Nothing to declare

AIBU to think some of them are rather dick-ish.

I'm watching today's one where the officer is a tad patronising. The tourist explained his uncle doesn't speak English so that's why he was talking to him in the queue and was telling him what to do. And the fact he's brought 15 t-shirts for 7 days obviously means he's a drug smuggler I feel sorry for him I know they have to be thorough but when I go away for two weeks I take 18 bikinis about 30 pairs of underwear and at least 28 t-shirts and about 20 bottoms lol

they even fined someone $220 for a banana that they gave them on the plane

It's not a serious thread but it puts me off going lol

In my community there's only one other half caste person I've seen in the 10 years I've lives here and I've called him a lot worse seeing as he's my brother

Yes, but you're online now, and the community which you are a part of is very, very big.

There are a lot of people on these forums who are mixed heritage and would be utterly offended by being called that.

You aren't talking to your brother now though.

That's right I'm talking to a bunch of strangers on MN

A bunch of strangers who have given you a fuck load of support in the past so don't me thank you very much.

I was flying to the US from Canada with my DS1 once. We have the US Customs in the Canada Airport. I filled out the immigration forms to say I had no fruit, vege, meat, or banned substances etc..... DS said he was hungry so I gave him an apple to eat which I'd put in my bag especially for him. Got to the counter. The guy said "do you want to change your statement" , erm, puzzled I was, no. He asked me again. I'm still puzzled. Then he points to DS eating the apple. He told me that would be a $500 fine if he issued one.

I said that he'd have finished it before we got on the plane let alone got to the States, and we were still in CANADA. But apparently, as soon as I stepped over a line in the airport in CANADA I was on US Soil.

He directed me to a guy to do a bag search, who happened to be a very charming European and he was a bit eye-roll at it all as well.

These type of things really do my head in!

You may well be the sort of person who regularly uses the "N word" in day to day life OP, it doesn't mean that it's acceptable...

The only "N-Word" I use in everyday life is No thank you.
