This actually took place last month--
I never really had a Jeff Foxworthy moment "You might be a redneck if", but today l had a "You might be an old geezer" experience.
I needed to get lab done at a place l had never been before and l happened to know the receptionist. She was fantastic at taking my card and explaining what l needed to do. She then handed me two forms that needed to be filled out. The first one was very simple, the privacy act one. She saw that l was struggling to see what the blanks were and told me print your name, sign it and date it.
As l finished filling it out l saw the second form had lots of questions and l told her l had better go get my glasses from the car. She chuckled as l hurried off to get them. When l came back and began looking over the questions l was REALLY glad l had gotten my glasses and didn't require her help to fill in the blanks.
I had never been asked some of these questions before and l'm not completely sure l answered them correctly.
Question one: Sex at birth. What?
Another question: Sexual preference. OMG! One of the boxes for that one was: Don't want to reveal. l thought about checking that but figured that might put me on some watch list.
I don't want to mention some of the other questions, but the receptionist knew l was caught off guard. She had one of those sighs "l know". Transgender questions l could only guess at because of Bruce-Caitlyn coverage on tv.
Before l get caught off guard again filling out a questionaire l'm going to Goggle "Correct application answers for Old Geezers".
