Im having issues with a PVG check for a new job ive been offered as I live in the uk and grew up here but was born Canadian and brought here when I was 3.
40 years later im now facing issues 😬 anyway, myself and my brother (who has decided to do the same as me just to be sure hes legit too)
A month ago we were told to go and get our biometrics done at the closest home office building. For reasons unknown and I will forever question this…I took my handbag into the building….
Of course they searched it. I was shaking life a leaf and felt all colour drain from my face as I felt my brother stiffen beside me as they asked for it to be handed over.
I mumbled “oh my goodness, I have some meds in there out of packaging…its going to look dodgy”
The man at the desk made eye contact and laughed a little and said “anything good?”
I watched as first they pulled out my prescription painkillers OUT OF BOXES…LITERALLY JUST STRIPS..and then 5 (almost empty)FUCKING WEED VAPES….
There was a second where im sure the whole planet slowed down for me and my brother…
The guy called the others over to laugh at us and told me to go ahead and go through security “ill let you off with that” he said giggling
WTF
Afterwards when we were exiting the whole bloody team were there at the desk having clearly been laughing at the ridiculousness of me…the absolute fanny who walked into a government building with 5 weed vapes and controlled drugs 💀
Obviously I can’t tell anyone else this story as its not legal here so im confessing to you guys 😂

Not me but I had a friend who was driving from upstate NY to Chicago with his girlfriend and was going to cut through southern Ontario instead of taking I-80. His gf had an Altoids tin full of weed. Cost them hours at the border, she got permabanned from Canada, his Corolla got put on an “always search thoroughly” list, and they ended up having to take 80 anyway.
This was 2001, I think. I still remember her telling the story in Chicago, crying “what if I never get to see a moose!”
I accidentally had my CCW on me once while I was going into our city courthouse for jury duty, when the metal detector went off I instantly remembered. Told the guard I forgot my wallet and ran it to my car. That was scary af
Haha no worries bro. They don’t care…
