This is a rant post. So feel free to ignore.
It not so much that my morning was horrible, it was more of how I handled it. Appropriately, I handled it like a naive, foolish idiot. It wouldn't have mattered so much if I just made a mistake and learnt from it, it was the fact that that mistake cost me money.
Ultimately, I get that it was my fault. But what sort of bloody security is that if a sleeping guy and just sleep his way through your security? Seriously, I was totally tired out the day before from packing and stuff, so I slept during the trip, is that wrong?
Anyway, the other part is that it would have been fine if I had not been such an idiot and knew how to play the 'game'. Had I remembered that 'checking out' was just a matter of glancing at a 'document' and not a full process of stamping and scanning, I would've just went on and crossed over without much issue. As it was, I had to get off and get myself into trouble.
And I get the other game they played though. I never did have the idea of that game, so I was quite confused, but they slowly took me to one side and asked for, let's say
'transit fees'.
So I was so relieved I did not really think it through and paid and got through. But the thing is really the fact that I did not really think it through and for that I wasted my money. Money that is not technically mine and I am feeling really really pissed about it. Mostly on myself, but really, why they hell did no one call me up? >.<
Anyway, what's past is past I guess. It's just one of those things that inevitably only happens to me and no one else. Seriously, ask around, you think anyone is that stupid to actually sleep through a checkpoint?
Anyway, I just have to say it out somewhere. I was feeling really stupid, really foolish and really pissed at myself. >.<
Not sure what the hell I should tell people if they ask. This is I think the stupidest thing I've ever done. Second would be the getting fined for doing something everyone else was already doing, but that's a old and long story.
