Sua, as your technology advisor, and in the interests of protecting your tender ass-flesh, I am pleased to report that there is indeed a process by which the ID can be made smaller. It involves a wonderful new invention known as scissors.
My advice to you is to find someone who is permitted to use some sharp scissors (as opposed to the rounded-tipped ones they’ll let you have) and have them cut off the offending 1/2 inch. Worst that will happen is that they’ll bitch at you for damaging the ID card, and then you can always use the tender ass-flesh excuse.
you think you’ve got a problem? i bought my wallet at a market in toulouse, and it doesn’t even fit money.
damn french people, making their money and wallets too damn small.
actually, i also have an id card for my office. it never occurred to me to put it in my wallet; i keep it in the nifty little id slot on the front of my purse. it’ll open doors right through the front flap!
Obviously your company is in collusion with the manufacturers of the next generation size wallet (ver 2.1) that is the requisite ½ inch bigger. It’s just a scheme to make you buy a new wallet.
As someone who sees a variety of different office building security systems every day (I’m a bike messenger), I can say that the technology does seem to exist. For example, I’ve seen some where the credit card sized pass is scanned and brings up a photo of the person on the computer screen the guard has. This is especially nice if they have the sort of scanners that just need to be held up to the reader, rather than swiped through.
Nitpick: A pocketbook is just barely large enough to hold bills, but a purse is usually large enough to hold your passport or a checkbook, along with a variety of other sundry goods.
Everyone deserves to own a nice Gucci purse.
I ran into the same problem a few years back, so I just went over to using a ziplock baggie.
The baggie worked wonderfully, but then I found a more wonderful SO who gave me a billfold. I no longer have the SO, but I’m still using the billfold, for despite my ex being in China, if I go back to the baggie, she’ll find out and I will be shamed.
Nitpick: A bum is just barely large enough to hold bills, but an ass is usually large enough to hold your passport or a checkbook, along with a variety of other sundry goods.
Well, sua, if you emphasize hack squats, deadlifts, and leg curls in your gym workouts, you would no longer have wimpy, sensitive ass flesh, but Super Ass Flesh, able to bend ID cards with a single flex!
Y’see, Sua, another possible outcome of Gobear’s prescription is a simple reduction in assflesh quantity - I mean, one way to get your thinking outside the box is to make the box smaller, no?
Now, you could achieve the same results simply by sitting yourself down on a griddle set over medium flame (no higher, please; no need to cause a fire hazard) for about 30 minutes. Have some julienned potatoes nearby and you can make yourself some nice french fries, too!
