Hi folk, here is a funny story that happened to me.I decided to go to the moroccan consulate in Washington D.C. to renew my passport, So I reserved and called early in the morning about that. after a terrible traffic jam, I had to spend 2.5 hours going only 30 miles (50Kms).Well arrived at the fortunate destination, I can see (for the first time) with proudness the moroccan flag and a golden sign saying : "Kingdom Of Morocco" Consular Affairs, I felt that feeling of being home ! and yet things are to be confirmed later.I just stepped in, I saw a waiting room more looking like the waiting room for pediatrics in downtown rabat. Anyway, I found a lady over there and saluted her : Assalamo Alaykom. She answered me straight : Sorry We are closed, and the one who signs has already left ( ha ha ha ha, they never change and not even answered my salam)Anyways I kindly asked her for their business hours, she answered : from 10 in the morning until 2 in the evening, (knowing that the procedure to get the passport renewed takes 4 hours)making the calculation you have to be exactly at 10 and leave exactly at 2 (closing hour).Today will be called the day wasted in the mo9ata3a of the united states of america. I just smiled, and wished her a nice evening.She felt the guilt, asked me if I know the list of the paperwork needed so she can hand me one. I declined stating everything is ready in my file.Maybe I should wait until back to Rabat, and get it serviced by the "friend of the family" ? Maybe I will but don't ask me why we overabuse the administration, maybe just because they are "underperforming" thats to be the least to say.//en.yabiladi.com/topics/today-moroccan-administrative-coup-coeur-44-1082807-1082807.html#msg-1082807 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 19:04:00 +0200 Phorum 5.2.15
