Reporter stopped by TSA agent who didn't know District of Columbia is in US

[Boudica the Lyoness]

35. Plenty of dumb shits about

When I was waking up from a C Section at DC General in 1975, (I gave birth there to make a statement) a doctor started to speak to me and this RN interrupted him and said, "Don't bother talking to her she can't understand you. She's from British Columbia". lol, I'm British. Funny thing was the doctor was also British and boy did he give her a funny look when I started talking to him in my best poshest accent.

Someone tried to make me look geographically stupid a few years ago. At a small town post office here in the U.S, I was sending my son, who's in the U.S air force in England, a package. I asked the head post office woman for a customs form. This woman loved to embarrass and scold people in line and she loudly said, "You don't need a customs form to send something to New York. NEW YORK IS THE UNITED STATES"! I replied, also loudly, "That's an APO address it means the package is going overseas. I'm surprised you didn't know that".

One more; This fellow, upon hearing I was from England, asked me where was England. I thought he meant longitude and latitude at first, then I looked at his vacant eyes and said, "Near France" and he asked me how long it takes to drive there.
