My utility company wants me to pay my bills through a payment portal embedded in a PDF that they emailed to me. And the UX / overall vibes of it are so repulsive that I keep almost forgetting to pay.

80 character-wide teleprinter that prints a plain ascii rendering of poems.com/todays-poem/ each morning. I rip the page off when I start work, as if receiving an important message from headquarters.
