The Retards Running the Show at the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana Can Fucking Blow Me

[Dan Druff]

I have also had bad experiences with government offices. I think we all have.

However, that's one situation where I keep my mouth shut, because you can get arrested so easily and charged with bullshit, so I don't risk it.

Same with airplanes. If I'm onboard an airplane, I make sure never to get in any serious arguments with the staff, even if I'm totally in the right, because I don't want the FBI waiting for me on the ground and arresting me.

In 2013, at the US/Canada border between Alberta and Montana, a woman with the US border patrol first yelled nastily at me for not pulling up to the exact spot she wanted, and then rifled through my stuff in the trunk very roughly. I wanted to yell, "Hey bitch, be careful with my stuff and show the taxpayers a little respect", but I kept my mouth shut because I knew she had the power to pull me out and interrogate me for 8 hours.

The reason I'm bringing this up is because you always seem to escalate matters when you aren't treated well by cops/government employees/etc. Why do you do this? Do you not realize that it's more trouble than it's worth?

How often do you need to have a stern conversation with the staff of anywhere?

Probably too often. Jew life is entirely too stressful iyam

I don't that often.

Some businesses I visit/use all the time and never complain once.

But like here is something where I would have made a big deal if I wasn't scared of getting arrested:

I paid $59 per person extra to get "Economy Plus" on an airline (I forget which one), and found that my seat didn't recline. They didn't bother to tell me this when I bought it -- that I was trading better legroom for no recline in that particular row. All of the other Economy Plus seats did recline -- just not the row I bought.

I tried to explain that no reclining actually negates the comfort you gain from the extra leg room, and that I should have been informed of this when I bought it (I got it at the gate, not online). The stewardess was very nasty with me, repeating, "Sir, you paid $59 for extra leg room. You got your leg room. End of discussion."

I wasn't bitching just to bitch. There were empty seats in another row (one that reclined) which were also economy plus, but she refused to let me move, saying that I had to stay in my assigned seats.

Pre-9/11 I would have dug my heels in about this and had a big argument (especially because it was for a long flight), but in this case I quickly ended the argument and slinked back into my seat.

Shockingly the stewardess came back 10 minutes later and told me I could move to the other row, after flatly telling me "no" before. But if she hadn't, I would have just dealt with it and bitched on the ground.

Sorry, Marty. End hijack.
