2. They screwed up my passport renewal. I had to get a new one

because I only had 2 visa pages left. The passport didn't expired until Aug. 2029. So, I checked the box for the 'large' book with like 52 pages. When it arrived, 3 weeks later, it was the standard book. I filed a complaint and they called me, admitted it was their mistake, and told me fill out a special form, take a new photo, and return the passport they had just sent. They would replace at no additional cost (except photo and registered mail).
I decided to keep the smaller one. I may not be traveling as much as I get older. And I'm leaving the country on Jan. 7th.
