Medical establishments are notorious for asking for lots of information they do not need.

For example, every hospital and office I've been to asks for my Social Security Number, yet none have said anything when I leave it blank.

I found myself in front of the hospital representative and they started asking for marital status and religion. I had to shake it off and say, "What? I'm not giving you that information"

(I can see for if you die / etc but still)
