I detest security questions. One time, a bank had a set of 8 security questions that I was supposed to choose from to be my security question. The problem was that none of them applied to me in a singular way.<p>* What street did I grow up on? Several of them, thank you for reminding me of my transient childhood.
* Who was your childhood hero? I didn't have one. It never occurred to me to have one.
* Some random genealogy question? Thanks for reminding me of my lack of familial knowledge
* What was your first vehicle? I have no idea, because we went through several and I'm not a "car guy".
* Name of your childhood best friend? That depends on where I was living and what portion of my childhood that you are talking about.
* Favorite song? Don't have one.
* Favorite food? I'm fat. I have a lot of them.
* Democrat or Republican? Are you doing data mining on my answers?
Totally agree. Also, if someone asked me "What street did you grow up on?" or "What was your first pet's name?" I would probably just answer it. Neither of those are terribly threatening on the face of it.
