World-class accident:

I had similar many years ago.

My first reply was

Nickname: n/a

That's funny because I was thinking your username would be the best answer for nickname 🙂

I suppose that nickname could be useful if you use a different form of address from your given name. Eg, you're Johnathan but prefer John or Jon.

I'd be tempted to put something like "Master" or "Lord" if it's something they're going to actually use. "Have you seen Dave?" "Yeah, he's in office #3 with Lord Smith."

Is there a single answer that works for all the questions? I’m sure someone here could think of one.

Your Mum.

put a photo up of you aged 25 then leave it up there

I’ve recently started working for a Swedish company- a lot of the photos for HQ people that come up on Teams follow this- the reality is a bit different when they join the call.

Could always ask how this info fits in with GDPR?

Or say that a combination of these common questions are used for various passwords/ account security questions so you can not divulge the info

That's a good point actually. GDPR perhaps not so much, but it's the sort of thing I'd be looking for as a starting point for social engineering or a password spray attack. If they're intending putting that sort of info in public, that's downright reckless.

Best film- choose something nondescript like “lady & the tramp” translate to french/Italian/Spanish and choose the best sounding one. People will think it’s some trendy art house film

If it helps you OP, no one reads those things. The recipients are just as disinterested as you the author.

No one will remember or mock you if you are honest. No one will admire your wit if you go with the sarcastic response. That's the true nature of the modern workplace where these things are requested. Do what you need to do for an easier life.

Some right pretentious bollocks on here.
Just fill it in with bullshit. It's meaningless.

Ok, I find this a little cringy - as you seem to as well. But I think there is an easy way:

Nickname: Don’t have one or want one - my name suits me.
Best Film: Just choose one everyone knows like Star Wars or ET etc.
Favourite Food: Surely nearly everyone has that! If not just choose one.
Hobbies: Cycling.
A little bit about yourself you would like to share: Related to above - why you love cycling.

Job done!
