I have this little game I like to play, where I don't give out my social security number to big companies* who insist they need it.
It took me about a half hour of persisitent refusing,
but by the time I talked to the supervisor's supervisor,
they admitted they didn't really need my number, gave me a code to use next time, gave me a $40 credit, and did the thing I'd called and asked them to do.
I did get one memo typed up and turned into the court before it closed.
The only other thing I got done yet today was playing phone tag with a lawyer.
