As the Municipality Turns...

Molly:
Hello, my roommate and I sent in our application for the student Arnona discount a few weeks ago and we never heard back from the Municipality.
Man at the Municipality:
We sent you a letter saying we were missing some paperwork, did you receive it?
Molly:
No....
Man at the Municipality:
Okay. Well, your application was sent to the archives, so we'll have to get it out of the archives and then I'll call you back.
Molly:
Okay great, thank you!
Two weeks later...
Bess:
Hello, my roommate and I sent in our application for the student Arnona discount a month ago and we were told we were missing some paperwork, but they had to get the application from the archives, and we never heard back from the Municipality.
Man #2 at the Municipality:
You have to send a fax to the Municipality to prove that you live in the apartment.
Bess:
The apartment is already in our names. We've already sent in the application, they were just missing some paperwork.
Man #2 at the Municipality:
Talk slower!...You need to send a fax to the Municipality first.
Bess:
Okay...goodbye...[awkward silence]
One week later...
Molly:
Hello, my roommate and I sent in our application for the student Arnona discount over a month ago and we were told we were missing some paperwork, but we don't know what paperwork is missing.
Lady at the Municipality:
You got the discount.
Molly:
Oh really? That's great.
Lady at the Municipality:
Yeah, you still need to pay though.
It only took two and a half months but we finally got the student Arnona discount. Haimi would be so proud!
