Bizarre Boob Job Request at Embassy
The British embassy certainly has it’s hands full of people’s frivolous requests who are travelling abroad and use them as their end all be all, but this one request probably takes the cake. Apparently a woman who was travelling abroad went to the British Embassy to complain that her boob job was bad and that she was unsatisfied and asked if they could help her. That’s not what the embassy is for, and this woman must not have gotten that memo because she genuinely wanted them to help her get restitution for what she deemed was an unsatisfactory breast implant operation.
Of course the Embassy told her to buzz off in not so many words, and they are obviously frustrated that people think it’s ok to waste their time on ridiculous and petty complaints and requests when they have real problems they need to deal with for travellers who have serious issues that need to be addressed. Embassies are placed around the world to represent those that come from other parts of the world and are travelling. Embassy is derived from the word ambassador, and it is designed to be a neutral ground and advocate for the person who is having problems in a foreign country.
This is also why they are often the target of terrorist attacks, and one of the reasons why they become frustrated when people misunderstand their purpose and waste their time and resources on subjects that have nothing to do with negotiation or the Embassy, but rather can be taken care of in a law office or in a travelers center.
