If it is someplace where I just want to get finished and don't want to make a fuss, I just put in any random number in the SS format:<BR/><BR/>123-45-6789<BR/><BR/>I don't make it that obvious, of course, but mix the numbers up a bit. While there is a chance that I will accidentally choose a real SS number, it won't match my name and no harm is done.<BR/><BR/>I had to do this a couple weeks ago when our dog needed a vet while we were traveling. Since I knew we wouldn't be regularly visiting that vet, it wasn't worth the time to educate the (rather rude) receptionist about the inappropriateness of asking for a social security number for animal health care!Louisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.com
