I do stupid things...People who know me are well aware of my stupid antics...wearing things inside out, wearing mismatched shoes..these are just a few of the stupid things that I do. Recently, I topped myself...and did the stupidist thing ever!!!
On my first day at work, I had to make long ins, passwords, and security questions to a few zillion websites that I use at work on a daily basis. Only now, do I use all of them...I basically had to learn one site at a time. So a few days ago, I was asked to sign on to a particular site. It kept rejecting my password and forced me to answer some security questions. The first question that popped up was ridiculous..."What was the name of the street you lived on in 3rd grade?"
Uh, who the heck knows?!? I basically moved every year as a kid...and although I have a great memory for useless information...that is not something I remember. So I vehemently told myself and all my colleagues that I did not set up these questions!! They told me to call the customer service for assistance...and I did. Of course, they ask me to answer the security questions so they can reset my password. But, I tell them that is impossible because I never set up the questions and I don't know the answers.
I got frustrated and hung up with these people/called them back/hung up/called them back...FOUR TIMES!! On the fourth try...the customer service lady had a little mercy on me. She said there were three questions...and said she'd ask me another one. I told her it didn't matter because I didn't set the questions up. It was obviously a conspiracy!! So, she said..."let's just try it"..."If you can answer two of the three...I can reset you." I sighed DEEPLY. And then she asked, "What's the name of your first pet?"
"Mousse?" and she said yes. I wondered how that could possibly be right when I never set up the questions...the conspiracy plot thickened! And then she asked me the final question, "What's your childhood nickname?" "Sue?" She said...no, it's not Sue...but it certainly ISN'T something I'd want to be called.
My eyes widened...in sheer and utter horror and humiliation. Could it be?? Noooo...please God...NOOOO! "FATTY?!?!?!?!"
Needless to say, I have a new password. Not only did I look like a fool for telling everyone that I did not set up my security questions...but, I set one up with the most embarrassing nickname!! ANDDDD...the biggest big mouth who sits next to me heard the entire conversation and made sure to tell the rest of my team!!
I'm mad at myself for thinking a security question would only be seen by me...and I'm mad at my siblings for making up such a horrifying nickname, and I'm mad at me for answering them when they called me that...and I'm mad that I always seem to get myself into the most ridiculous situations!
