Out Of Hand Now....

liam, the only time I've known it is when your buying TV's, and this is because of Licensing. Haven't been asked when buying other goods, if I am in the future I'll refuse to give it to them.

Ditto, i'll also have to ask why, if it is for a small item such as a scart lead.

I went to the Source (formerly RadioShack) a few days ago to return an audio adapter that didn't work properly. They asked for all that info so I started to give them the fake name I always use and the clerk said, "never mind, we have it all on record"...

Point is if you use a fake name keep using the same one so it'll save time the next time you use it. I've probably got a worldwide profile for that non-existent person by now LOL.

Gives me an idea, Fink.....

I have been thinking about the idea of trying to get everyone to use the same fake information. I came up with this one...and if we spread it around...we might end up with one those Internet phenomenon things that end up in Wiki..... :D

Had to get the Virtual Doctor plug in there..... :cool:

Virgil Doctor
14 Privacy Street
Stopit, OK 11111

Phone: 555-1212

Pretty easy to remember.....the name is essentially Virtual Doctor, Address is read as "One for Privacy" street...located in Stop it, OK? The zip is fake...

The phone number is directory assistance...or...Information.

I will have to go by Virginia or they might get suspicious :D

Ridiculous stuff we are asked to give out. I have my first time for it to occur---yet. And I just made a purchase in Staples Saturday evening. But wait a minute, I used my charge card. Could that be the reason why no questions? I don't like being discriminated against either. Just "ask me" and chances are that I'll tell you---something at least.
CB, if you gotta use a fictitious name, Virginia is as good as any ;) They won't know anyway.
BTW, I wish we could have Red Skelton give us an answer to use for them!!!

Just imagine what Red could come up with :D

Oh why not...... :D Let's all use Clem Kadiddlehopper.

Simple answer: buy everything on a credit card. I love watchin all the rigmarole they go through fo $5.78.
Advantages when you pay up the card balance at the end of the month:
No stupid questions
30 days free credit
Detailed record of where every penny goes if you want it.

I don't do credit cards anymore ..... they are the work of the devil :D

Couldn't have said it better x71s8zTN. I do not carry a balance at month's end so it is like an interest free charge card----and for free.

Thanks lgbpop. Clem Kadiddlehopper it is then!!! AND, we can use the address furnished by maxximilian.
