Mh, my steam pass is a bit like the first one, and i can remember it perfectly fine.
Not all services allow passwords as long as 4 words, too.


EDIT:

My rage:
Windows 8. It suddenly became very tempting to wait for steam to be released to linux and then switch to ubuntu.

My telephone and internet service provieder is totally amateur. I contact them with an issue (old broken cable outside my property causing a noisy line rendering the internet unstable and the phone impossible to use), carefully explaining the diagnostic procedure followed as reccomended by thier own help guide which allowed me to come to the conclusion - according to both thier and the engineering company they use for repairs the natue and location of the fault should entitle me to a free of charge repair. In reply they simply send me a list of diagnositc steps that you have to go through in order to actually get to the contact detals page, and a warning that they may charge me anyway, clearly contradicting all information presented about payment charges to this point. The best bit is that they want me to all thier engineering department using the line they provide me, despite the issue being that it is unusable. What sort of company doesnt actually listen to its customers in this manner? I am more than capable of running a new cable myself, but if I did so they could accuse me of criminal damage as I am not "qualified" to do such a thing. Clowns.

Mh, from what i heard, all of the telecom companies are like that.
Especially the helpdesks, they'll not sort out your problem and try to give you a more expensive plan even if you refuse.

I used to work customer service for Cox, and they would have sent someone out to go look at / fix it.

Welcome to consumer tech support. Tier 1 has a Script, and the Script is all they know. There is no deviation from the Script. The Script is their shepherd and they shall not think. Their primary job is to insulate the actual technical people from hordes of customers who don't know where their fucking power button is. Unfortunately, they also insulate them from customers who actually know what the hell they're doing. Your mission is to penetrate that protective shell and reach someone with a working frontal lobe. Once you do, they'll likely be able to fix it in minutes.

The problem I always have when I have to deal with Time-Warner is that while I've perfected blowing past Tier 1 (mostly by being belligerent, overwhelming them with detail and making a note of the fact that I do this for a living) and stumping Tier 2, the higher tiers are never readily available to take my call and *never* call me back. I usually wind up figuring it out myself.

The other way I get past Tier 1 is that most of it is offshored, and after asking someone to repeat themselves 8 times because I literally can't understand most of what they're saying, they'll eventually transfer you to Tier 2 just for that.

Theres also the technical people rarely in Tier 1 who are unexpected.

Good news, everyone! I got fired yesterday afternoon, since the boss saw fit not to tell me until I was just leaving. No reason was given, but I happen to have a document(that rules sheet) that might be enough to prove discrimination. Asshole probably went back and erased the timesheet record of me being there yesterday(he has a habit of doing that), too.

To the WBC...

Definitely show that rules sheet to somebody and get that dude some legal thumping.  I've been starting to wonder if that guy is even right in the head after all the stuff we've heard about him from you.

Don't forget to chase that lost day if he erased it. Security cameras tell all. If he stole from you, make him pay dearly.
