On the move

By bluefrisky - 29/09/2012 07:39 - Canada - Toronto

Today, we had movers come in to take all of our stuff as the final step to our move to the States. We have our flight scheduled for tomorrow evening. Thing is, they accidentally took my carry-on bag without my knowledge. In that carry-on there was a little something called a passport. FML

Just explain to your significant other that they must go on their own, unpack and arrange all your stuff, finding your passport in the process and send it back so you can join them after all the unpacking is done. Good plan by the way. The "without my knowledge" part gives it a realistic spin.

Speaking for Canada, I guess we can keep you for a little while longer.

Something very similar happened to me. Movers came and took my things to Germany, here I sit a month later on an air mattress waiting on a passport.

Correction. Three people who don't know how to use the buttons. This FML is going to set a record for most pointless comments.

Well, if you are Canadian, you may not need a passport to enter... May be two other forms of ID and proof of citizenship could work (like birth cert)

Nope. The US are pricks about getting into their country now. If your passport is CREASED, they can turn you away.

While that may still be true driving across the border, when you are flying you have to have a passport now.

#31 true #33 - I assumed since she is in Ontario she'd be driving to Buffalo or Albany. My bad. You're right, if they are flying they have to have a passport and complete immigration before they board the plane in Canada.

I'd suggest staying in Canada for a few reasons.

Wow. What a dummy. You should know that you'll need that. Keep it in your purse or your back pocket! Lol

OP kept it in the carry-on bag they'd be taking on the plane the next day, not in the pocket of the pants they were wearing that day. In other words, OP thought ahead to make sure the passport couldn't be left behind. You sneered at something OP did right. The problem is that that the carry-on bag wasn't clearly marked (or was, and the movers missed it) as something the movers shouldn't take.

I made this account just so I could comment on how stupid your comment was. You do realize op is from Canada and there is no sea between Canada and "the states" don't you? Yes I understand that you may be staying within your country and therefore don't need a passport but still use some common sense.

Aren't you allowed to have a different form of ID in case something like that happens? If you're at least 18 and you can get by with being under 18 just have your parents tell the security or ticket people you're 15 because people under 18 don't need passports or any form of ID at least in the USA. We had to do that last year and it worked

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't you then need at least a birth certificate or something to prove you are supposed to be with the adults you're traveling with if you are under 18?
