Hello

I absolutely live for filling in the Maiden Name box.

Does the above sentence mean that I absolutely consider filling in the Maiden Name box to be more important than anything else or I absolutely regard filling in the Maiden Name box as more important than anything else?

or

Does it mean that I do nothing but think about filling in the Maiden Name box?

Thank you.

I am sure it is meant humorously. (Like when I say I live for likes.)
 
What does it mean?
 
It means he gets a lot of satisfaction from filling in the maiden name box.
 
Jacek, nobody really gets a lot of enjoyment out of filling in forms.

Hello, Jacek:

When I go to the pharmacy to pick up some medicine, the pharmacist always asks customers to orally verify their ages.

I absolutely live for announcing in a loud voice the date of my birth.

Upon hearing my answer, other customers look at me, either thinking that I look too young to be that old or that I look too old to be that young.

It's great fun.
 
It is still unusual for a married man in the UK to have a maiden name. That person derives some pleasure from doing the unexpected.
 
Or a single man.
 
Never thought about the matter of maiden name before, being an elderly male. But thank you Jacek1. Henceforth my maiden name on all forms shall be Zaphod Beeblebrox!

Probability four thousand, two hundred and twenty-eight to one ... and falling. ;-)
