Passport anyone

Post by Pepi »

THIS IS PRICELESS: ACTUAL PASSPORT APPLICATION LETTER SENT BACK TO
STATE DEPARTMENT

Dear Mrs. Ms. Or Sir: I'm in the process of renewing my passport
and still cannot believe this. How is it that Radio Shack has my
address and telephone number and knows that I bought a cable TV
from them in 1987 (23 years ago), and yet, the Federal Government
is still asking me where I was born and on what date? For Christ's
sake, do you guys do this by hand? Ever heard of computers?
My birth date you have in my social security file. It's on EVERY
income tax form I've filed for the past 30 years. It's on my
Medicare health insurance card and my driver's license, it's on the
last eight damned passports I've had, it's on every stupid customs
declaration form I've had to fill out before being allowed off the
plane for the last 30 years. And it's on all those census forms
that we have to do at election times. Would somebody please take
note, once and for all, that my mother's name is Maryanne, my
father's name is Robert and I'm reasonably confident that neither
name is likely to change between now and when I die?

Between you and me, I've had enough of this bureaucratic bullshit!
You send the application to my house, then you ask me for my
#*&#%*& address. What is going on? You must have a gang of
bureaucratic Neanderthal morons working there! Look at my damn
picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? And "No," I don't want to dig up
Yasser Arafat, for shit sakes. I just want to go and park my ass on
a sandy beach. And would someone please tell me, why would you give
a damn whether I plan on visiting a farm in the next 15 days? If I
ever got the urge to do something weird to a chicken or a goat,
believe you me, I'd sure as hell not want to
tell anyone!

Well, I have to go now because I have to go to the other end of the
city and get another #*@&#^@*@& copy of my birth certificate to the
tune of $100 Would it be so difficult to have all the services in
the same area so I could get a new passport the same day? Nooooo,
that would require planning and organization. And it would be too
logical for the @&^*^%@% government. You’d rather have us running
all over the place like chickens with our heads cut off. Then, we
have to find some asshole to confirm that it's really me in the
damn picture - you know, the one where we're not allowed to
smile...Hey, you know why we can't smile?
We’re totally pissed off!

Signed- An Irate Citizen.

P.S. Remember what I wrote about getting someone to confirm that
the picture is me? Well, my family has been in the United States of
America since 1776. I have served in the military for something
over 35 years and have had security clearances up the ying yang.
However, I have to get someone important to verify who I am - you
know, someone like my doctor....WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN INDIA!
And you assholes want to run our health care system?????

That info is not asked because they don't know it already, it's to make sure the person applying for the passport is actually you.

It always amazes me when these guys want to tell "their side of the story"

News flash: your product IS your side of the story. It tells everything we need to know.
