make local city council complain robot with Claude Code, it lets you select the place on the map, add a photo, then it writes a letter in Portuguese and shows you in English too, then you can send it #onlyinportugal

build a robot to auto complain to local Portuguese city hall about problems like 1) holes in the road, 2) road mirrors missing, 3) garbage bins being on fire in the neighborhood #onlyinportugal

go to Vodafone store in beach town with gf to get her eSIM but they cannot do it now because the system is down so she has to come back in a few hours and maybe they can do it #onlyinportugal

go ATM to get cash because Portuguese driving school won't accept card probably because they don't wanna pay tax, and at the ATM a Brazilian woman starts randomly complaining to me about how nothing in Portugal functions, she's been waiting for years for her citizenship, her house electricity is improperly installed and she is stressed #onlyinportugal

try call Vodafone number for gf that can only be called with Portuguese number so she use Brazilian cleaner phone but the robot doesn't let you enter the decimal part of the phone balance which is required to validate it is you (???) so it hangs up and you cannot call again so need to go back to Vodafone office in Lisbon #onlyinportugal

immediately request and pay them also to get me my IDP international driver license to avoid more IMT craziness #onlyinportugal

go to my driving school to pay them to fix my problems with IMT Portugal driving license institution who will NOT give me my driver license #onlyinportugal

go to roof with airconditioning guy and electrician and we find out the AC guy installed the tube with electricity cables vertically on roof which you should NEVER do because then of course rain falls in and goes down through the tube in electricity box and cause short circuit #onlyinportugal

go to second Vodafone store that the first Vodafone story told us to go but they say they can only give gf new eSIM by receiving SMS on the old phone but during Apple transfer it wiped the eSIM so they can't help her (new Portugal Kafka situation unlocked) #onlyinportugal

drive to Portuguese driver institution IMT in Lisbon to pickup my driver license card but the extremely most angry grumpy government woman I've ever seen in my life says she won't give it to us because we didn't make an appointment on SIGA app eventhough the license card is LITERALLY behind the counter, so now it's been 3 months and I still don't have my license after passing exam 😂👌 (the license which I applied for directly after passing exam and then the driver license card would receive in 3 weeks, but the grumpy woman behind the desk last time said the house number is missing for my address on their system (so the driving school forget to enter my house number), so she could not ship my driving license card to home, so instead I had to pick it up at IMT, and she said it's my fault for not checking my address properly) #onlyinportugal

buy tickets for Portuguese palace but the site has a bug so there's no tickets after I bought them nice #onlyinportugal

check early in to Portugal TAP airline at Amsterdam Schiphol and they won't let us take hand luggage after we bought TAP premium ticket with multiple hand luggage etc. TAP staff says admit have to hit a target to get people to check in their hand luggage, eventhough we're the first to check in so it doesn't make sense at all #onlyinportugal

call Portuguese interior company that delivered broken closet and have then ghosted us over email and phone for months, so I made a screen cap of the experience of calling them to prove it and to share my experience with the majority of Portuguese businesses #onlyinportugal x.com/levelsio/status/1999448…

get a shitload of Spanish tapas boxes cause they ran out of business class food for us #onlyinportugal

log how absolutely filfthy and dysfunctional Lisbon Airport is #onlyinportugal

see Tapo Door Bell break because of water inside because Portuguese cannot read "Press Here" so they pressed the motion sensor which then cracked open #onlyinportugal

go Portuguese driver institution IMT to apply for the driver license card which I would then receive in 3 weeks, but the grumpy woman behind the desk says the house number is missing for my address on their system (so the driving school forget to enter my house number), so she cannot ship my driving license card, instead I have to pick it up at IMT, but for that to happen it will take 1.5 months, and she said it's my fault for not checking my address properly #onlyinportugal
