Use the same date for websites, etc that have no real need for my actual birth date.
I do similar. I use a consistent not-my-real phone number too.
It's just easier to comply with fake information. And I get a last-laugh sort of kick out of it instead of getting annoyed.
Now my phone number, address, SS#, etc. is a different story. I rarely give my real phone number out, mainly because I don't want to be bothered with annoying phone calls. Birthday, what are they going to do with that information? I fully understand those who don't feel it necessary and refuse to do it, but there are probably a billion people with the same birthday as me. If it gets me out of line quicker for them to know my birthday, so be it.
