Don’t make holes in my passport!

Have you ever feel offended when some embassy or passport control officers use a stapler to attach whatever form to your passport, pinching holes through the cover? Strangely enough I do – holes in my passport feel like a personal offence.

I travel a lot; this is the second case and the same country. This is probably done out of convenience or lack of thinking, but feels like exhibition of power.
