Phishing email I received:

Please stop with the floating elements on websites. They're hiding your content, and make me want to leave!

No, I don't want to "swipe to the next article" if there's also gonna be a giant floating arrow hiding the text and make me want to stop reading the one I'm painfully trying to read right now.

No, I don't want to "donate" if I can't even fully read what your organization is about because of all those buttons floating over your content.

The goal is to show your content! Why hiding it with a bajillion arrows, buttons, and popups? And please test your website for small mobile display. Your floating elements are ENORMOUS there 😭

And the UK gov thought: "Yes, let's hire that company to look after our defence, policing, financial and health systems"?

My house is a bit of a mess.
It reminded me very much of being at work...only usually I could get in a cup of coffee at work before I had to duck FOD from the fan.
