All I have to say…… I love my job….
“Customer:” I found the location of a relative, who is listed in “[public burial record group]”, burial unknown. How do I change these incorrect sources.
Tech: We are a web hosting company. Our services do not include updating the burial records for individuals who have passed on. I recommend contacting the cemetery of where the individual is resting to have this information updated.

Customer: You say I have to wait 10-15 minutes about your super-secret password email. first of all that is RIDICULOUS. Second of all, I need to get to my account NOW why are you holding me hostage and third, I’ve waited LONG ENOUGH send me the email!!!!!
Customer: what exactly is your damage? where is this “precious” email from you???????
Tech: please check your spam filter or junk folder if you are not receiving the e-mail.
Customer: FINALLY got your “precious” email that took a REE-DONK-U-LOUS amount of time….there is NOTHING wrong with my current PW it has plenty of variety including a special character and a number. when did you guys become such password dictators?
Customer: i added a capital and STILL not good enough for you? I just switched all of my services over to you and now i realize i am dealing with a bunch of unreasonable dictators
Tech: Passwords must contain at least 8 characters, one lower, one capital, one number, and one non-alphanumeric character. This is a security precaution. I apologize for the frustration this has caused you.
Customer: fine, i’ll be looking for yet another company who are not so unreasonable. seriously. this is STUPID.
