well, it wasnt the language that bothered me so much (hearing a 70 year old lady say 'fucking' is pretty funny). what got me was the idea she had that if i had her zipcode, i could magically determine her whole address and add her to our mailing list.

i have no problem sharing my zipcode. im sure they use it for demographics and if used properly, could be good for me insofar as it can lead to improved selections in things im interested in. i despise when im asked for my phone number, however. in that case i politely refuse or simply rattle off the first 10 numbers that pop in my head.
