UMMMMMM WTF?!

If I wanted to steal my own identity today, I totally could have. I needed a direct deposit form from my bank, and since I had enough energy to roll out of the bed, I thought I should go get it since I need it by Monday.I sat down at the desk closest to the door, the first empty seat I saw and told the lady what I needed. She asked me my name, I told her, she asked me how to spell it. So I told her, and she typed it in, next thing I know, she gets up, goes to the printer, walks back and hands me the paper I requested.

The paper has all of my identifying information on it, SS number, checking and savings numbers, dob, address. All I thought to myself, which slipped out of my mouth while I was thinking it was "Oh wow!!" WTF!?! All I had to say my name, and I got all of my information, didn't have to show ID or give any sort of identifying information. Damn, if I knew it were that easy, I would have asked for someone else's info, someone with actual money in the bank!!
