Every once in a while when I know the conversation is going nowhere and the person is not an existing customer I will say whatever I can to make them feel like an idiot. That satisfaction holds me over for quite some time.

I have a few password variants I use, some low security, some higher, highest for my online banking / investing / CC. Despite my otherwise crapulent memory, I remember passwords really well and don't have trouble getting locked out of things.
However, that apparently doesn't apply to my Chase credit card. Here's the dance every other month or so when I go to log in and pay my bill, using a password I use on 2 other sites and I know is correct.
Your username or password doesn't match what we have on file. Try signing in again, or choose Forgot username/password for help.

To protect your security, we have locked you out of your account.
FINE LET ME RESET MY PASSWORD TO WHAT I FUCKING KNOW IT WAS AND SHOULD BE
Sorry, you cannot use a password you have recently used.

yeah, i'm so sick of the password requirements. I'm generally fine with passwords, but the one that gets me is the 'can't you your last 30 passwords' one.
I also don't understand the ones where you can't use special characters, only numbers and letters... JFC

Why does my Starbucks app require stronger pwd than my freaking CC or online banking

At work, we cannot reuse passwords. Ever.
We also can't use anything in the dictionary or anything that resembles a word in the dictionary.
They are reset every 90 days and I've been here for almost 7 years.
Nothing any website can throw at me phases me anymore.

This reminds me I need to stop dicking with those things and get a password manager.

Generally longer passwords are stronger than complex ones. Lots of places are still stuck in old school thinking on the issue so you get mixed standards, which are up to who ever implemented.

I've been using LastPass for maybe six months. Between personal and work passwords, it's a lifesaver.

me to production manager - "hey i need the product photos for the box so we can make it look like the prior version (just bought a product from another manufacturer, we're copying their box with our branding). High res or RAW if possible, thanks"
gosh danged dingdong sends me a link to a folder of over 800 studio shots, unedited. no files are labeled as to where i can tell they were the ones used on the box. I needed 4 photos.
and after combing through them all...at least one of the photos i need, isn't even there.

12-14 characters (no more or less we cannot handle that) that includes:
A capital letter
A number
A special character

But on another note of things I hate, how about when your phone does some major update that changes half the shit you use every day, but doesn't offer any information about it? Up is down, right is wrong, red means green, random icons replacing other random icons....
Let me tell you how much I enjoy figuring out all these wonderful new "features" whilst trying to drive!

How to know when you've gotten old
RE: You know what really grinds my gears?! - BLINGMW - 09-14-2018
Sure, that's the easy response, and clearly the attitude of typical developers.... but on the other hand, if you want people to take your product seriously, random unannounced operational changes aren't the way to go. All it takes is a FAQ, release notes, SOMETHING. I can think of no other device in history that expects people to put up with such crap.
Oh hey, we changed your shifter operation today without notice; D means "drive backward", P means "proceed to next destination", N is for "not driving anymore", and R means "rev engine".
Oh hey, new feature today, pressing your toiler lever up means flush. Down means enema.
Oh hey, regular up/down light switches are boring. Today it's press to start and up/down controls the thermostat.

Found the problem
RE: You know what really grinds my gears?! - BLINGMW - 09-14-2018
lol yeah you're right that's the problem, I'm using an obscure operating system run by only 100 million people in the US. And I just started using computers and have never seen Apple, Microsoft, or others do such things.
