why I hate your face: #4,360 and #4,361
#4360 I tried to change my name on my one of frequent flier accounts today. Except, of course, no one wants to call it "frequent flier" anymore. It, like everything, has to be all sexy and branded now (iFly?), so you get to refer to it by some awful, bovine program name instead.
#4361 The "iFly which shall not be named" insists that I send a photocopy of my marriage certificate in order to change my name on my frequent flier account. Now... at least they don't want an "official" copy (like everyone else seems to), but WTF? Is a faxed photo of, I dunno, my state-issued driver's license not good enough? I mean... how many MariaElainas can there be? What are the odds that this is some kind of fraud? And what, pray tell, might the less-than-honorable intentions be that they feel they need to nip in the bud? In what highly destructive flight-related mischief might I indulge? Book some tickets and/or earn some miles using my very clever new secret identity? Or perhaps sneak into the first class restroom posing as someone else? I'm sure there's some perfectly craptastic compliance reason for this requirement, but I still hate their faces.
*hisses*

We still haven't changed everything, and we've been married 2.5 years now. Sometimes it's just too much of a hassle.
