Idiot-boy finishes his exams, finds out he managed to write some pretty damn good essays in spite of the lateness of some, and goes home for Christmas break, where his parents have upgraded their dialup ISP to DSL with the same company.
Idiot-boy goes to install said DSL for his parents. Installation is easy, everything goes fine, simple, all that.
Idiot-boy needs a username and a password. Idiot-boy's father uses the same set of five passwords for everything, and Idiot-boy knows them all by now, so runs through the list. None work. Idiot-boy asks what the password is, is told another one which was created by Idiot-boy's mom, who was apparently the one who signed up for the service. Doesn't work. Idiot-boy asks his parents to pull out the written record of the password from wherever they stored it.
They don't have one.
Seriously. My parents don't know the password to their ISP, and didn't bother writing it down when the company didn't provide a document with it in writing. So now, we have to call the ISP tomorrow and have them dig it up for us.
Idiot-boy is unimpressed.
