so what's the deal with online security questions?


i'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if Jerry Seinfeld was still doing standup (you know...like brick wall//microphone//spotlight standup) that one of the topics he would cover would be online security questions.

what's the deal with online security questions?

they have gotten to be incredibly ridiculous. how can you remember some of this shit? and by security question 4, you have to start answering questions about 'favorites' which, honestly for me, they change often.

favorite food? today i super like popcorn.

the next time i log in, i may really be liking tomato basil soup.

so, are you asking me "what's your favorite food today?" or are you asking "what's your favorite food?"

well, i guess that answer then could be breakfast for dinner.

I know some of these questions are permanent - mostly firsts. First album you bought (Soundgarden - Superunknown). First School (Primary ?? how the fuck to I answer this?)
The list goes on and on ending with some misspellings and quick guesses because when you are signing up for something that requires security questions, most of the time you aren't really focusing on what you are writing...you just want IN.

"yeah yeah yeah...just get to my W2 form come ON!"

Some security questions I have thought of for my, someday, secure site are;
Who was your first kiss?
What color is your favorite pair of underpants?
How often do you wash your sheets?
Creamy or Crunchy?
Favorite period food?
Have you ever peed in a pool?
What was your mom's first job out of high school?
When did your dad smoke pot for the first time?
What album art were you most mesmerized with when you were 6?
