How's that shaming?

It's not sayin "Do it later, I'm a lazy bum."

It's not directly shaming, but it presents the user with three options.

1. Comply with whatever they want you to do

2. Lie (say that you are going to comply later without intending to)

3. Walk away from the product (perhaps forever).
