My sister and I were stuck at the passport office for 3 hours today. We were given the number 166 and they were calling number 55 when we got that number. Two hours later when they were on 120 we decided to cheer each number that came up. It seemed like we were scaring people but as time went on some joined in. Then we were scolded by a passport office security guard who made us stop and threatened to kick us out if we didn't stop cheering. Apparently happiness upsets the San Francisco Passport Office staff. They are used to upsetting people that want
What made me happy was how disappointed everyone was that we were forced to stop. One woman even came up to us and said she had been crying about her sick mother in the U.K. because it was taking forever for her to get a passport until our cheering began. Our cheering had uplifted her and made her "calm down and smile." Her whole family thanked us and even voiced their anger at the passport office employees. Anna and I plan to return another day to cheer for people getting their passports when mine wont be at risk. Maybe the DMV the following day.
