1. In Outlook, enable your out-of-office message, set it to start right now.
  2. Click Save.
  3. Immediately see a pop-up asking if you want to turn that off.

WTF Microsoft? Who would ever do that?

I suppose someone might have turned it on for the wrong dates, but 99.99% of the time this is just annoying.

    … you haven’t met people… have you?

    do I agree that MS is infuriating because it knows that stupid people exist and they just assume you’re one of them? absolutely. but there are people that do that.

    There’s probably a better way to present the popup/query, mind, more like confirming things are accurate than “ARE YOU SURE?!”

      I agree with you but I would say it should not be a pop up at all. It should be a status message in the toolbar.
