In today's article I wrote about my experience of the misjudged emails I received from AirBnB earlier this year, and the impact that had.

This experience reaffirmed for me that Sara Wachter-Boettcher and @Meyerweb's book Design for Real Life is as needed now as it was in 2016.

@Amy_Hupe I’m sorry you had to deal with this at such a difficult time, and I’m very sorry you were having that difficult time. I hope things are at least somewhat better now that we’re later in the year.

@Amy_Hupe it's such a good point. I've also received those cheerful emails when I'm on the way to a funeral.

But, at the same time, I'm wary about telling Premiere Inn the exact nature of my travel plans.

@Edent Absolutely, I thought about that too. That said, I don't think the companies necessarily need a lot of information - they just need to capture, sensitively, that your trip is not a happy one. And in any event, users should of course still have a choice about whether or not they provide that information.
