I do like it when submissions include the creator of the wtf, unless the specific kind of err is really spectacular and then it might be noteworthy regardless. This week we received a few who did tell us something about the responsible party. That being said, on with the party!"

An anonymous contributor shared with us this "Important order info from Ubbad HBG-ICS I", saying "I checked on Amazon but can't find order #{randnum(3)}-{randnum(6)}. This is worrisome though, because my credit card does end in **{randnum(4)}." Wild, so does mine!


It's About Time

Usually I have to save up a few weeks' worth of error'ds to get five of a kind, but this week we got a rash of funky date entries! I guess we were due.

First up Tim R. reminding us here that "Dates are difficult! ...but when the entire purpose of your web site is to convert the time to different time zones, I'm not inclined to give you much slack for being one hour out."

Dr. Doom...scroller titled this one "Scrollbar-ception". Said he "Screenshot of the TikTok webpage (i.e. in a desktop browser) while not logged in. I swear this wasn't a NSFW TikTok video, instead it was a montage of some live show from some singer. Anyway... Back on the topic of the actual publishable snarky comments: Social media is known for doom-scrolling. Well, these are scrollbars of doom. Or doom-scrollbars."

Matias shared a standard sort of flubstituted fail-merge error'd; not really egregious, just routine. "I am {{emotionType}} to hear this."

We have for you this week a full set of the Error'd we most love to hate: the perverse password policy.

An anonymous reader drops this, with little to say except to note "Speciaal passwords". Evidently they supplied a password which satisfied each of the five green critera, but still it was rejected. It would be nice to know where this offense originated,
