I was caught like this, where I was given an option of two buttons to
press.

I deliberated for a while, believing one definitely signed me up to
prime, and the other I eventually clicked on had an ambiguous
description but was the lesser of two evils. I then found I was signed up.

I felt Amazon put me in a position between a rock and a hard place, and
still have no idea how I could escape signing up.

It was a simple matter to cancel, but I made my feelings made through a
varied choice of words in their complaints channel.


Indeed. That was pretty much my experience.
