>The memories are flooding back
So, for some reason that includes lots of Asian accts, 'username' is trending on Twatter.
This triggered me to remember past triggers.
Way back in the stone ages of the internets you couldn't post anywhere w/o a username.
Which sucked for me because I really didn't have a natural nickname other than a deriv of my own name which wasn't as cool as what others were using.
So, when faced with a decision on what to choose, I locked up and stared for minutes at the screen where it said Username:______
Hmmm, maybe this one? Nah. How bout this? Nah. etc etc etcโฆ
That's when the urethra! (h/t Kelly Bundy) moment hit me.
I'll just use Username for mine! I mean I am an IT guy so it kinda works.
OMG, anons, you wouldn't believe just how bad doing that triggered everybody else.
I have no sauce, but believe me, I once had a stint as the most hated individual on the whole wide web.
