I Won Something

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…
