Default US Customs Does it Again

Third time in a row I got searched by US Customs. This time it took only 30 mins and not an hour. Just as courteous as last time.

I got lost while looking for the immigration/inspection centre (?) so I asked some black customs guy where to park and he was slightly irritated and said "numbah one, numbah one!"

So I just parked in a regular spot. Then when I got out and showed him my orange immigration inspection form and asked him where to go. He repeated in a thick Brooklyn accent "numbah one!!" then mumbled something incoherent, but when I said "pardon?" he repeated what he said with more anger.

I just said thanks then walked to the inspection door, but then he yelled at me and my buddy "jooo Canaaadiens go to school?!? numbah one I said! numbah one!!!!! " The way he was spitting while yelling reminded me of a drill sarge.

So we went to the other door that was "number one" while he continued yelling in the background "numbah one! numbah one!!" Blah blah, after a 30 minute wait they asked us in and after the regular questions the guy stamped the paper and let us off.

US Customs agents at any of the ontario borders are the biggest idiot power-freaks.

Really? I never had a problem going into Canada through the Lewistown Bridge or vice versa.

Getting into Canada is easy. It's coming back to the US that's a bitch. US customs are stupid. I got detained coming back into the states because I had a cat purchased in the US with all her up to date shot records from a US vet.
