Every time I run into that, I hit CTRL-C and add a -f.
Faux Windows "Are you sure? Y/N" behavior annoys the hell out of me.
Yes. I understand I work on an OS that expects me to get the command right the first time, or if I didn't make appropriate backups, hitting enter may be a career limiting action. It's been that way for 20 years before I started using it, and it'll be that way after I'm dead.
Kinda like aviation. Don't do the stuff that will kill you. Or you'll be dead. Same mentality.
Of course I also learned to preface any executable command with ./ when we had to work our way carefully through cleaning up a machine that had binaries replaced with malicious crap.
That good habit never dies once you start doing it. $PATH is not always your friend.
