  1. Customer password = 'wonttellya' on Fun With Passwords? · · Score: 1

    Back in 1997 when I was doing phone support for the ISP I'm working for, I had a customer calling us who had troubles with his mail account. It was monday afternoon and one of those days that would never end, I already had a lot of unfriendly customers on the phone that day and I was quite a bit bad mooded.

    The conversation went like this:

    Customer: "I'm having troubles with my mailbox"
    Me: "OK, what's your username?"

    Customer: <tells me his username>
    Me: "OK, and what's your password?"

    Customer: "Won't tell ya"
    Me (getting upset): Now listen, how am I supposed to help you if you won't tell your @*#! password?! <angry>

    Customer: "Sorry, you don't understand, my password _IS_ 'wonttellya'"
    Me: <duh!!!>
