Chat 1

Employee 1: Hi, admin.

Employee 1: I forgot my password. Can you reset it for me? I’ve raised a ticket too.

IT admin: *sigh*

Chat 2

Employee 2: Hello, admin. Can you unlock my account? I’ve raised a ticket too.

IT admin: How many times did you enter the password knowing it was wrong?

Employee 2: *awkward silence*
