gf is planning to visit me in London over the bank-holiday weekend and, ever 
chivalrous, I offered to book her tickets for her.  Of course, as you have to 
identify yourself with the payment card used on collection, I had to use hers. 
(Chivalrous, as I said).

"No problem", I think.  I'll create an account for her on thetrainline.com, fill 
in her details, log in as her, book the ticket, then fill in her card details.

Of course, when I check

* the confirmation has been sent to her email (good)
* it is addressed to me (bad)
* it has charged the payment to her credit card (good)
* the transaction appears in my account list, not in hers (bad)

So, perhaps I was still logged in as me.

Which would make sense obviously as,
a) I've just registered a new username,
b) I've just logged in as that username
c) There's no button saying "Logout - because I'm too fucking stupid to 
automatically log you off before you log in again"

Hate.

And a lesser evil, but something I forgot to hate in my last post: the "login" 
link is a link, not a button.  The button next to it is to request a password 
reminder.  Just to keep you on your toes.
