Default This man shows us what's wrong with society these days.

This letter is a thing of beauty (even if the language is a bit rough)..
.You definitely feel the guy's pain! 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 cable t.v. 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 ****in' address.

What is going on? You have a gang of Neanderthal *******s workin' there! Look at my damn picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? I don't want to dig up Yasser Arafat, for **** 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 **** 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 ****in' 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 ****in' place like chickens with our heads cut off, then find some ******* to confirm that it's really me on the damn picture - you know,the one where we're not allowed to smile?! (bureaucratic ****in' 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 vingyang ........ 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.

....................And we want them to run our health care?!?

Perhaps this is the time to remove the censor filter...*giggles*

But in all seriousness... it is saddening indeed.

LOL! ***** makes everything so much fun!

Other than that, it's pretty ***** up. Luckily it's nothing like that here in Sweden.

Edit: Nice with the censoring btw haha

this actually seems very similar to what happened to one guy on youtube i subscribe to and it's very much in his style of writing (or speaking)

That's some writing. Felt a lot like him when I finished University. Bureaucracy sucks!
