Miscellaneous: On the move

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

Today, we're taking the plane home from Dublin after a school trip that I only barely got onto after troubles with my passport. Luckily for me, a kind person had decided to save me from the passport this evening - together with the rest of my wallet. I'm stuck. FML

Today, I was heading out for my flight to Australia. I'd put a padlock on my luggage to keep my wallet and passport safe, only to realize way too late that I'd left the key at home. I couldn't get at my passport and ended up missing my flight and my whole vacation along with it. FML

Today, I arrived at the airport only to find my suitcase was lost and my 3 weeks worth of clothes and supplies gone. All I had left was my wallet and carry ons. Upon leaving the airport I was mugged. FML

Today, I was the only passenger on a completely booked flight to have all their luggage left behind in another country. FML

Today, my family and I were coming back from a trip to the US. As we reached the border patrol we realized that we were one passport short. The border patrol lectured us for 30 minutes about how irresponsible we were for not realizing that they had forgotten to give us one of our passports back. FML

Stuck here

Today, my purse was stolen. Too bad it had all of my money and my passport. My flight is tomorrow, and the embassy is closed until Monday. Guess who gets to stay in a foreign country with no money and no identification for the next three days. FML

Today, I arrived home after taking one airplane from A to B. My luggage never made it on the plane with me, and now the airline is looking for it. One plane and still lost my suitcase. FML

Today, I went with my girlfriend to the airport for some much needed vacation time. We arrived on time but were stopped at the gate when they told me I didn't have the right passport. The plane left without me. My girlfriend did too. FML

Red tape

Today, I had to call the Australian Passport office to track my passport. Turns out they lost it in the mail. A week ago, I got my dream job as a flight attendant. Without a passport they won't accept me. I lost my dream job before I even started it. 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.

Here I am trying to make plans to get a passport to visit my boyfriend in Canada and hopefully move there soon. When I do I'll make sure to put it in my purse. Hope it works out for you. You'll love it here I have someone giving me a reason to move there though. Best of luck to you.

I really can't figure out why you'd want to move from Canada to the US... Every Canadian I've met thinks Americans are dumb as ****. I hear about it ALL the time when I go over to BC to be with my fiance. And I'm an American.

Sorry but YDI. It's your responsibility to hold on to the stuff you need with you. Unless it was separated from everything and clearly marked as DO NOT PACK, no mover could have known that was not to be packed. I have moved overseas and back a few times now and that's rule#1!

As someone who has dealt with movers: They don't always pay attention to that by the end of the day. They get so focused on moving that even tape with DO NOT PACK in the door way didn't divert them.

My father was in the army, and when we lived in Germany, movers were hired to pack outer stuff up. They would pack EVERYTHING, including our passports and my father's transfer papers to a plate with an apple core on it.
