Not actually a shower thought; this occurred while waiting in line to cross the border from Canada back to the US. In fact, I had a double “I told you so” for my wife in that line, and she clearly knew it. The past 3 years we’ve visited my wife’s parents over the holidays but I’ve always said I want to get back across the border before New Year’s Day in part because traffic would be better, but this year with the dates she convinced me and insisted we never have to wait at Champlain so it would be fine. As we approached the border and message signs announced waits exceeding an hour I had my first one. Then as we were waiting in line I noticed there was basically no line for the NEXUS lane, which I’ve been pushing for years but she felt we didn’t need because the application sounded complicated and “we never have to wait” at border crossings.
imagine waiting at borders
EU member: borders?
This weird thing that falls apart between countries because it’s not in active use
I think that’s those places where the asphalt changes quality and the streetlights start to look different.
Ah! Like crossing from Alabama into Mississippi! LOL, even the interstate turns to shit in MS.
Yea Microsoft doesn’t do interstates well I’ve heard
I am Dutch, I approve this message.
Tbh this is mostly a yank thing. If you come to my country it’s a quick glance at the passport, 2 or 3 questions and a “Bienvenido.”
yeah even going into the PRC, I just applied for a visa in advance, the machine took my fingerprints, and I went. At the Swedish Danish border, they check your ID now when you drive over, again, you hand them the ID, they look at you, and you can go.
The US just really likes to pay people to ask about your trip to Sweden.
