Time for a DONUT Break!!!
Well there are two reasons why they might require no cell phone. One is the interference with electronics, which is the reason they are kept out of Hospitals. The other is as a post 9/11 security thing in a federal building. It beats strip searching infants, IMHO. Annoying, I agree.
The gummint is afraid of ‘we-the-people’ — and it shows...
Federal building, at a guess? I saw one of those clowns try to give a rather startled-looking FBI agent a hard time not too long ago. Don’t thrash him. Even if you win, you lose.
Good for you Smampy! The guard should be ashamed of himself, he should have treated you with a little courtesy.
I don’t see why you can’t have a cell phone at a social security office. Seems maybe that clown was having a donut overdose — call the manager there and complain.
If ya carry a cane with you, you could bop them on the haid!
Now see, Swampy, if you were just an illegal or an indigent you wouldn’t be having these problems. Or maybe you need to have octuplets!
Seriously, take a deep breath—as deep as you can!—and go take some more of your great pics to cheer us all up!
Sorry you had a rough day. ((((HUGS, Swampy)))))
I try to do everything I can online.
I do go to the local/county each January to assess and get the auto tag renewal.
[I found out after I went last month that I can even assess and get the auto tag via online.]
As for changing medicare providers, allot of that can be done online/snail-mail too.
And since this is your area of interest,
My grandson and I went for a stroll Saturday. He got to see his first bald eagle before his first birthday.
About a month ago while driving to work, I noticed that there were several uniformed Cops walking the platform of the LIRR station, as well as a squad car parked across the street ... watching, just watching ... meanwhile, that same day, I noticed that on several entry ramps to the Interstate, a squad car was parked on the grass along the ramp ... watching, just watching ... same with one of the Parkways later that afternoon, State Police parked along the ramp ... watching, just watching ...
Obviously some sort of 'alert' was issued to LE that day, as these Cops and Troopers are not normally positioned in these places on a regular basis
Just a thought, thats all ...
God love ya sir. It is only going to get worse. Thats what all those antidepressants are out there for.
It makes getting threatened and screwed less stressful.
I share your frustrations with a dickless authoritarian. Their day is coming.
Time for a DONUT Break!!!
I’ve been in many offices waiting rooms where you can’t use a cell phone. Then the guard and the receptionist loud talk for two hours.
We put up with a lot these days.
Every time I walk into a state courthouse, which is quite often, I have to show my ID card and they put that infra-red light thing on it to make sure its legit.
In the civil court, which is the lower jurisdiction court, they also look in my briefcase, even though i have the ID card.
In the federal courthouse, not only do i have to put my bag through the x-ray machine, and show my ID card, but I also have to check my cell phone. seems they think it can be used as a detonator.
I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.
“In every bureaucratic system, the shifting of responsibilities is a matter of daily routine, and if one wishes to define bureaucracy in terms of political science, that is as a form of government - the rule of office as contrasted to the rule of men of one man or of the few, or of the many - bureaucracy unhappily is the rule of nobody and for this reason is for this reason perhaps the least human and most cruel form of rulership”.

I think we need to start a SWAMPSNIPER “get SWAMPSNIPER bailed outta jail fund” You’ll obviously be needing it.
