Dude at a cafe in Chicago told me his password and I couldn't believe it

Honestly, I was sitting at this coffee shop near Wrigleyville last month working on my laptop. Guy next to me gets a call, and he literally says his email password out loud in front of everyone. It was something like "FluffyBunny123" and I just froze. Ngl, it made me rethink how many people still use super weak passwords in public places like that. Have any of you ever heard someone just blurt out their login info like that?

Wait, was he actually saying "FluffyBunny123" or is that just an example? Because I'm trying to picture a grown man in Chicago casually dropping "FluffyBunny" like it's no big deal, and that's honestly kind of hilarious. But more to the point, what gets me is how comfortable he must have felt to just announce it like that. Did you get the sense he was just careless, or did he seem like one of those people who genuinely thinks nobody would ever try to steal their info? I've met folks like that, and it's a weird mix of naive and trusting. Makes you wonder if he's still using that password today or if some moment of panic finally hit him later.

Oh come on, some people just don't care about that stuff and it actually makes life easier lmao. Maybe the guy figured if someone really wanted his accounts they'd find a way anyway so why stress over a dumb username.
