Customs Officers: Have you ever laughed out loud when someone gave you their passport and they had an… unusual name? - eviltoast

I found someone in our user database with the name “Deekshita Anusri”. I then imagined the poor soul at the border who had to read that name in front of the person named so.

I’d love to hear some stories about times something like this actually happened.

      Seeing an identification card that explicitly lists someone’s race makes me real fuckin uncomfortable. Is this a thing in Singapore?

        In Singapore, minimum wage is based on your race (country of origin). For a domestic worker, they literally tell you to pay some people less money.

        I don’t know if mine is still on my ID, but I know it used to be. I’m in Europe.

            I don’t tend to look at my ID daily since I have a drivers’ license. And my wallet is in the other room.
