I went to an office to conduct some public transaction, and the interaction went like this:
Clerk: name?
Me: Peky Jones
Clerk: address?
Me: 214 Elm St
"wating for computer..."
Clerk: we do not have any Peky Jones at that address
Me: so sorry, I gave you my new name, my old name is John Jones
Clerk: you are "John Jones?"
Me: yes, that is me
clerk: wait a minute Ma'am
"she goes behind a door.....comes back with a man"
Man: We need your husband in order to proceed with this transaction
Me: husband?
Man: yes, we can not do this transaction but with Mr. John Jones, is he your husband?
Me: no! I am John Jones!!!
Man: well, i will have to see your social security card and two forms of ID with a picture, MA'AM!
(since I did not have my ss card with me, I left with a big smile in my face. Several days letter I returned with my "name change court order," "gender change letter," ss card, and my passport.)
Clerk: you again
Me: can I talk to you supervisor?
Clerk: one moment Ma'am
Man: yes, Ma'am
Me: here a re the papers you ask for proving that I was john Jones
Man: (grabs papers) wait a minute, please
(goes behind door, comes like 10 minutes later)
Man: Here is the certificate of your transactions, and your papers, sorry for the delay and confusion Ma'am
Me: (smiling) bye!
