Verification Codes.

One-Time my ass, more like, repeated times. I’m so tired of verification codes up the ass these days. Just today, I had to reset my PayPal password. So that meant there was a code sent to an e-mail address after the reset process was set, to begin with. Then I had to go through the obstacle of verifying the information of the account. And then even after the password was reset, I’m sent ANOTHER freaking code right after!

And it’s even more frustrating to deal with, with my bank. I’ve gotten random verification checks for making internal transfers within my account. Things I’ve done without any issue. But just one day, I got THREE verification checks to do what I needed to do!

This verification shit has gotten out of hand! I want it to just die, just like captcha. Whatever purpose they originally were intended to do, is lost in translation, because now they’re just obstacles that wastes our time every minute we have to bother with them.

    Even then they still managed to fuck it up sometimes. My 22-year-old 350Z has the three knobs but does this stupid fucking thing where it turns on the A/C when you set the air to recirc, as if it believes that I’m dumb enough to drive around and let the windows fog up. I live in the fucking desert; not a problem here—and even if it was—all you gotta do is switch back to fresh air or roll down the windows for a bit.

    It’s so god damn annoying because sometimes I just want to run the heater without smelling everyone’s exhaust, but can’t because the fucking thing thinks it’s smarter than me…
