Today I went to the U.S. Embassy to get a document to allow me to get a driver's license. The lady at the American Citizen Services was pretty abrupt and curt with people. When you enter, you take a number and wait until it is called. At one point she called a number, waited about 5 seconds, barked another, and then another.
So as to not miss my turn (and due to the fact that there were no seats available) I stood near the service windows while waiting. One American stepped up to the counter and asked about a form to export a Buddha statue from Thailand. She said that she was told that she needed a form from the U.S. Embassy. The clerk told her that she didn't. The woman responded that she had been told by someone earlier today that she would need it. The clerk told her "we have a lot of summer interns working here and they don't know what they are doing. You know, like Monica Lewinski." It was pretty funny.
