Two random acts of #kindness made my day. A total stranger rushed behind my car to make sure I was clear when backing up.

So much for #Meta Verified “Enhanced Support.” I’ve been waiting for days to connect with a live agent.🤷‍♀️ (Posting in my personal capacity.)

It’s been two days since #Meta locked me out of my #Facebook account after forcing me to use their “advanced protection.” I’ve received no codes. No human rep. is reachable and AI bot incapable of troubleshooting. 🚨🔔‼️ #MarkZuckerberg
