Cute messages are ok sometimes, they’re easy to make aggravating though.
Like on Smugmug, which is generally a great product, when you try to delete a photo it has a message like “Do you really want to say good bye to … .jpg”
Imagine if that was a photo of your dead grandma or worse
That's not what I meant, but I knew a guy whose brother couldn't attend their grandma's open casket funeral due to being overseas and took photos there to show him.
For example, if you took a photo of her while she was alive and still want to keep it in an offline backup, but don't want it in your face every time you open up the website.
Please no. For me it's fun once, then it starts to get annoying and feels iditoic. I've grown to like my error messages as clear and unambiguous as possible (What is 'damn' going to do? Is it 'ok'? Is it 'cancel'? Is it 'reboot'?). Luckily that one is not a real application. 'guru meditation error' is though. Haha, such fun :]
I wish today's apps made interactions little more fun like this.
