WHAT IS YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER?

I hate being asked for my social security number. What's that all about? I ordered an ice coffee from Dunkin Donuts yesterday and the girl at the window said I needed to give my social security number before she could give me the coffee. (I'm kidding.) You get my point.

EVERYBODY WANTS OUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER!

At a time when IDENTITY THEFT is RAMPANT, companies are insisting it's necessary for them to have our social security numbers. For example, if you want to open a business account at Staples you have to fill out a form that includes your name, address, telephone number, and social security number. That's HILARIOUS! So let me get this straight- I'm going to write down all of my personal information ON A PIECE OF PAPER, (a "business form") and then hand it over to some weird, shady-looking employee who just started working there and hope that when I leave the store he doesn't make a photocopy of my info and sell it to the guy standing outside in the parking lot.

The next time someone asks me for my social security number, I'm going to ask them to give me theirs. Then I'm going to ask for their credit card number, birth certificate, favorite food, marital status, and penis size. Let's see how they like it.
