Today, my brother changed my Google+ name without asking. He has done this before and I fixed it by just changing it back. Turns out Google has a 3-time limit per year for how many times you can change your name. Now I'm stuck with "Poop" for my YouTube name for a year. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after I made a new Google/YouTube account a couple of weeks ago, I failed to realize that the name I made on YouTube also relates back to my Gmail. I've been sending professional, work-related emails under the name of "Poop McNugget." FML
Today, while I was in the shower, my older brother thought it would be funny to change the language on my phone to Serbo-Croatian. I don't know how and can't change it back. FML
Today, I logged on to my Gmail account and to find that my brother had sent my math teacher a picture of Bigfoot peeing into a urinal. Using my account. FML
Today, I changed my name on YouTube to Fancy Hobo and then sent an email to a well-admired professor. Little did I know my email was linked to YouTube. Yes, Fancy Hobo sent a very professional email about registration for grad school. FML
Today, I was looking after my 9 year-old nephew when I let him play some web games on my MacBook. A few hours later, I found out I'd underestimated his tech skills, as he'd changed all my contacts to "Mr. Spongebob Squarepants." Thanks to iCloud, all contacts on all my devices were changed. FML
Today, my brother changed the password on my laptop so that I can't log into my profile. All my notes for school are on it and finals start on Monday. Guess who can't remember the new password. FML
Today, I just remembered that I changed my Gmail display name to "Rice Ball" out of privacy-paranoia a while back. I've been using this same email to apply to several professional jobs. FML
Today, I was watching TV when my older brother thought it would be funny to rip a bare-assed fart in my face before a shower. I looked up, only to see a brown blob on my glasses. My nickname is now "Shitfaced." FML
Today, I went on Facebook to find that my little brother had messed with my profile. He wrote on my status that I'm a piece of shit, I have no life, and several other nasty and perverted things. Underneath, it said 26 of my friends liked this. I'm new to Facebook. So far I have 26 friends. FML
Today, I found out that Google+ has been automatically uploading my cell phone pictures as I take them. My friends have now seen pictures of me, my penis, and other things too horrifying to talk about. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why don't you change your password so he doesn't know it

Oh, poop! This sucks! Time to get a second account in the meantime.

Agreed. If I was OP, I wouldn't put up with this crap.

OP is honestly an idiot

Why does everyone downvote comments

why does everyone complain about their stupid comments being downvoted

He might not have to get a second account. I'm guessing if he sends an email to support, he can explain the situation and have them change it back to the right name just one more time.

Why didn't OP just change the password so OP'S brother couldn't keep changing the name? I would of changed my password after he did it the first time to stop him from doing it.

my brother changed my YouTube name to "waffle house warrior" when I was in middle school and I was so embarrassed. Now that I'm older I realize it's an awesome name and haven't changed it.

Actually, how about you change your name to something else, and then again, and change it back at the beginning of next year so it can't be changed again?

Automatic login is my first thought, guess this is a YDI since OP didn't take any preventative measures knowing this could happen.
Selene1090 26
That was my first thought
SweetasCandy0609 28
I just said the same thing and even if OP had it on automatic sign in he could of changed the setting so that it didn't keep signing him in without his password and if his brother had his password then he should of changed it, but I guess OP didn't learn after the first two times his brother did it to him.

Could of.

No you still couldn't change the password, even if he was automatically logged in. You have to enter your regular password before changing it. I'm guessing his brother knew the answers to all the security questions, or was at least able to find out the answers.

How is this Google+'s fault?
Masift 21
See what I don't understand is, why the **** is this even a thing? Why can you only change your name 3 times a year? I don't see that logic behind that. **** Google +

Reason #27: Poor security habits. Also doubles as a reason to hate identity theft and being part of a botnet.

What are the first 26 reasons?

Well for one, them shoving it in your face. All you have to do is have a Youtube account or basic Google account and now you're suddenly finding yourself in a social site.

Only 27?

I was in a rush, I didn't find the time to do the math. xD

Well... you know how little brothers can be... assuming he is your little brother, cause if it's the other way around or he is past his 20s and is still into these kind of gags then that's just not good. Anyway, you can go an get a new youtube account or something, no biggy.

How does he get into your account in the first place? Lock your computer when you walk away from it.

Agree #5. Setting up pin numbers to block out people from seeing your stuff is easy. I have to say op deserved it since it happened before and she did nothing to lock it up. Of corse I don't completely know the full story.

I feel like that's probably a real thing but I feel like I shouldn't check if it's a real thing. I'd rather shit this one out.

Change his account names if he has any/if you know the password(s)
extrasnipes 22
Just because his brother was a shitty brother doesn't mean he should do the same.
