For all of our sakes, I hope these were not the chips you bought...

Seriously not kidding on this. Crossing the border on the way back from Windy City I declared $280 in chips. Lady looks in the back not believing I could fit $280 in potato chips in my car.

Where are the potato chips?

No poker chips.

Then I had to answer a bunch of dumb questions about how much my poker chips were worth.

Uhh...$280.

No, how much are they worth?

No seriously lady I paid $280 for them because that is how much they are worth.

But how do I know they are worth $280?

Because I PAID $280. THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE WORTH.

She finally gave up.

Lmao...years back a couple friends and I set off to see a Blackhawks game in Chicago. We get to the border and the guy actually asks us who they're playing. We say Calgary. He hesitates, thinks for a moment and says (I shit you not) isn't it closer for you to go to Calgary?
We all looked at each other in amazement. I leaned forward from the passenger seat and said "well, no. It's like twice the distance!" And my buddy snorts and adds "yeah, and the fucking game is IN Chicago.."
That was a pretty quick trip through the border...
Are border patrolmen not savvy on geography and common sense?

Only trip through the border when anything noteworthy happened was on my way back from Montreal in 2000 or 2001. May have been pre-September, not sure.

The line to get back into the U.S. at the Vermont border was loooooooooooooong. Like a mile long, four lanes wide. We waited for hours. When we finally got there, wondering WTF was making them take so long with everyone, they asked to peek in the trunk of the car I was in after they checked IDs.

That's literally all they did: opened the trunk, went "Uh-huh," and closed it. Thanks, welcome back, move along. That trunk was fully stuffed with backpacks and duffel bags. We could have had 50 pounds of cocaine, a few dozen hand grenades, and a stash of weapons-grade uranium in there, plus a few kidnapped children tied up underneath, and they would've just shrugged and waved us along.

Why bother wasting the time and energy to put on this silly show? It wouldn't scare anyone anyway; they'd see you didn't actually search. The line was still stretched out into the horizon. But I guess they gotta justify their paychecks and government benefit packages.

My brother in law spent 4 hours in a border detention building on the way to Niagara Falls for calling a border guard "border pig"...

Just logged in to see this travesty of a thread. The goal is to keep them open so if new stuff comes up it can be posted, but since people are acting like children. /Closed it is.
