What made you smile or laugh today? Part IV

The powers that be have made a very strange mash up of J’s and mine surnames and used that for the both of us in our building’s records, name tags and everywhere. Funny, but also annoying because now we have to get it fixed and that’s more work. But I hope they let us keep the engraved plaque with the mash up name that’s on our door now when they replace it with (hopefully) our real names.

This brings up all kind of questions.

You have to wear a nametag in your building? Why?

Do you want your name displayed for any random person to see on your door? Security alarms are going off in my head!

Where else do you have to display your name?

Anonymity is important in the US as there are so many unscrupulous people who would use or abuse our ID and address. It has to be constantly protected which is why so many people own personal shredders.

I'm sorry you're having yet another hassle associated with moving.

I don't have to wear a name tag. :) The tags are attached to our storage units in the attic and basement. In other buildings where I've lived they've been identified with the apartment number only, but here they have little tags made for everyone.

Every building, or at least every building I've lived in and visited, has a list of the residents in the hall, where they list the apartment number and the last name of the resident/s, sometimes also the first letter of the first name. In most buildings the name of the resident is also on the door and/or on the mail slot or mail box. In my building they engrave cute plaques but the most common method is to have the name on the mail slot with removable individual letters. My building also has a communal sauna and everybody's sauna slot is identified by last name, the same goes to the laundry reservations. So there are a few places where the residents' names show up.

Some buildings have door buzzers and the little walkie-talkie thing outside the building so that people can buzz open the front door for their guests. The buzzers also include the last name and the apartment number, so you don't even have to go in to see who lives there.

There are so many ways to find out someone's address that I don't really see the name being on the door a problem what so ever. Here address or random pieces of mail aren't used to identify people anywhere anyway, so that piece of info alone isn't enough for identity theft.

SSN. Well. Sadly there are still ways to abuse the SSN here, but luckily the possibilities are becoming fewer. Just providing your name, address and SSN isn't that often accepted as a means of identification anymore. The requirement to provide stronger identification more and more commonly of course leads to some other problems in the society from the equality point of view, because not everyone has access to those stronger methods of identification.

Even though anonymity is appreciated and identity thefts are a problem here the same as everywhere, I really don't see an issue with the names being out in the open. Besides in some ways we are a very open society. Like everybody's tax records are public for absolutely everyone. Compared to that someone knowing where you live is hardly a big deal. :D

It is pretty much the same here. No sauna slots for most of us though.
Lately, most apartement buildings have mail boxes in the foyer. Some of those have numbers on the doors instead of the name, but most still display what floor you are on, for visitors.
People who live in one family houses usually have their bame on the mail box out by the door or by the driveway.
There are several ”phone book services” online, where you can find adress, phone number, ssn, what car people own, what businesses they own/chair etc for almost anyone older than 16. A lot of our information is public record.
On the other hand, you need ID or virtual ID for most anything you want to do.

An ex from another country once wanted to joke when he sent a package with some books for me and put Mrs Iris Thenboyfriendssurname as reciever.
It was a two week fight with the post office. They did not want to understand that boyfriend did not have a wife, that the only Mrs with that surname would be his mother who doesn’t share a first name with me, nor did they want to understand the concept of humor when dealing with the Royal Postal Services.

Yup, it's the same here, although SSN is not open knowledge. If you want to track down someone's life, it's very easy.

There is some traction recently about making SSNs public just to stop businesses from using it as an identifier, because that's really not safe at all.

Well, now you're going to have to explain "sauna slot" and "laundry reservations".
If you slip the building manager a few Euros will he give you a better reservation?

Some random person I'd never heard of sent me an email a couple of days ago. And it turns out, she's a model. I feel kind of bad I've never heard of her and didn't recognize her even when she sent me some lingerie pics.

Well, it turned out she was in town for a photo shoot of some sort. (I really can't imagine what since we aren't exactly a fashion mecca down here.) And she found my email on some dating site that I've never heard of. And I sounded like her ideal date.

I'm gettin' kind of worried, 'cause apparently some jackass is out there wooing pretty young things (this gal was nineteen) using my good name... er, okay, my name anyway. So, I straightened her out that I'm not on any dating sites, and never have been. (Lit doesn't count.)

Well, this gal didn't seem to care that I wasn't the guy she thought she was getting. She still wanted to meet.

At first, she said something about going dancing at the club. I told her I use a cane to get around outside my home.

Then, she wanted to have dinner somewhere. I told her that since I don't have any teeth, I have made it a point not to eat around anybody since even before my Parkinson's made it an issue where I have to be careful swallowing so I don't choke.

Well, this poor little gal was really desperate for some company or something, 'cause then she wanted to get together for drinks. I pointed out that alcohol really doesn't sit too well with my meds.

So, then she wants to go for coffee or something. I pointed out that I haven't been able to drink coffee since 1996 when I went in to the ER for what we thought was a heart attack but turned out I'd drunk so much coffee I'd dissolved my esophageal flap.

Well, then she wanted to know if I'd just come over and fuck her. Or she could come over and I could fuck her.

The thing is, she wanted me to sign on to some site or another that would verify me or some such thing so she would know I was safe before she would tell me where to meet her. Have you ever heard of such a thing? I hadn't.

Only problem was, they wanted a credit card. And I don't have one. Paid 'em all of and burned 'em over a decade ago now. And this place wouldn't take my SNAP card. Not even when I pointed out that I would be eating her out.

Well, she wouldn't even meet me in the most public place I could think of, a little hole in the wall where she could get some coffee and I could get some tea or something... right next to the police station. Nope. Not until I signed on this site I couldn't get on for not having a credit card.

I figured that was that. Missed opportunity and what all. Didn't hear from her again until tonight.

Well, folks, Apparently this lingerie model has two friends, also lingerie models in town for the same photo shoot, over for a slumber party and they were watching a scary movie, it being near Halloween and all, and now they're scared and want to know if I can come over and stay with them tonight. AFTER I sign on to this website and pay sixty-something bucks so they know I'm not an ax murderer or anything.

I told them that I'd be right over...

And appended this pic so they'd recognize me when I got there.

I've been waiting for about an hour now for them to tell me which hotel and their room number, but they hadn't said anything else. Starting to wonder what the hold-up is. :D

(Yes, really. I know it's some scammer catfishing. But, I'm laughing harder than the last "we'd like to talk to you about your car warranty" call when I told 'em, "well, sure. I haven't had a vehicle in over a decade, but you're welcome to talk to me about a warranty for one if I had it. Only, what are you wearing? Whoops. Hang on. Let me get the lotion first..." Wondering if the most likely a guy over there just can't figure out where to go from there.)

The building has a communal sauna. People get a weekly slot (or many if they want and there are free times left) to go to sauna privately. On top of that there’s a public slot when everybody in the building are free to use the sauna. A way to get to know your neighbors. :)

Laundry reservation should be laundry room reservation. You can book the laundry room to do your laundry there. Usually buildings don’t have communal laundry rooms, especially tiny buildings like mine is (17 apartments).

And both reservations are very much first come, first serve. Although in my previous buildings you’ve been able to negotiate with your neighbors about if they’re willing to change their reservations, either as a one time deal or permanently.

We've been getting a rash of "there is a problem with your internet" scam calls. Last one I played painfully slow tech support customer: "which one is the modem? there's a box here with wires going in, is that it?" I managed to get him so angry that he called me a bitch and hung up on me :)
 
Seeing people on the ICTthread getting worked up over some post from a sex bot. 🤣
