Messaging that makes you go, wha..?!
A wee while ago I banged on about my British Gas online experience. Well, here are a few more bits of goodness that have made me stop and think while on my journey through the interwebs.
Home Office
This is a nice little gem. Not often you get asked to enter a date in DD-MMM-YYYY format - in a text field even.
MM would have surely sufficed, and been one less character to enter. Bureaucracy in all its glory.
National Express
This is up there as one of the most useless error message ever.
Trying to book a bus to Glastonbury. I got this message a few times as I was selecting the times I wanted. Would have been nice to indicate whether it was the outbound bus, returning bus, or both that was full at the times I requested. Ended up calling as it was quicker than working out all the possible outbound / return combinations.
Fogbugz
Quite like how Fogbugz displays the set-up process as 'your end' and 'our end'.
Only minor beef is that 'email address confirmed' is red, to me, indicative of an error, even though the messaging and big tick say that all is good.
