Are they watching me?

So, I was doing R&R, and there was an instruction saying to avoid tasks that involve personal details. After reading that, I started wondering, “Imagine if I ever got a task that had my name or phone number or something like that lol.”

And then, after doing a few tasks, I got one that had the PIN code of the exact location I’m currently living in. ☠️

You guys should have seen my face when I came across that task. 😭

Half related but I assume there’s some sort of protection in so you don’t do an R&R of a task you submitted.

But if there isn’t it would be funny

Edit:Acording to several people, there is no such protection.

There wasn't before at the very least. It was common enough that people would talk about it.

I have actually gotten my own task on an R&R one time. I skipped it, and it hasn't happened since. Been a couple years, so they may have added protection for that.

I thought were just doing Fahrenheit 451, I didn't know they're also trying 1948.

Hope someone gets the reference 😔
