Setting Up a New Internet Account

Setting up an account on some sites drives me nuts.

 

There is a preface stating “All items marked with a * must be completed”

You fill in :-

Your first name

Your family name

Your date of birth

Your address

Your Country

Your Email address

Your Preferred User Name

Your password

 

And then press next.

 

A warning comes up to fill in your State or County – which you do - then press “Next”

 

A warning comes up that the user name you have chosen has already been used – please chose another

 

You fill in another User name

 

A warning comes up that this user name has already been used – please chose another

 

You do this several times until you succeed in finding a User Name that is accepted.

 

A warning then comes up “Your birth date should be in the format DD MM YYYY

 

You fill in your birth date in the required format and press “Next”

 

A warning comes up stating that your password should have a minimum of 8 characters

 

You change the password and press “Next” – when you notice that the form is now blank.

 

You curse and start all over again – this time being careful to use the required format and complete all the boxes including the 8 character password

 

A warning comes up that the password must contain letters and numbers with a minimum of one letter in capitals and a symbol

 

You fill in F*kU4x@2

 

A warning comes up that says the symbols */?@& are not allowed and the form goes blank

 

You give in.

That is annoying Alan ..but very funny to read about. Could I suggest a username of:

thisusernamejustcannotpossiblybetakencanit

and the password:

Ithinkth|s1cOuLdw0rk

hoping that the | symbol will be acceptable for the stupid form.
