Because the grad students in our lab are all about planning ahead, we purposely overbooked hotel rooms for an upcoming conference with the intention of cancelling later on if we didn’t have enough bodies to fill the rooms. This was indeed the case, so last week I set about cancelling one of our rooms using the online hotel booking tool.
The conference in question was CHI 2007. CHI is a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) conference, so it’s all about good design and user interfaces and whatnot… or so one would think.
Given this, it was quite amusing when I was presented with the following two choices when I tried to terminate my reservation:
Did I want to “Cancel”, or “Cancel this Reservation”?
This had to be a joke… I mean… at CHI? Too good.
