Possibly Unlocking The Point
Client: “It says my password is incorrect, but I’m sure I entered it correctly.”
Me: “Okay, let’s try to log on with my computer. Can I have your password?”
The client hands me a (poorly) handwritten note with eight different passwords, all thirty-two digits long.
Client: “It should be one of these.”
Me: “You know, there’s really no need to make your passwords that long. Eight digits should be enough.”
Client: “That wouldn’t be very safe, now, would it?!”
Me: “How many locks do you have on your front door?”
Client: “One. Why?”
Me: “Why not ten? It’s much safer.”
Client: “That’s stupid. It would take ages to get into my house.”
