Today, after a year of saving up and travelling for 14 hours, we were denied entrance at the Indian border because there was a rip in my boyfriend's passport. The reason for the rip? He used one of the pages to roll a joint. FML

Follow up! We flew home together. To be honest, it didn't even occur to me to go without him. It was a very weird and stressful situation, badly handled by the Indian authorities. I was DEFINITELY pissed off, and spoke the words "That'd better have been the best ******* high of your ******* life". But I also knew that he'd used his passport for this purpose when he was 19 (we were 25 at the time this happened), and he was extremely sorry. We got home, he applied for an emergency passport, and 10 days later we were at the Indian border again, this time letting him through (after an agonising 40 min!). He borrowed money of his parents to be able to afford our new flights, and I didn't have to pay him back :) As they say, comedy = tragedy + time. It's been two years since this happened and I'm slowly getting to a point where it's actually a funny story, which is why I decided to submit it to FML. I'm not too surprised about the huge amounts of YDI, because it was an extremely idiotic thing to do - I mean, seriously, who uses their passport as roach?!?! But it was done when he was young and stupid, and he's definitely grown up since then ;)

What was next, smoke a tide pod? That was a pretty moronic thing to do.

He couldn't have picked a better time to roll a joint--let alone use a crappier piece of paper for it?

Man I can't say I have much practice rolling joints but passport paper seems like a terrible option, it's thick and plasticy. Plus that's some expensive paper for a joint.

I think he would've used it as a roach rather than the whole joint, rolled into a small tube and placed at the end. My ex used to use small strips of cardboard he ripped off various packets of things. In fact, I could totally imagine him using his passport for the purpose

Did you know about this beforehand? If so, YDI. If not, FYL and dump the pothead.
