Are you sure you want to log out?
Are you sure you want to log out? Asks the website/app.
No, I reply sarcastically, I just spent five minutes trying to locate the goddamn log out button and accidentally clicked on it for no apparent reason.
Yes, I want to log out!
There’s an arrogance and condensation implied in the ‘Log out of your account?’ (as Instagram puts it). What it’s saying is, ‘You’ve probably made a mistake, there’s no way you could have actually meant to log out of our amazing site’.
Yes I did, get me out of here!
