About a year ago, I moved into a larger house and my rent went up by a factor of nearly double... am easily able to make my rent payment...HOWEVER, I do not want to pay...Please. Please. Help a financially successful young man avoid the needless loss of literally his own money.
So far...
$279 of $11k
The donation comments seem to indicate people are rewarding his cheekiness:
DOOKIE LEVEL $5 Doug Rentz 1 hour ago No man should be forced to pay his own housing expense. I absolutely refuse to help my wife with the house payment, as I don't wish to damage her self esteem, as a matter of fact if she's really feeling low I'll ask her for gas money and back door sex!
But you really want to go for the WINNER LEVEL:
WINNER LEVEL $11,000 I will make love to you( this level has been censored from it's purest version) I will come to your house, lay you down and make love to you. Or your spouse.

Yeah, who gets to decide? Also, what happens if it's a gay couple of the sex he[1] doesn't like having sex with?

He claims to be filming a movie (I lied[1] about not checking) so he probably is, but I prefer to think he's not because it's funnier that way.

You just gave him $11,000, who cares if you don't fit his sexual tastes.

I'd have to have a lot better reason than "hello, suckers, give me money!" to give someone $10,000, so it isn't me that gave me that money.

A lot of people jumping rhythmically on what looks like a removable stage extension. What could possibly go wrong?

After learning today that our problem is caused--our bug invoked--by the user selecting the "cancel" option and then clicking "approve", well...
...let's say my opinion of users has momentarily suffered.

Jack Barsky: There's three things I tell people that the Russians were afraid of. AIDS, Jewish people and Ronald Reagan. And they were deathly...
Steve Kroft: In that order?
Jack Barsky: I think Ronald Reagan took the top spot. They thought he would push the button.
Wow...crazy story...East German KGB agent decides he wants to keep living in America and not be a spy, so tells the Russians he has AIDS, lives with his new family in the US, reunites with his son back in Germany decades later.

Why?
Why are they even able to approve after canceling?
Your software's bad and you should feel bad.
-
Just because software not forcibly stopping users from doing something idiotic is bad, doesn't make the thing any less idiotic.
-
Why are they even able to approve after canceling?
Your software's bad and you should feel bad.
It's called a bug. The cancel is more rarely used and so it is selected from a combo box, after which you press enter. The very commonly used approval is done by an Approve Document button.
So what happened is that the user selected "Cancel" from the combo box and then clicked Approve Document to apply the change, which is a . Why would you do that
...and because there was a bug in the program, the program didn't reject that combination as an error, which it should have (as in, " Why are you asking me to cancel and approve the document at the same time?"). Instead, it broke the related data.
So, yes, our software was a . But then, so is the user. And since the message I replied to was about users...

I wouldn't be so quick to call your users the here. Aside from being buggy, your interface is terribly designed. It's broken on several levels. It's not just that your interface should check that the user didn't input wrong combinations. Your interface shouldn't let your users input wrong combinations.
Letting your users press enter to close a dialog is good, but it should be a short-cut. The thing about short-cuts is that they're an alternate path, which means there should be a visible path. So your combo box should have an "apply" button or whatever. Then pressing enter would press "apply". There are people that hate using shortcuts for anything and want to move the mouse and click on things, and if your interface doesn't cater to them your interface is bad.
Which explains why your user selected Cancel and then pressed Approve Document. If they're used to Approving documents, which you call the more common path, then they're used to leaving that dialog by clicking on something. Is it any surprise that when they wanted to cancel, they looked for a button to click? They probably realized that pressing "approve document" was counter-intuitive, but they probably chalked that up to a shitty interface. Which they were right to do, they were just wrong in what way it was shitty.
-
No.
-
Which explains why your user selected Cancel
Is it just me or should cancel always be an immediately visible easy-to-find-button that should be available whenever possible?
-
Depends on how you mean. As a "Get me out of here without touching anything" button, yes. Definitely.
If however Cancel stands in for an actual action (imagine a system where you might 'cancel' a reservation that's already been placed), it's fine to group it with the other actions. Of course, there then should be a Cancel button to get out of there without touching anything.

So this just popped up on Planet Rock:

I don't deny, and never did, that the software isn't a
The thing is that this application started out as 3270 technology, similar to this...
As originally designed, when you wanted to change the status of the document, there was two strategies;
- To approve the document, enter your password in the "Approved By:" field and press enter
- To switch the document to any other status, enter the new status in the status field and press enter. This status field was similar to the right "application codes" field in the image above.
That was the technology until 1997 or so. Since that time, we've come up with progressively deeper layers of GUI overlay that provides niceties like drop-down lists (combo boxes), check boxes, active buttons and such. But to do an even halfway decent job of upgrading is intrusive to the underlying program logic as well as just overlaying GUI...because under the paint, this steenking app is still 3270.
So you're right, the design is bad...but that's because it grew that way. It was like Topsy, who was never born but just grew. And, worse, this particular app is one of "those" applications that doesn't fit the established architecture well and as a result is fragile and a maintenance nightmare. This bug I described...I spent 4 hours yesterday just figuring out how it could even happen.
So someone...at some point...did an incomplete job of upgrading the app. Approval was changed to a button and, once approved, un-approving is the same button with a different label. But the stupid status field survived and still is used to cancel the document when the user arrives at the conclusion they need to do that (literally, only "cancel" is still relevant of the theoretical four status codes you could choose). So in that area there are three things you can do: Approve, un-approve, and cancel. And cancel is comparatively rare, because it means you want to destroy the document and start over and there really is no longer a reason to do that.
Nevertheless, the user still actively (1) clicked on the combo box; (2) selected "cancel"; and (3) then clicked a button that says, explicitly, Approve Document. Which is kind of a wtf, even if a small one, no matter how bad the design is.
Understand that I am not defending the app. It is wrong, no matter which way you look at it. It's current design is bad, and probably should be revised. (But it isn't going to be, because we're in the middle of an ERP.) It is also wrong, because it responded to an inconsistent user action with a randomly chosen
But I started this because of a comment someone made about a user-driven ...and I'd just seen one, so I thought I would amuse a few people with my user's wtf. Never intended it to turn in to a full-scale discussion of the application , but here it is.

Maybe. I'll wait and see.

So you're right, the design is bad...but that's because it grew that way.
It doesn't matter why it's bad if it's bad.
