Spaceballs Had It Right

Usernames and passwords are the bane of my existence. It seems like you have to have a username and password to do anything any more, and there is always a reason why you can't use the same one you always use.

"Someone else has it."

"You need a letter and number."

"No spaces or symbols."

"Just because we don't like you!"

Once you finally find one that works, what do you do with the 357 different usernames and passwords that you have? You can rely on your memory but that's like playing that cup game where you need to guess what cup has the nut under it, only now you have 357 cups to choose from. So your only other option is to store them in a program somewhere that will more than likely require you to use another password. But you say to me, "You can always retrieve a forgotten username or password." Sure you can, once you get through the buttload of secret questions that can be about the most random things.

"What was the name of your neighbor's third dog, twice removed?"

"What was the color of your crush's shirt in grade 3, on October 17th?"

This whole username and password thing is just a giant conspiracy the government is using to distract us long enough so they can tax us even more without us noticing. So, if it seems as though it has been a while since I have posted something, it's likely because I'm trying to pick one of the 357 cups that might have my username and password under it!
