HP-related Embarrassment of the Day
Preface: I share an office with a guy who has zero knowledge of Harry Potter.
:P
Story: I called to close an old bank account that I'd opened a few years ago. The teller asked my OWN custom security question that I created: "What is the Hogsmeade candy?" I was completely stumped. What the hell could I have chosen? Why would I create a question that opens the door to the whole wide world of magical confections without more specific guidance?
I started rattling off random candies that came to mind: Fizzing Whizbees? (No.) Chocolate Frog? (No.) Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans? (No.) Cauldron Cakes? (No.)
Meanwhile, my face is turning redder and redder. My office mate must think I'm crazy. Since he can't hear the other end of the conversation, it's just me rattling off really ridiculous-sounding phrases. [Ton-Tongue Toffee? (No.) Cockroach Cluster? (No.) Drooble's Best Blowing Gum? (No.)]
Finally, we securely establish my identity through other means (address, birthday, SSN).
I ask her what was the answer to my question: Honeydukes. Turns out, I'm an idiot and didn't completely type in my question when I created it. My question should have been "What is the Hogsmeade candy shop?"
