I Think This Man's A Tad Irritated.....

[Tyger]

I think He's Unhappy.....AN ACTUAL LETTER TO THE PASSPORT OFFICE

Dear Sirs;

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 t.v. cable from them back in 1997, 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 goddamn passports I've had, on

all those stupid customs declaration forms I've had to fill out before

being allowed off the planes 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 BS! You send the application to my

house, then you ask me for my [bleeping] address. What is going on?

You have a gang of Neanderthals workin' there! Look at my damn

picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? I don't want to dig up Yasser

Arafat, for shit sakes. I just want to go and park my butt 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, 'cause I have to go to the other end of the city

and get another [bleeping] 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 [bleeping] place like chickens with our

heads cut off, then find some asshole to confirm that it's really me on

the picture - you know, the one where we're not allowed to smile?!

(bleep-bleeping morons). Hey, you know why we can't smile? We're totally pissed off!

Signed ? An Irate @#$% @<$ Citizen.

P.S. Remember what I said above about the picture and getting someone to confirm that it's me? Well, my family has been in this country since 1776 .. I have served in the military for something over 30 years and have had security clearances up the ying yang.

Now I have to get someone 'impo
