it’s really hot these days and sometimes I go out and buy an ice cream
well I’ve been buying quite a few ice creams this past few months
here, there are two major ice cream corporations, Delta and Frikom
and actually buying an ice cream can potentially get you a prize
finally I won something
in my coupon it said “Mobile Phone Jewelry”
hmmm
it must be something silly… wtf is “Mobile Phone Jewelry”??
but since I won it and hey, it’s free I called them to arrange delivery
well the lady at the other end insisted to have my personal ID number
and I was not comfortable giving it to her so I passed on the prize
I gave it to a friend that wanted the coupon
the problem these days is that many people want to have your personal details
the more details they have on you the better they will use it to sell you something or maybe worse
that lady didn’t need my personal ID number
she needed just the coupon number
but she insisted to get it
and they like to send their gifts via snail mail
which means they could also have my home address
why am I so hard on my privacy?
well because everyone is violating it
we’re getting biometric passports, biometric personal id cards, biometric drivers licences
that’s too much
I don’t want a biometric anything…
