    Much more secure, keep a note of it in your wallet, clearly marked PASSWORD, just in case you should forget it.

    So I've got used to this and my passwords all now have a special formula that incorporates a special character.

    Then a few weeks ago I sign up to a site that won't allow special characters!!!

    Goddamnit!!!

    Drives me bonkers that. Now think what I have to do working for an IFA where we have accounts with pretty much every financial services provider and some of them don't offer IFA accounts so we have individual logins per client.

    Some have username, password, passcode then 1 of up to 5 questions you've previously given answers for, like what was the name of your Aunt Hilda's bulldog.
    There's no other way round it other than having a password protected spreadsheet of all the different logins, which makes the whole system pointless in the first place.


    So I have my own to remember, the ones for work and also the ones for both of my aged parents who's financial affairs I deal with. I reckon I've got about 80 or so different logins and that's not including the ones that have a unipass.

    I've been using a system that works for me. Use a core password of at least six lower case letters, eg ******. Then use capitals, numbers and special characters as required, depending on which site you are using, eg.

    Facebook password = ******FB1
    Barclaycard password = ******@BC1

    However the thing that pi sses me off is when I am given a username that is randomly allocated and can't be changed, eg. my bank's username is a nine-digit number. Why? At work, our payslips are now only available online, and our usernames are our payroll numbers, as if anyone can remember them! I did complain, saying that I am a name, not a number, blah-de-blah, but to no avail. 'It's how the system recognises you' I was told. Why can't they recognise me by name and password like most other sites?

    My work email is covered by colleagues when I'm away. I've asked 5 times for my payslip to be emailed to a private email address but can they be arsed to do that? I;ve learned from bitter experience that the **** always hits the fan when colleagues know what other people are being paid.

    This happened to me the other day, so I had to reset it, but of course, I couldn't reset it to something I might remember because I have to pick an entirely new password containing at least one capital, one number, one special character and one piece of ancient Sanskrit.

    I have no idea why you are even thinking about the image of me backing into you. It's not in anyway related to what's gone before!

    Clients who send through an enquiry requesting information on the countries/regions I sell, so I send the brochures out

    I try to get in touch via email/voicemail (several of these) to see how they're getting on, and they seem unable to find the courtesy to reply. Only when do I send a "pester email" do I get an eggy response from them, asking me not to pester them.

    If you don't want all my emails and voicemails, then bloody say so at the beginning of the enquiry. I work in sales - my job is to sell to you. Besides, why let all this annoyance every time I email build up on the client's side, only for them to finally vent after my pester email? Tell me at the beginning you spanner.

    Yeah I get similar in my job. People take the time to register and provide all their info, supporting documents, contact numbers etc, then they get the arse and seem totally shocked when you contact them for a chat. You've come to us ****head! I’ve not randomly knocked on your door and tried to sell you dish cloths. Some of them then say I don’t want marketing calls and emails, at which point I say it’s not a marketing call, you've registered with us and we’re entitled to call you and find out a bit more about what you want to do. Why bother enquiring if you don’t actually want to talk to another human being about it.

    What do you sell? Not dischloths? If so the whole rigmarole of marketing, people registering etc seems a bit far fetched

    Popped into the Post Office today to send some supplies & random stuff to my daughter at Uni. I had it packed up in a large padded envelope.
    Bloke behind the counter asked me what was in the package, I assumed for insurance purposes.
    "Nothing much" I replied, "some pens, a book, an old soft toy, some random stuff, my Wife put most of it in there so I'm not really sure to be honest", (I felt a but silly even having to tell him, first time I've been asked in 40+ years of using post offices).
    He told me he needed to know for "health and safety purposes" so asked me again.
    I got a bit miffed after he said that and asked if he was flying it there personally and to take a look inside if he was worried. He stopped asking. No doubt it'll end up opened and spilled all over the sorting office floor.

    T*t.

    My wife tried to send a friend a set of 3 mini gins. Post office wouldnt let her send it as you could only send 2 bottles of alcohol at once. A 1l bottle is ok but 3 50ml bottles are not. Madness

    2 things;

    People who sell mattresses on Facebook. "Double bed frame and mattress for sale, good condition, just a couple of stains on the mattress". Accompanied by photo either of mattress with big dirty brown marks, or in one case, an unmade bed with various items around like hairbrush and old clothes. At least make the bed.

    People who buy 2nd hand mattresses off Facebook.
