How did I become a disconnect, you ask? I wanted to take part in the pet photo Friday meme, but I didn't have a pet, so I borrowed a photo from somebody else. The sniffer detected that it wasn't my photo, cross-referenced to make sure the buried GPS info was from a place that I'd never been, and flagged me. The human didn't process my flag and send me a snail mail warning until three weeks later, after I'd posted another couple of photos of the dog that wasn't mine, and there you go. Three strikes and you're out. Now I'm a disconnect. They flagged my ID and put the crossed signal on it and everything. Internet cafes have to check ID, so I'm out. If I buy a computer legally, they have to disable the connect after they see my ID. I lost my job, which depended on the connect (whose doesn't, these days!). Just like that, my comfortable life went poof! All because of a stupid pet photo meme.

Story Potential: Medium.
Notes: Eh. Awful, too probable, but not story-fodder for my brain.
