    This happens at my employer from time to time where the default action is for something to be off. So the option is “Turn off X” with a checked checkbox next to it.

    This is negative logic and is stupid. Turning on an option should enable something. Turning it off should disable it. If the default is that it is off, then give it a positive description “Turn on X” and then default the value to off.

    I get really angry about this if you couldn’t tell.
