Yahoo hates me (a rant)

I've had my yahoo ID for about 10 years now give or take a few. Cheshierekat. It fit me.

Anyway, I go to sign in this morning and it gives me the message telling me that either A) I typed in the wrong password....or that B) my yahoo ID does not exisit. After screaming at the computer for ten minutes and typing in every single password I have had for the last year I finally gave up and emailed them.

I still haven't heard back from them.

It is now 7:58pm PST and I can't log into yahoo. I had to create a new ID and now I have to go through all of my profiles on various websites and change my yahoo ID. I am so upset right now. Grrr. I am blaming it on your gremlins Pixie. They are up to this, I know it!

Why does yahoo hate me so much?

How'bout using the "forgot my password" routine?

Something like that happened to mine, thats why I switched to czneddie.

Anyways- when it is fixed- you're going to have to go through the various sites to change it back, no?

I tried that. But, they said that I was not entering the right zip code. I tried every zip code I have ever lived in and it still was telling me that I was wrong. As if I don't know where I live. Sheesh.

Oh, and so this morning I have an email from customer support. And here I am thinking "Yay! They got it fixed!". Nope. It was a SATISFACTION SURVEY. Like I am really satisfied right now. At least I was able to vent on the survey a little.

Probably. But I think that I will use the new one on the sites and my old one for my friends list. There's no rule that says you can't have more account, right? I know people that have multiple accounts with Yahoo and Hotmail.

At least my msn is working still.....I think......

Lol, that happens all the time. The survey I mean. It's damn annoying when you write to Yahoo support about something, they post you a rip-off from the FAQ which you have read a dozen times and know it does not help, and then you get the survey, which doesn't even say clearly what it's about. (Nice if you have sent several messages.) If you try to get it quickly and say everything went just fine, it asks if you wish to give the person who handled your report an award of some sort! :P No thanks... After getting the survey about three times I stopped answering and it does send "a last chance to change your mind" raport a few days after. Maybe the whole thing is to disencourage people from asking stupid questions.

It was actually the satisfaction survey that finally saved my account. They read what I put (I wasn't very nice) and then sent me a new password. It was nice of them. Maybe they don't hate me as much as I first thought.

Or maybe they just don't want YOU to hate them.

Maybe....The Yahoo gods would be the only ones who know what their motives truly were.

Wait.... You've been on it for 10 years and you don't know it's most-common name? It's Yahell. It always has been. Every rper, whether para or one-line, knows that the name of that frickin' company is Yahell. Been there for seven years, rping whenever I feel like it. Anyways, I just wanted to point out the name YAHELL. Thanks.

This is the first time (and hopefully the last) that it's given me problems of any kind.

Maybe your going through a 'Me vs The World' phase.

It's more of a Me vs the Internet sort of thing
