my life has been comedy hell for the past 48 hours. so this tiktok zoomer used my email address to sign up for a tiktok account. how tiktok allowed them to do this, i have no idea. aren’t real, respectable social media sites supposed to force you to validate the email before it is used? smh. but i noticed this about a week or so ago. i sent tiktok a ticket telling them to take my email off to no avail. okay, so after receiving the 20th tiktok notification in my email i decide to take matters into my own hands. i reset the password on the account and logged in to make it stop.
then, i posted a tiktok telling the user to POST THEIR EMAIL IN THE COMMENTS so I can change the account ownership over to them. sounds simple enough, but it is here that i truly learned the failure of the american education system. the original user and their friend posted hysterically about how they were going to “text tiktok” to get the account back, i’m a hacker, their username only has letters and numbers in it, how did you change the password, etc. i explained, over ten times, simply and nicely, that this person signed up with my email, and i simply need them to read the instructions and post their email so i can change the account ownership.
whoever is raising zoomers have failed. mfers can’t even read anything more complex than a tiktok caption anymore. stop letting these ipads raise your children or i will call copmala harris. this is the living result of politicians defunding public education. anyway. after an hour, i suppose the two and a half braincells they share rubbed together and an email was provided, but the email is already attached to another account!
i realized this absolute child prodigy signs up for tiktok accounts with emails they have no control over and she makes new accounts when she needs to reset the password. she’s in Fr*aking high school and by that age I know yall have to use your email for stuff. wtf. like this is some shit i’d expect my over 70 year old internet savy-less grandmother to do, and not even she does this! Anyway. Maybe I will receive a functional email at some point today. They are probably asleep because they need to wake up early to attend the grade school that is not teaching them how to read. 😎🔫 WAIT NO THEY ARE NOT IT IS THE WEEKEND. 😎🔫
I’m on hour four, and I had to copy/paste instructions on how to register a Gmail multiple times. They seemingly thought I was speaking a different language. But it penetrated their steel-crafted domes after the fifth attempt. I am making progress!
We are on hour 17 and a gmail has been created, but it has yet to be provided. We are almost there. And for those wondering, they didn’t hack my email. They just put a random phrase in the email field then typed @gmail.com when they signed up for the tiktok account, but it just so happened that their strings of words ended up being one of my exact email addresses letter for letter lol. What’s funny is that they actually have a personal email so they know what it is, but this kid and her friend have no conception that an email address is one of the ways social media sites establish ownership, so i had to explain this. They literally create new accounts when they forget their password instead of sending a password reset email. Zoomers are the new boomers, confirmed.
