Dealing with any account (bank, cell phones, utilities) nowadays makes me feel the same way. What hoops do I jump through next?

One of my daughters was getting an apartment after college for her first big job. The paperwork was astounding and required a co-signer and a huge credit check.
I literally offered to just pre-pay a year rent rather than deal with it. Not an option.
Go through a ridiculous process involving AI and having to explain why I have no rental history (as in, I’ve always owned a house).
Get to marrital status. Say I’m married. Then they wanted all the same info from my wife.
After a moment, I changed my response to say I am widowed.
Worked.
Told my wife & kids on group chat.
Many humorous memorials flowed in from children.
Promptly followed by responses from my wife to things like “Mom, can I pick me up after practice?” whereupon she would reply “Sorry, I’m dead.”
Yes in my case (I’ve never exhumed anyone!) I get frustrated that providing a cert. copy of a death certificate and proof of my identity. . . somehow ISN’T ENOUGH You have to do this form that form wait a few weeks then they want another form good grief.
