$ echo

[user@host foo]$ removedir
Delete the current directory /home/user/asdf/.hidden/a b c/foo ? no
I'm watching you
[user@host foo]$ removedir 
Delete the current directory /home/user/asdf/.hidden/a b c/foo ? yes
[user@host a b c]$ removedir
Delete the current directory /home/user/asdf/.hidden/a b c ? yes
[user@host .hidden]$ removedir 
Delete the current directory /home/user/asdf/.hidden ? yes
[user@host asdf]$ unset PWD 
[user@host asdf]$ removedir 
Delete the current directory  ? yes
$PWD not set
[user@host asdf]$ 

May want to change echos to more descriptive (more than 255 characters) such as:

$ removedir(){ read -p "You are about to delete the current directory $PWD Are you sure? " human;if [ "$human" = "yes" ]; then [ -z "${PWD##*/}" ] && { echo "Error: Couldn't get working directory" >&2;return 1;}; rm -Rf ../"${PWD##*/}"/ && cd ..; else echo "I'm watching you" | pv -qL 10; fi; }
