I'm disgusted with some people's reaction to alert messages. They have a close reflex, they don't even know what they closed. Sometimes I'm trying to help someone and a message appears, while I'm trying to focus my sight they have already closed the message.

Yes, they close the message and then they call support. And then they get furious if nobody can help them without seeing the error message.
