Insane Background Checks

Shdwmage

Greetings!

I wanted to know what is the worst background check you've ever had to endure?
For a job I recently interviewed for I had to fill out a 52 page background check. They wanted every place I had ever lived since I was 8, every place I ever worked, an autobiography, a detailed description of my interactions with the police, to know all of my bank accounts, any bills I was past due on and why, references, every employer I ever worked for, my transcripts from every school I ever attended and a list of those schools, why I wanted to work for the agency, references, and some other stuff I am forgetting. The whole thing had to be hand written and is to be graded on spelling, grammar, and neatness of writing. To top that all off I had to be electronically fingerprinted.

This is obviously a position with a governmental agency, but still. I feel like I was abducted by aliens and probed a few times. It took almost a week to completely fill out.

Does any one else have similar experiences?
