the necessity of passwords
How To Go Crazy 101
by pome lover
The other day I lost it! This business of having to have a password for everything is truly maddening.
I bought myself a password directory. However, for some diabolical reason, sometimes, when I type one in, the company it’s for doesn’t recognize it and says “Error. Incorrect password.” Why? Who knows? Companies don’t explain. So, I scratch out the original one and make up a new one.
This has happened to me multiple times. My directory is a mess of scratched out words and I have become frustrated and angry. Now, when I have to change them, my new passwords are increasingly expressive and indicative of my ever-rising blood pressure.
My AT&T password is now “Frustration1.” Amazon password is “Disgusted!” Google’s is “Dammit!123,” and Wells Fargo’s is “OhForPeteSake!!!”
If this continues, my computer will either end up tossed in the garbage or die a slow, agonizing death of ever-increasing shame.
