I hate getting incorrect error messages

well, now that I know what they are, I suppose it's more a matter of shaking my head at the stupidity

I think I just got one from the DMV, saying my password wasn't recognized. The real problem is probably that they just aren't open yet. Even if it isn't the problem, this happens to me so often that I have to wait and make sure before clicking on "I forgot my password" [which I didn't]

all kinds of incorrect error messages come up. It's laziness at these outfits. Maybe your mileage varies

My gripe is that most sites won't tell you if it is the UserID or password that is wrong. I seem to always try and correct the wrong one.

At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

afflicting me today, two of them

* getting a false error message from your computer. The people who program these messages don't give a hoot about being accurate or not, and they are more likely to be inaccurate than otherwise if you ask me. Today a page that had been open for days somehow lost its identity or something and I got a pop-up saying 'lost connection, retrying' as if the internet were down ... it wasn't and the page wasn't "retrying" to connect, wasting my time

* Worse! searching on the internet for a product and the search engine lists stuff they want to sell but which don't match what I asked for. This has been nearly disastrous at times ... these days I'm very careful

Amazon I've caught popping up in a google search for a product they don't sell at all
