This is going to sound very Type A, control freak of me but it’s time to renew my passport and I’m having a lot of anxiety about mailing it off into the unknown. Now, ordinarily, I would tell you not to scare me with all your tales of passport terror, but I really want to know, has anyone had any problems (i.e. not gotten their passport back) when mailing it off for renewal?

P.S. Thank you to everyone for submitting stories for the contest. I’m digging how many of them include awkward foreign nudity.
