One of the interfaces I use at work requires regular reauthentication (sidenote: I’d like to thank autocorrect for “correcting” that to “resurgence ovulation”). At sign in, it pops up a usage agreement, which is tedious but NBD.
What annoys me is that (in the UI it offers, obviously one could circumvent this) you have two and only two options: “OK” or “Got it.” No "I don’t accept or “log me out.” I’d even prefer just “OK” over that - it feels like it’s trying, poorly, to railroad me.
I’d bet the default dialog box in the toolkit being used has two buttons, and the programmers don’t know how to make a dialog box with one button, so it’s just two “I accept”

A defense of dubious rationality doesn’t make it less annoying, sadly.
