1212 Main St, City, St (area code) 515 1212 for phone

I gave up trying to explain why I prefer not to have that info, so I just give them obviously bogus info that I can remember. Most people don't even realize what you're telling them. They just robotically enter the numbers. They just want to get on with their day as much as you do, and really don't want to hear your diatribe about big brother tracking blah blah, can you hurry up the line is backing up.

Yup. When I was signing up at MEC I gave the clerk a fake number but accidentally included both the area codes for my city as the first six digits: “Whoa that’s weird, never seen them together like that before.” It’s easy for me to remember now at least.
