When I obtained utilities for my house, none of them required my SSN. The water company asked, but I declined, so they asked for a fax of my DL (which I could have probably photoshopped, but didn't).
Just because people ask for something, doesn't mean you have to give it to them. I leave fields blank all the time on different (paper) forms (including when they ask for SSN), virtually no one hassles me.
