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 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 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!!!!!! SH1T!

I apologize, I'm really pissed off this morning. Between you an' me, I've

had enough of this bullsh1t! You send the application to my house, then you

ask me for my fokkin' address. What is going on? You have a gang of

Neanderthal assholes workin' there! Look at my damn picture. Do I look

like Bin Laden? I don't want to dig up Yasser Arafat, for sh1t 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 sh1t 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

fokkin' 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 to

damn easy and maybe makes sense. You'd rather have us running all over

the fokkin' place like chickens with our heads cut off, then find some

asshole to confirm that it's really me on the damn picture - you know,

the one where we're not allowed to smile?! (bureaucratic fokkin' 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 yingyang.. 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 !

Sincerely,

You Sure In The Hell Should Know Who.

AMEN!!!

LOL thats just too damn true

and g'mornin' Fife

mornin giggle and whats this about me runnin that poor wee girl outta town?

It's there 24/7.... just most times I fight the urge.. gnaw my tongue and sit on my hands...

You bring it out in me

I truly hate the thoughts of dragging my ass into work. Can ya load it into a wheel barrel and help me out?

sorry hun just about to force myself to go do some

Well I'm off like a new brides panties!!!

Have a great day dear

I agree. They sent my passport back with my name mispelled and I had to get a new set of pictures at my own cost and resubmit the passport on my own time at my own cost. All because they made a mistake. And it was on a passport renewal which means the computer scanned in the passport and the form had my name already typed in and somehow they managed to clear the field and type it in improperly. I think the government likes torturing us. A government of the people, by the people, for the people, my ass.

We're making peace talk with Cuba while North Korea is threatening Nuclear war. We can't stop it while its small because we purposely spread ourselves thin over a war on an abstract concept, "terrorism." The only other war on an abstract concept was also put up under the same political regieme, the highly expensive war on drugs, which has proven to drain the US economy and the US Military budgets. We're heading into some big ****. But I want to know why these wars on abstract concepts which have proven to be complete failures in every way coincidentally spread us thin while we make peace talk with an island strategic as a missile launch site after so many years of silence from peace talks. Castro and his mentality are still very much so dominant important forces that seem to control the government of Cuba. It sounds like the same rigged setups as the last two world wars which came at the same economical hard times. Only the rich get richer and the poor go off to die. I wonder how big of a war we will have to see before we realize that governments cannot be run by select few individuals. More individuals must be in charge of overseeing important decisions. It's either now or never.

Teeheeheeheeheehee!
Thanks for today's RANT!!!

I had a NIGHTMARE experience with Social Security.

Everybody gets a letter/statement of benefits from them every year. I didn't pay much attention to it and just set them aside because it's gonna be a long time before I see any.

Well I happened to look at one, and they had my FRIGGIN name spelled wrong!

I still had my original SS Card and it was correctly spelled.
They explained that when they computerized the records, they made a typo.

Took me 3 trips to the SS OFFICE and a lot of aggravation to get that fixed.

And it was their FRIGGIN ERROR!!

oh yea...I soooo like this fellow...

I had to fill out forms once 'cuz I had a stoke in '91 and started to have seizures,they asked me what days do I have seizures,and at what time,when I told them that I didn't know,they rejected my claim,go figure

I know the feeling. Took me 4 years to be approved 4 social security benefits. When the judge asked why I wasn't there, my attorney informs him i'm in the state hospital under court order. Instantly approved for benefits......dumbasses.
