So,
If you ask a short-fused woman to reset her password, and keep telling her:
- Choose a new password you have not used before,
- Choose a more secure password,
- Your two passwords don’t match,
And keep locking her out of her Apple account,
this may lead said cranky woman to finally create a password that contains the word “F-ck”-
directed at no one in particular –
because she’s all roiled up,
and this password is meant for her eyes only,
except this woman may have to go to a T-Mobile store,
with her 2 kids in tow,
and eventually be prompted,
by the helpful young store clerk,
to provide her Apple password to him –
because he needs it to help you,
and you can re-set it afterwards,
so you mumble it, all red-faced,
except it’s COVID so you’re wearing a face mask,
and have to semi-shout “F-CK”,
along with a string of other related words,
in front of her two small children,
to an embarrassed store clerk.
Which brings me to the moral of my story and my true sentence #4: No matter what Google or Apple does to antagonize you, during a Pandemic do not pick a password that contains the word “f*ck”, or you will have to shout-curse through a face mask in front of your kids, AND embarrass the nice, young store clerk at T-Mobile.
(This also applies to when you’re setting up a new email address, or my next post and my true sentence #5.)
At least my 3-year-old says, “Flippety flipper” and “Flippety flip flip flip.”
I’ll let it slide. As long as my kid don’t start saying “Flip me [hard].”
