First, I live in Kanata, Ontario. The Post Office at which I pick up parcels has two people that work alternating night shifts. One lets me pick up the parcels with just showing my work ID as identification. The other is an an*l b#@*&.

She says that I require a photo identification that has my address on it. And they are not allowed to use the Ontario Health card. I don't have a drivers licence.. never needed it. The Liquor Commision says that they only give out "Age of Majority" cards to those under 35 (I'm not). I felt silly taking my passport to the Post Office, but she wouldn't accept even that because the address is crossed out and my new one written in (as Passport Canada tells you to do). To me, it would be absolutely crazy if I'd have to apply for a drivers licence just to pick up parcels at the Post Office.

Anyhow, for now, I take the parcel ticket to the Post Office, see who is working, and if crazy lady is there I'll come back the next day.
