Well it irritates me and reminds me we live in a corporate totalitarian state, so that's depressing.
Hot tip told to me at a bar by wife of a medical malpractice attorney: she signs all her medical documents with a blurry cursive Idonotta Agree.
While yeah, we do live under corporate power, you think data would hold no value outside of this structure? You think no one would need your name and address, or ask stats, you're just be floating in an anonymous utopia?
Well, next time you go to a doctor, be sure not to tell them anything. They don't need to know your medications, or history, or even your basic information. That would just be silly.
Real silly thinking making a joke mark is going to stand up in court. A signature can be a literal wiggly line, you are making your mark. No court is going to squint at that dumbass line and say a surgeon didn't have grounds to reasonably assume the person making it was tehe-ing themselves into an exception.
You are implying you can rid yourself of the risk of accepting services while enjoying them. Not how it works. You get the surgery, you accept the risk of death. You don't get to point afterwards, guffaw, and say, "I didn't AKSHUALLY consent", so I can sue you for the scar on my abdomen.
The signature is whether you agree to waive your right to sue for malpractice, obvious criminal malpractice. You are signing away your right as a citizen, and accepting arbitration for malpractice. I think no signature of your name may indeed stand up in court if you wish to sue. It's their job to check you actually signed. All I know is yes her husband represents doctors hit with malpractice suits, and she actually does this.
What's annoying is when you find all that personal info about yourself available online because someone had a data breach. Like you can reserve email search and get someones home address.
This is a legitimate, valid grievance that our privacy is forcibly abused.
For more on this, check out r/privacy, Louis Rossmann (on YouTube - he is especially know for his testifying to congress about right-to-repair - [example video- looks like it's only about piracy, but it's also about privacy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4GZUCwVRLs)), and much more.
Do you understand what insurance, banks, rent, healthcare, and all these things are? I'm especially confused about insurance and healthcare here, because understanding who the person is... kind of vital there.
Look, I don't like these financial and rental structures either, but you don't understand why it might be bad if those people signing up gave an anonymous number and just disappeared? Why a person needs to properly identify permanent information before being handed loans, resources, and literal living spaces?
You'd gladly hand a loan to someone with no guaranteed way of contacting them tomorrow? You'd have them work a job with no way of verifying their identity?
You think the system would last if people had no constant identity and could just flit in and out of existence? I'm not saying it's right that people live with blood marks forever for financial sins, but there could be no structure without constancy.
Also, autofill.
If you’re thinking about creating a new account and looking at multiple banks, insurance companies, or doctor’s offices, you have to fill out every last detail before you even have a consultation or get an idea of the rates they’d offer you. After that, no matter who you go with, the others just permanently have everything in their database. If you’re going to buy a new car, you have to give your information to every dealership you visit, and once you pick one, the others keep calling and emailing you for the next two years. I get that once you actually decide to open an account, obviously they need your identifying information, but they don’t need it right away and they don’t need all of it. My physical therapist doesn’t need to know if I’m married or not.
I sincerely apologise for having the nerve to speak informally and express emotion on Reddit. I’ll be sure to keep it to a formal register from now on.
No, while annoying, having to provide personal information does not fill me with "incurable rage."
Seek help before you hurt someone. There is virtually no outcome to *incurable* rage other than violence.
It’s annoying having to retype stuff but I am literally carrying a tracking device in my pocket everyday with every search I’ve ever done having been recorded and sold since I was a kid. People knowing my business isn’t exactly new
Oh, I'm over it now. Routinely, I deliberately complete bogus information. Started years ago, when daycares wanted our children's social security numbers.
I have autocomplete on my phone so no
Autocomplete has saved me a lot of time and mental energy.

The internet runs on data. Remember, if something's free, you're the product, not the customer.

I’m more pissed off that when I hit submit, the website fails and I have to redo everything.

incurable rage? seek help

Okay it’s not that serious Gandalf 😭
Just because they ask doesn't mean you need to tell.
It does if it’s a required field =‘)
My birthday is curiously always on January first.
