Floppy disk icon for “Save” That first "image" really had me confused for a few seconds. I thought something was wrong with my browser :-D |

Why do people clear the screen multiple times when using a calculator? I just had a look at my (real) calculator and there are 2 buttons, one that says "ON/AC" and another one that says "CE/C". I have no idea what they mean and if I want to clear the memory I'll hit both. Maybe hitting them more than once is compulsive behaviour xDDD. |

Why do people clear the screen multiple times when using a calculator? This might be true for many things but I definitely hit the cancel button on the calculator several times because in the past I got wrong results because one of the buttons doesn't clear everything and I never know which one. Some things do have a logical explanation ;-) |

Should an interface ever say “thank you”? I find long dialogs annoying no matter how polite they are. If the developer designed the app having me (the user) in mind I'm grateful for that and might return to purchase another program. My productivity (as a user) is probably my number 1 goal. As long as you don't annoy the user, being polite is definitely very good. Better than insulting him anyway :-P. |

Should an interface ever say “thank you”? True but you're interacting with a machine and just want to get your job done... Fact is most people don't read these messages and the shorter they are the likelier it is people will read them. Compare "Exit now?" to "Thank you for using our software. Are you sure you want to exit?". |

How to tell a client in a form that they can enter their email OR their tel # (but both are not necessary)? Disabling one of the fields can be a little annoying if it isn't clear why that happened. I enter my Email and then I want to enter my phone number... oh wait, wasn't this field enabled before? "Please remove your email to enter a phone number" might work. Probably it makes no sense to make it XOR instead of OR anyway. |

How to tell a client in a form that they can enter their email OR their tel # (but both are not necessary)? Maybe you could mark the telephone field in some way as well. As it is now I would be confused if I was filling out that form. |

What is the best email username to use for a myname.com domain? gmail@johnsmith.com is indeed funny and geeky but would probably cause major confusion in some people. Even if they "fix" your mistake and convert it to johnsmith@gmail.com they would still wonder if you got the e-mail or someone else did... |
