      To be fair, all those bizarre rules for passwords that companies employ really are bogus bullshit; they're the result of pure cargo cult thinking. I rather doubt that this guy knows this, however, and thus is not arguing from that particular stance.

        All I can say to that is "Correct Horse Battery Staple".

            @WTFE I remember being legitimately annoyed once, years ago, when I was trying to make an account for Age of Conan's beta. I mean I don't use wimpy passwords for anything anyway, but that thing had some absurd requirements - like 10 characters, two non-alpharithmetic, mixed case?

            For a beta account? It didn't even have my credit card information or real name!

            I blame @Auspice.

                I hate it when people get annoyed at difficult things.

                Like, it's difficult. For you. Not for the rest of us.

                I love you, man, but, like, yeah, fuck, shit, perspective.

                        Seriously, is there some kind of limit to the number of times somebody can completely fuck you over, brazenly lie to you, and stab you in the back?

                        Just... fffffffuck.

                        Oh fucking well.

                              I was going with "until one of you is dead" or "until the restraining order sticks". I only advocate one of them. (Hint: It's the latter.)

                                My options on a Friday night:

                                • Bite the bullet, hire a sitter, get out and try to meet somebody.

                                • Buy a gallon of gin, cry myself to sleep.

                                    @Wizz Try Hendricks! As a martini, it tastes like alcoholic Squirt soda.

                                    I have a waggish sense of humor.

                                      @Misadventure ...that sounds like heaven. I have such a weakness for Squirt soda and you can't get it here, so whenever we go somewhere that we can find it, we practically live on it. This is why nobody ever loses weight on vacation even if we're running all over the place being stupidly active compared to our normal activity levels.

                                      Oh fucking well.

                                        I don't mean to file my taxes last-minute every year, but I do.

                                        The software I use decided not to update, so I went to update my OS, which decided not to update. I eventually sorted this out, but I do this to myself every year. Why? Reasons, no doubt.

                                        That I owe $410 (or even one red cent) to the Feds is enough to set me off, in the way that I have nothing major in my life that is actually important setting me off.

                                          I have a buddy who has been with the same job for years and has been fiddling with his deductions the whole time.

                                          All so he could get to this year.
                                          Where he's owed $0.01.
                                          And is having the IRS mail him the check.

                                          I had to shed a tear at the glory of it all.
