Irate Letter

[malagabob]

Can’t remember where I’ve seen it maybe on AB it was from a guy in Ireland I seem to remember to a government department, it was quite comical. Containing his anger to questions on forms to fill in. Ie “Why do you keep asking me what address I have, when I get post from you delivered to my address. How many people living at my address when I’ve filled in a census et etc. Sorry I can’t be more help with the contents of the letter. Bob

THIS IS AN ACTUAL PASSPORT LETTER RECEIVED BY THE IRISH PASSPORT OFFICE-----HILARIOUS!


Dear Sirs,

I'm in the process of renewing my passport, and I am losing the will to live. How is it that Sky Television has my address and telephone number and knows that I bought a *** satellite dish from them back in 1995, and yet, the Government is still asking me where I was *** born and on what date.

For *** sake, do you guys do this by hand?
My birth date you have on my pension book, and it is on all the income tax forms I've filed for the past 30 years. It is on my PPS card, my driving license, my car insurance, on the last eight *** passports I've had, before being allowed off the plane over the last 50 years, and all those insufferable census forms.

Would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother's name is Mary Anne, my father's name is Robert and I'd be absolutely *** astounded if that ever changed between now and when I die!!!!!!

I apologise, because I'm really *** off this morning. Between you and me, I've had enough of this ***! You send back the application form to my house, then you ask me for my *** address!!!!

What the *** is going on?
Do you have a bunch of neanderthal *** working there? Look at my *** picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? I just want to go and park my *** on some nice sandy beach somewhere and would someone please tell me, why would you give a *** whether I plan on visiting a farm in the next 15 days?

Well, I have to sign off now, because I have to go to the other end of the *** country to get another *** copy of my birth certificate, to the tune of €30. 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??
Nooooooooooooo, that'd be too *** easy and maybe make sense. You'd rather have us running all over the ***' place like chickens with our heads cut off, then have to 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 ***' morons) Hey, do you know why?
We couldn't smile if we wanted to
Because we're totally hacked 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 full security clearances over 25 of those years enabling me to undertake highly secretive work all over the world, and here in Ireland
......... However, I have to get someone 'important' to verify who I am
- you know, someone like my doctor -
WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN *** PAKISTAN !
Gobshites !!

I think this is a joke, by the way. ‘Derry Craic’ posts lots of jokey stuff on FB.

think i'll get him to write a letter to Paddypower bookmakers who insist on a raft of proof that i am eighteen. The fact that i have been a customer for twenty years doesn't seem to dawn on them ...

Whether true or not that letter really made me laugh. Especially the v last bit about where his doctor was raised!

[fiction-factory]

Anything that claims to be "HILARIOUS!" usually turns out to be the opposite. This is a good example

[Tilly2]

Hilarious or not, there's a lot of truth in that letter.
It made me smile.
