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)

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
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
clean up absolute chaos and mess left by solar panel guys on roof because in Portugal you do things yourself because they always do only 60% of the job and always too late
#onlyinportugal
write message to solar panel cause because we still have no solar panels and he said they'd be up by September, all we have is some stones on the roof
#onlyinportugal
see solar panel guy come to my door to tell us the solar panels are now installed on the roof (in perfect English) so I go check and go on the roof and there's literally no solar panels on the roof
#onlyinportugal
borrow money from driving instructor to buy coffee in the break because they don't accept card next to the driving license center of entire Portugal
#onlyinportugal
send voice message to official Tesla reseller solar panel who's already delayed for months, then delayed the 5-day install to now 2 weeks, and today came with solar panels but won't install them, just drop them off in the garden, and that if he won't install them today I will get my lawyer Bruno Matos involved and tell everyone about his company in a bad way, or I can tell everyone about his company in a good way and he can just finish the installation
