Welcome to this episode.

Anna Whitehouse, the founder of Motherpucker,

and I'm joined by Polly Hazerwood in the House. Well, hello. Hello, friends. I want to talk about rage in

cues. I was banking yesterday, olden days banking, where you actually go into the bank. And there

were two cues, and I picked the wrong cue. And it's a bit like, you know, when you pick that queue in maybe John Lewis or something, and there's somebody returning 5,000 items, but you don't see it until you're in the wrong queue. And then I jumped to the other queue, even though it was longer longer thinking that would go quicker and it didn't

and I'd made the mistake and I couldn't go back so but and the rage oh the rage I can imagine was

escalating I think it's one of those things isn't it I mean my go-to emotion really these days is

rage it's nothing but anger and rage and i can't regulate my emotions so

uh it all just sort of i vouch for that you can't you totally the old lift explosion uh well

am i the problem the thing is it doesn't come out that often but when it comes out my god get out

the way like it doesn't matter who you are get out the way. Like, it doesn't matter who you are, get out the way. And so I think I'd had a series, and for me, it's always, like, technological, like, admin, you know? So I've been locked out of all my banking apps. But I don't know how I've been locked out, because I never used the banking apps. So, how have I been locked out? Like it's just, you know, forget the passwords to everything.

I've got something like 37,000 emails on my old account and they've shut it down. My God,

the whole password and username, it's like, is incorrect. At least tell me which one. At least tell me if it's password that's incorrect or username. It's like is incorrect. At least tell me which one.

At least tell me if it's password that's incorrect or username.

Otherwise, I'm going to go through a Rubik's Cube of anxiety and stress trying to decode,

which batshit password or username that I've mangled up in a very tired, panicked situation

that I can no longer remember.

And the worst thing is you can't, I mean, they tell you can't use the same password for all your... Oh my God. And then you need to use a special character. Why not? You have to use a special character in some of them. And you're like, I'm not going to remember put an exclamation mark at the end of my usual password. Well, this is it. So I'm locked out.

I'm locked out of everything.

And I was on, anyway, all of that was going on.

And then I was on the phone the other day.
