Our first user at one company was Richard Test. He had user ID 1001. Well-meaning people deactivated his account several times over the years because it looked fake to them.
Sorry, Richard. I hope you were more amused than annoyed.
I’ve told your story about Mr. Test to several people over the years but I’ve never been able to remember where I got it from. I’m glad to have finally found it again, and thank you for the anecdote!
One of the audio checks I've heard over the many conventions I've volunteered for is "Ice Ice Icicles, Cue Cue Cuticles, Test... Test... Testicles" with the final word pronounced like Hercules.
