One of my colleagues or rather all of my immediate colleagues sometimes require help when it comes to the internet. Today there was a ‘ Can’t remember my password’ day. So well, I guided my colleague to the “Can’t access account” link, from where we moved onto “resetting the password” and sending the link to re-setting the password to another e-mail address. Now, once upon a time, the colleague decided to punch in his wife’s email address as an alternate email address, which meant that the link to re-set his mail account’s password would go into his wife’s email account.
“Umm… I think I’ll wait a week. My wife is out of town. I think I’ll reset it when she comes back.”
” Can you undo everything?”
Me, amused answer back: “That’s ok! I did not send the request, so there is nothing to be un-done here.”
“Oh good”, the colleague answers with visible relief on his face.
I could not resist and said: “Never make the mistake of sharing your password with your wife?”
The answer: “oh yes!”.
Need I say more?
Hmmm…..
I recently got engaged and i shared this with my fiance :P we had a good laugh on this :)
haha. that’s good fun. :)
hahaha..!
:) thanks for stopping by.
BUahahaha! Oh i love your blog! so full of office jokes!
What happened with his account later on btw?
well, there was a phone call and then there was instantaneous link verification and password changing. :) i am not so sure writing these work anecdotes is a good idea. :P
nah nah that’s absolutely the best way to laugh. I myself used to write office tales. A boss that seldom smiles was my first post on crazy workplace stuff I guess.
HAHAHA! Oh dear. My friend who got married instantly got access to her husband’s facebook, e-mail and phone and regularly checks them and he checks hers. I’m not sure how I feel about that, but to each their own. The cartoon made me laugh though :).
