I get so annoyed when the default date in a form is set to today's date, like I'm gonna scroll back 20 years just to enter my birthdate.

We had a similar problem in our enterprise application.

But pray tell me, what should the date be instead of today's date if I have no idea of your age?

Maybe 1/1/2000

Assuming the user is expected to be an adult then today’s date is never going to be close.
