Yesterday morning: a computer system emailed me saying "You have two unread notifications". I went to its website, read them, and did something about them.

Today: same computer system emails me again, saying I still have those two unread notifications. Apparently, _reading_ them didn't make it stop thinking they were unread. Fine, ok, here's the "Mark As Read" button.

… the "Mark As Read" button brings up a dialog box with a table re-summarising the actions to be taken (namely, these two messages are going to be marked as read), and I have to click "Submit" to make it happen.

And then when I click Submit, it thinks for several seconds _per message_, marking first one of them as read and then the other.

And _then_ I have to click OK to dismiss the dialog box, which is still sitting there reporting on the actions that have been taken.

If it's possible to make dismissing a notification more cumbersome than this, I don't _want_ to know how!
