Before I clicked on the link, I said to myselff that a piece on deceptive patterns probably deals with emotionally obnoxious sorts, such as narcissistic personalities and borderline cases, who can drive one up the wall with ambiguous, perplexing and annoying communications.

D) Think Again:
E) Whenever you tell your credit card company that you have been invalidly charged, YOUR CREDIT RATING IS DOWNGRADED.
