Yes, I know.. the birth certificate can not be accepted. No, no one is trying to screw with you and I has nothing to do with not having your picture but THE FACT that the certificate only certify your birth... NOT your identity nor that you are still alive (ok you may have a pulse, but nahh you standing in front of the SSA employee with out an ID is not enough). What a CONCEPT!!. About the card not been "conveniently printed" for you in the local office...You are not proposing having "blank rolls" of social security cards in a local office with only a security guard as protection? Nahh I think that you little Starbucks brain can wait two weeks for a card. I promise the cofee will still be warm As I say...another whinny complainning about our BIG, BAD government :(( AHH!! another Starbucks whinny.

I'm surprised they let you take any pictures given the rigid and controlling nature of the people who manage the lining-up process. It's like they get a huge kick out of giving people a hard time because it's the only thing they can control.... I KNOW that SS office.

And they gave me the wrong document. The government is a beautiful thing. When I had to go, I got there half an hour before it opened and still waited in line. And they gave me the wrong document.
