ATTN, Uniqlo customer service employees: If someone tries to return a shirt claiming an error in the printed computer code, decline the request and reply, "A real script kiddie would've spotted that error before buying."

A real hacker, maybe. A script kiddie is by definition someone who wouldn't notice.

  • I made the slightly alarming realization yesterday that some script kiddies are old enough to have grandkids by now.

    • I wonder how many of them graduated to the level of hacker witches / hacker wizards, and how many of them are nothing but script grannies / script grampses even today.
