OMFG, the "not now" option (also disguised as an "ask later" button) makes me want to break things. I'm seeing this happening everywhere!

Log into your bank account? SIGN UP FOR E-BILLING! (YES/ASK LATER)

Want to order something online? SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER!! (OK/REMIND ME LATER)

Want to pay your utility bill? RATE OUR SERVICE! (OK/REMIND ME LATER)
