Aggravating

So! Over the weekend I had an email from a local deal of the day site with an offer for $20 worth of goodies from the spice shop for $10. (The spice shop is pretty nice and it’s located across the street).

(Yes, I’m excited about a coupon for a spice shop. Leave me alooooone).

I know I purchased something from this deal of the day site last year but apparently they have implemented a ridiculously stringent password system in the last few months so I managed to lock out my Gmail account. Not to be dissuaded, I set up an account using my classy sounding email (elaine.lastname@internetprovider.com)….

And then somehow got locked out of that.

Ha ha! But Crazy Elaine reaaaally wanted the coupon to the spice shop so instead I set up ANOTHER account (yes, a THIRD account) with this stupid website using another version of my grownup email address (elaine.lastname@internetprovider.net – it’s the same as the other email, but different enough to count as a separate account to…)

Get locked out again! Of my third freaking account. And the way to get unlocked… get this…you have to contact the freakin’ deal of the day site and have them reset it. But they didn’t email me my password and username on the first request.

And then on the second request, they sent me the password but not username.

I tried the password with what I assumed was my username (also my email)…

and got locked out again.

I WANT MY DAMN TEN DOLLARS OF FREE SPICES, DAMMIT.

PS – turns out my username was the same as my Twitter ID. Sometimes the internet kicks my ass.
