Nah, that is a major jackass move. The screaming is what it is but no headphones is lazy parenting. Probably the people who play music from their phones on public transit

I booked a ticket to fly in a favourite relative to spend the holidays with us. She just texted me and said "My passport is expired. Is that going to be a problem?" Flight leaves for Canada in 5 hours.
Yes...that's going to be a problem.

We have those, they're called traffic signals. The vehicles have red-amber-green lights, and the pedestrians have an orange hand and a white walking figure.
Lol. Indeed. I meant a version that is for school zones.

Wife did that once for a flight to Vancouver but expired drivers license.
"Oh whatever, no one cares."
She learned her lesson and luckily, I drove the passport over for her to pick up and she was able to hop on the next flight so it wasn't a huge problem.
I thought I was being smart, hitting Costco on Monday at noon. Apparently no one else had to work that day either though, it was busier than a regular Saturday
This was my gear grinder right here.
I unexpectedly got a couple days off this week and my first thought was "holy cow, I can finish up my shopping in the middle of the day while everybody's at the office!"
Apparently the office doesn't exist. Lots were fuller than a Saturday, like you said. Shelves were also plucked bare of most of the appealing gift items.
I gave up after one wildly unsuccessful tour of the malls and did my shopping online.
People in this town sure have some enviable work schedules with dreamy flexibility to be able to slip out for an afternoon of holiday shopping on a whim.

Wait you actually thought WFH people actually worked?

I have flown to the USA with an expired passport. No one noticed. I didn't notice until I got home and realized it was expired.
I also once flew to the USA with zero ID. The Canada customs guy quizzed me about Calgary and let me in.
Both times were pre 9-11.
One of the few things I envy people my senior for. Being old enough to enjoy the pre-9/11 days of international travel.
The puckered-butt feeling you get going anywhere these days sucks much of the joy out of going anywhere.
Must always be prepared to lose that small bottle of product you brought that it turns out wasn't small enough. Also your water. And then your water again even though it was purchased after security.

At first you wonder how this could happen, but then I remember COVID and the insanity of trying to get anywhere, but yeah...dude, at least have a vague idea when your passport is going to expire.

For what it's worth, a few years ago I realized I was missing my passport at 7AM and was on a plane by 2:30... It's not easy, but it's possible.
