Someone Cooked Here
Nothing says "we have no idea how our payment system works" quite like threatening users with financial ruin for using basic browser functions. The developer who built this clearly had a nervous breakdown after discovering their stateless web app couldn't handle the concept of a browser history. Instead of fixing the actual problem, they just slapped a scary red warning and called it a day. Classic case of "it's not a bug, it's a feature that requires user documentation in ALL CAPS and panic-inducing red text."

The Digital Hierarchy Of Needs: Apps Vs. Humans
The existential crisis of modern software development: creating apps so needy they develop separation anxiety. That grocery list app just committed the cardinal sin of software design—acting like it has feelings and deserves attention. Every developer who's implemented these "engagement" notifications is now sweating nervously. Remember when software just... did its job without emotional manipulation? The power dynamic here is crystal clear: one entity exists as a bunch of if-statements in a digital void, while the other pays the electricity bill. The beautiful rage of "I could replace you with a pen and receipt" hits different when you realize it's technically true. Nothing says "healthy user relationship" like threatening digital homicide against your grocery tracker.

The User Will Know How To Use It
BEHOLD! The eternal lie every developer tells themselves when skipping proper documentation! "Don't worry, it's super intuitive, the user will know how to use it" they proclaim with unfounded confidence, while the poor user (represented by that absolutely CONFUSED dog) tries to figure out how to enter a doghouse THROUGH THE ROOF instead of the gaping entrance! This is the EXACT SAME ENERGY as releasing software with zero tutorials and then wondering why users are filing 47,000 support tickets! The audacity! The delusion! The sheer hubris of thinking your UI is "intuitive" when users can't even find the login button! I'm having flashbacks to every product meeting where someone said "it's self-explanatory" and I nearly threw my laptop out the window!

Users Find A Way

Users Find A Way
No matter how intuitive you think your UI is, users will find a way to break your assumptions. You spend weeks perfecting that dropdown menu, adding tooltips, and even including a literal "Click Here" button... then some genius comes along and manages to wedge a traffic barrier through their truck window instead. The eternal struggle of UX design isn't building interfaces—it's predicting the creative ways humans will misinterpret them. If you've ever watched a user test and quietly whispered "how is this even possible?" under your breath, you've lived this nightmare firsthand.
