I was on-site for users learning our new program. Watched them do something, a dialog came up, and faster then i could catch what it was, they closed it. Dialogs are warnings or confirmations you know, and they did not know what it was...

So yeah, sometimes I do think there should be a wait time on the OK button.

    It probably makes sense if the program they came from is a badcase, but at least ours don't go over board. It's always a "you are probably doing something wrong, but we will allow it if you want to" or a "please confirm you want to do this thing that may have huge consequences". With what they were learning, they were not touching anything related to the latter. So they probably were doing something wrong.

    My wife does this and then asks me to fix whatever is broken. I'd be able to help if I was able to read the error!
