The CHA-VOSE theory

This is a funny incident happened in my previous company where I was working as a test engineer. There is a process we need to follow where the password for the application will be changed every day and this will be conveyed in hand-off call at the start and the end of the day. So, it was changed to Chaos123 by the onsite folks. At the hand off call in the evening, we had to give the password to the onsite manager. Incidentally, My ex-project lead is probably one of the most incompetent person that I’ve ever met was handing off the information to the Onsite managers. As usual, the sentence starts and ends with “Like” and when it came to password, he said its CHA-VOSE123. I was baffled. :-) My manager said “what’s that again? “ , “Its CHA-VOSE123”, “Can you spell that please? “ .“Like its C-H-A-O-S-123 Like, With Big C like”, “Ohhh Chaos 123, allrighty then, have a wonderful evening”. I didn’t know what to say. No wonder My onsite manager spells each word out after that call… Its “I-S-L-A-N-D 123”. I’ve noticed they always keep such passwords from that day on. Wonder what he pronounced ISLAND as :-)
