Things that assume/require that I have exactly one physical address.
That includes banks, insurance companies, government agencies, utilities, and pretty much every business that I need to deal with to do anything.
90% of the pain I encounter during my life on the road stems from the fact that I don't own or rent property in the US, and therefore don't have a fixed address. There are tons of people in my situation (especially among the less well off), yet every time I have to deal with any official paperwork from any organization they make it seem like it's some novel situation they've never encountered before.
- fragmede 16y agoOr even just physical addresses in general. I wish there was an official registry a-la-dns, people would mail things to me, and the post office would route it to me based on what that registry said. Yes, you'd have to update it, but it beats having to update my address in a half-dozen places every time I move. There are actually a few places that deal with this - http://earthclassmail.com/ http://earthclassmail.com/ being one of them.
- Maciek416 16y agoThere's a similar service, myus.com , which accomplishes this for non-US residents.
- decadentcactus 16y agoThanks for the link, I was after something exactly like that and was at the point where I was just going to do it myself.
- lutorm 16y agoLol, try doing that on a US nonimmigrant visa...
