A Tale of User Interface Failures

[ShameOnUI @ShameOnUI]

I wonder how long it will take for companies to realize that running infrastructure on @Windows is almost always the wrong answer. @ElectrifyAm

[The Kilowatts 🚗⚡️ @klwtts]

@adamhoov @ElectrifyAm @Tesla Guilty 😅
I wonder @ElectrifyAm has a bug bounty program 🏴‍☠️

The "Click here" anti-pattern still runs rampant. How about some descriptive links, @MyGlendale?

[ShameOnUI @ShameOnUI]

What's really being asked here?

"Question marks are fine, but exclamation points go too far. And circumflexes. We're not savages." - @USAGov

[ShameOnUI @ShameOnUI]

Oh sure - the advertised price has magically changed in the last 5 minutes since you first showed it to me 🤨. Dirty tactics, @Expedia...

[ShameOnUI @ShameOnUI]

"I'm sorry, I couldn't sign your contract because I was stuck in a refresh loop" @FormstackSign

[ShameOnUI @ShameOnUI]

Oh really, @microsoft? How about you shut the fuck up and mind your own business?

[ShameOnUI @ShameOnUI]

Another total anti-pattern: preventing users from pasting text in password fields. @Assurant, you are making it hard for users to use strong passwords and password managers, which makes your site less secure.

I'm glad I can update my cart when it's clearly empty. Super useful, @_Mr_Yum_

PSA: If you send your users tickets to do some real world thing, make retrieving that ticket or QR code the primary and most discoverable thing. Everything else is secondary @SNCFConnect

[Nïck Brown🌻 @sTeamTraen]

Today in #UXfail: @SNCFConnect. This e-mail is not your ticket, despite saying "Mon e-billet". Nor does the big "Go to my order" button button get you to the ticket download. Nor is the PDF attached. You have to go to "My trip" (green outline). 🤦‍♂️

[ShameOnUI @ShameOnUI]

Can I just click on the map please? I don't like playing the numbers game @WaltDisneyCo

[ShameOnUI @ShameOnUI]

What is this garbage @LGUK

[Ninji (has moved) @_Ninji]

The TVs in this hotel are heavily locked down LG units running an awful custom interface

I love the Channel Guide, which randomly fails to render text, and which makes a rookie UI code mistake — if you press Up while the topmost item is highlighted, it scrolls up 10 instead of 1

[ShameOnUI @ShameOnUI]

I love how ridiculously stupid this is. Sure, I'll go and "ask the owner" to "fix" their QR code. It's your goddamn app that generates the QR code!

Seems to happen pretty often that "smart" things really aren't that smart at all 🤦 @Samsung @smartthings

[ShameOnUI @ShameOnUI]

Note: if you make a loading bar, make the end of the loading bar *actually* correspond to the end of the waiting period. Rocket science, I know, @Microsoft

[Snacknam @satnam99]

How can it been 2022 and we are still getting loading bars that move onto yet more loading bars. I'm pretty sure this is the 3rd I've had in this update

Time to shame @hbomax's garbage experience again:
1️⃣ Why do you need to reselect "who's watching" when you refresh the page?
2️⃣ Why does the session time out after a few hours?
3️⃣ What's with the stupid "urn" URL format?
The number of UI/UX fails remains TOO. DAMN. HIGH.

[ShameOnUI @ShameOnUI]

Since when do I need to log in just to view some random tweets? Where is the option to tell you to "fuck off", @Twitter?

[ShameOnUI @ShameOnUI]

"The margins on food are too low—just make the Lunch menu all drinks. This will get the kids in the door." - @WaltDisneyWorld, probably

[ShameOnUI @ShameOnUI]

Don't tell me what I need to tell you to do if you know what I'm telling you to do @Windows

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

Less windows please, @MelbSkydeck
