Passport Letter

Categories

Dear 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 back in 1987, and yet, the Federal Government is still asking me where I was born and on what date.

For Christ sakes, do you guys do this by hand?  My birth date you have on my social security card, and it is on all the income tax forms I've filed for the past 30 years. It is on my health insurance card, my driver's license, on the last eight damn passports I've had, on all those stupid customs declaration forms I've had to fill out before being allowed off the plane over the last 30 years, and all those insufferable census forms that are done 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'd be absolutely astounded if that ever changed between now and when I die!!!!!!

I apologize, I'm really pissed off this morning. Between you an' me, I've had enough of this bull!  You send the application to my house, then you ask me for my freakin' address.

And would someone please tell me, why would you give a crap 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, 'cause I have to go to the other end of the city and get another freakin' copy of my birth certificate, to the tune of $60.  Would it be so complicated to have all the services in the same spot to assist in the issuance of a new passport the same day??  Nooooo, that'd be too damn easy and maybe makes sense.  You'd rather have us running all over the  place like chickens with our heads cut off, then find some jerk to confirm that it's really me on the damn picture - you know,the one where we're not allowed to smile?!  (bureaucratic morons)  Hey, you know why we can't smile? We're totally pissed off!

Signed,

- An Irate Citizen

(just a letter poking fun.....hope you enjoyed the laugh!)
