Many of us have wrestled with the profound conundrum that is trying to remember what our dang security questions are, for when it's time to login to various online services, like banks. For whatever reason this dude decided to make his security question very personal. And the answer that they provided was nothing short of gold. Can't imagine what kind of beautiful awkward silence must've been present during this call.

Sites usually give you generic boring security questions to pick from like "What is your mother's maiden name?". It was a first time that any site allowed me to type my own security question and answer. I excitedly jumped at this anomaly! In retrospect, I don't know why I did this but thought it would be funny to make my se

    Font - Fast forward to today, when I had a banking issue and had to call my credit union for assistance. A male customer service representative gets on the line and says "Okay I just need to verify your identity. What is the last 4 digits of your social security number?" Me: "****II Him: "Okay." He pauses. A long pause and then asks if I know my security question? Me: "Umm did I select...'What is your mother's maiden name?'

    Font - Me: "Oh crap." I embarrassingly laugh. I am mortified. my stream of consciousness goes like this, why did I type this as my security question!?! And then not remembering what I typed...

    Font - Me: "Oh man... why did I put this as my security question? *nervous laughter* I guess I never thought l'd have to say it over the phone. Is there another way we can verify my identity?" Him: "Yeah I can ask you other questions." We go through the whole process, he helps me with my original issue and then he tells me "You can either keep your old security question or create a new one, which would you like?"

    Font - TL;DR: My credit union's website allowed me to enter my own security question so I had fun with it and typed a joke and then forgot about it. Today, I had a banking issue so when I called the customer service rep he asked me to answer my security question "Who would make love to me?". I was embarrassed and didn't know the answer typed. Later he told me my answer was "no one... in all lowercase". 22.5k 478 ↑, Share
