Hi everyone,

If you have designed a dialog box with 'Cancel' and 'OK' buttons, please make sure they appear in that order.

Not 'OK' then 'Cancel'

Check your application now, please.

Three times we have clicked 'cancel' on a #dialogBox, rather than 'OK' and this mistake is made purely based on positioning.

Thanks for reading.
