After standing for an hour and a half in a crowd of VERY pushy people outside a closed door waiting for it to open, the door finally opened. And even though I thought there was no way I could be any closer to the people around me, when that door opened, I was proved ever so wrong! No longer was I in a crowd of adults, or humans for that matter.
While Jason and I were right beside each other before the door opened, eight people were able to squeeze between us from the time the door opened until we were both inside. After a small outburst of frustration with the crowd shoving me into the door frame, the guard pulled me out of the crowd and asked me to wait inside the door. I thought I might have been in trouble, but when the other guard (who was handing out numbers) returned, I received the next number. Whew!
So, after one horrible day, we both have a Permesso di Soggiorno. Too bad it expires in 7 months and we'll have to return to that office. Ugh!

We had a very similar experience just a couple of weeks ago. We had to register with the city. After hours and hours of waiting, pushing, and getting the correct signatures we got our paperwork too!
