Alternate strategy

Someone asks my age and I think it none of their business, I just lie outrageously.

For example someone is collecting demographics which they hope to sell on or use to sell me unsolicited goods or services, depending on my mood I may answer with a number over 90 or sometimes a number under 10.

You can't do that if your age is part of the contract - like insurance, but so many folk just fill it in and give away part of their profile.

Simple answer here for Mr. Paranoid is don't buy the unsolicited goods and services should this actually occur...but then again maybe he is that much sharper than the rest of us...lol Happy Halloween

I resemble that remark.
Paranoid?
Me?
Just because you think they are all out to get you, it doesn't mean they are not.

The point of putting a ridiculous age in for spurious questioners is that they will realise that it is deliberately wrong. Does anyone have too little junk mail? or too much sense of humour?
Sharpness? I may cut myself on my tongue some time

My age is clearly displayed in my M5board profile for anyone who thinks that is important.

Just curious, why do you hope for many? I personally hope my M5 is the last car I ever buy that's how much I love it! Plus you have an 03 in Jet Black...in my opinion the best year and color on the best car in the world

Yeah that sounds weird when read but at some point I'll wear it down and move on. I assume the current Ms we all have weren't our first and won't be our last cars. For the overwhelming majority of us anyway. As much as I want to hang on to it now and love it to death something else will be coming down the pike sooner or later. Also hopefully Jet Black / Black .
