The government way of doing things

This is the common thing which we come across in all government run offices. I was sitting in a passport inquiry office. I have already submitted all concerned documents which are prerequisite for my passport.
The guy who was the authority started asking questions..

He: Show me your original documents..
Me : Here they are.
He : Where the hell is your original school leaving certificate?
Me: Sir, we are not allowed to take it with ourselves unless we submit a proof for joining some new institute. So I don't have the original one. But I have attested the true copy of it.
He: ( in a sarcastic tone) This won't help my dear!!!:(
This is a police enquiry... You gotta show some proof.
He went on asking questions n I answered them honestly.
And then totally ignoring me, ordered me to sit on other chair.
(well thanks for the honor!!!! )

There were other people standing for the same reason. He inquired them the same way.
After some time, he came out hurriedly from his room. After wasting 5 minutes per head,( total of 15 as we are three peoples out there) he came again playing with his cellphone...

This time he directly asked me for bribe. And being an honest Indian I gave him...

Well thats how our system works.....right?
I started understanding it!!!!

Now I understand, why those Bangladeshi Intruders gets all facilties and voting rights...I understand, why those politicians who protest Vande Mataram get elected....

Well I know, I indirectly supported him, but then tell me, what I should have done?
After all, I don't want to create hurdles in my passport processing!!!!
