It's Mrs. BIJ that is more paranoid about getting the my number cards after hearing about all the potential for abuse of banking info and sagi, etc. on the boobtube.
Are you talking about the full-fledged, optional, laminated photo ID card that you have to apply for? Or do you mean you still don't even have the original notification card that everybody gets?
If the former, I am shocked... is anybody claiming they are required? I thought that was not supposed to happen. If the latter, I am also shocked... I thought the government had successfully mailed these all out by now.
Option #1, I just have the notification card. The missus wants to hold off on getting anything official with photos etc. that could potentially be used for nefarious purposes.
The bank lady wanted to know my number, so I just told her I didn't have one yet. She gave me a hard time, but finally said alright, but you have to get one for the next time, and that was that.
