Need help with probate in Virginia?
Not bad. Not as transparent as I would like but it is what it is.
This woman named Vikki wouldn't file my passport because I had an ID card instead of a Driver's license (normal ID cards are, in fact, acceptable- I knew this then and have since called several other clerk's offices to confirm). I drove here urgently from Charlottesville for a sudden snag in processing my passport (timely manner). I mentioned in casual conversation before our disagreement that I had been in the hospital for days with my boyfriend who was in a critical car accident and that I was going to drive back for work and to meet him after surgery. She looked over it very closely.. like, eyes 2 inches from it.., showed it to her coworkers right in front of me, talked about it in front of me like I wasn't just 3 feet away from her, then enjoyed telling me she "had another issue" with the application. There are some other moments where she asked me some convoluted questions about drivers licenses and to prove to her that I can drive lol. Anyway, she was ridiculous and even goes, "I'm gonna have to call the bailiffs and have you escorted out." Like I literally didn't do anything.. she knew I drove an hour to get there and had to drive another hour to get back to work, .. etc.. The bailiff, who was right next to us btw, was cool.. I was shocked and inconvenienced because of this woman and want others to know about the experience I had.
