Holidays: Today, I picked up my passport, as my previous one was damaged...

Today, I picked up my passport, as my previous one was damaged in a car crash. As the teller warned me that a pattern of damaged passports would result in longer processing periods, she spilled her coffee - all over my new passport. I'm supposed to go overseas in a month. FML

Today, the passport office informed me I won't get my passport in time to go on holidays. However, they took the money for the passport out of my account 2 months ago, causing me to go overdrawn, and not pay my travel insurance. The same insurance I needed to get the cost of the holiday back. FML

Today, after cancelling work, arguing with my family, scrambling to pack my bags, speeding to the airport and filling in immigration forms to fly out to have a much needed holiday, I wasn't allowed to check in. My passport has less than 6 months away from expiration on it. Yes, that's a thing, apparently. FML

Today, I finished filling the pages in my passport. Also today, my mom's cat urinated on my backpack, soaking my passport with rancid pee. I have visas that last 10 years and can't be moved to a new passport, so I have to keep this nostril-burning booklet. FML

Today, I went to the airport to start the amazing 3 week vacation in Costa Rica that I've been saving for and planning for more than a year. They wouldn't let me on the plane because my passport expires in less than 6 months. 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

Today, after spending 2 years saving for my flights, I was denied boarding due to issues with my passport. I heading straight to the embassy only to be told a replacement will take 8 days. The airline will only hold my place for 7. FML

Today, after months of planning and saving for our honeymoon in Italy, my wife and I were turned away at the airport because my passport only has a month until it expires, even though it's only a five-day trip. FML

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, 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

Stupid woman. Can you get her to explain that it's her fault and waive the waiting period?

definitely her fault. if she's handling passports then coffee shouldn't even be in the vicinity. hopefully you can get a new one in a month!!

They may not be laminated but they're not made of ******* tissue paper... if you wiped it off it should have been slightly discoloured but still fine... the paper is pretty much the same as bank notes. Do you throw out fifty dollar bills if you spill a drink on them?

They won't accept your passport if it is discolored because there is a "hidden" seal.

There is a huge difference. If it doesn't scan properly, then there could be a issue. They won't let you use the passport. I had to get a new one, because mine got too wet when I got stuck in a rain storm.

How bad was your car crash that it destroyed your Passport!?

Maybe the car rolled, overturned, OP had just crawled out forgetting her passport, walked a few meters to call the police when a mini-explosion occurred, burning the passport??

Hopefully she would be able to issue a new one as it was indeed her fault. Good luck!

Don't feel sorry for her - you have to get your renewal passport through the mail

She better have expedited it for free in that case. Hope it gets processed in time.

#10: Obviously, because "going overseas" can ONLY mean going to the Middle East. There's no other destination that's "overseas" in the entire world. OP: That one shouldn't have counted, obviously, because it was her own damn fault.
