A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

"Mom, what is your WiFi passcode?"

*She opens up a hard cover address book and it’s like we’re trying to solve the DaVinci Code.*

*We try the one passcode that is CROSSED OUT.*
Success!

@LoganFive
How this happens: you forget that you changed it, and also forget where you have it written, so you reset it back to what you thought it was.

@LoganFive
Bonus: you later discover that the crossed-out one is correct, so you circle it, and cross the other one out *twice*.

@samy If Martin Short and Steve Martin were playing characters like my mother in Only Murders in the building, they would have 12 murder boards mixed with grocery lists and random receipts, and key evidence lost in the junk drawer.

@LoganFive I’m laughing out loud at the Volvo service , ppl think I’m weird.*
My mum is like this.

*Ok they know I’m weird. But have a cool car they like so they don’t say it just think. 😂

@LoganFive this legit happened to me a couple weeks ago at my parent's house, except they both had their own books out and were arguing who's book was right because they had different values. They ended up saying that's how they keep each other in check. What's even more hilarious is I set them both up with bitwarden so they could share this kind of stuff.

@LoganFive This is my mum. She forgets the password, so makes a new one, forgets that, maybe writes it down, but forgets it or doesn't read her notes so what's written down may be wrong.

I really need to see if I could move her to a password manager, she's dyslexic and scatty but does have all her marbles....
