The internet is a storehouse of content that range from being knowledgeable to being funny and weird. Several unconventional ideas find their way onto various social media platforms. One such video has surfaced on the microblogging site X, formerly Twitter, that shows a passport being used to write down phone numbers.
"The Passport Officer in Kerala hasn't yet recovered from the shock after seeing a person's passport which came for renewal," reads the caption of the video shared by X user @Nationalist2575.
In the video, a man can be seen flipping over the pages of the passport that should be used for visa stamps. As he turns the pages further he sees phone numbers written on some of them. He then moves to the last page of the passport where one can see calculations done on them.
Since being shared, the bizarre clip has gone viral and amassed close to 68,000 views, 1.2k likes and tons of comments.
"Imagine if somebody travelled with this passport and an immigration officer had to stamp it," commented one user on seeing the video.
"Usefulness of resources. He didn't get chance to travel. Why to leave the pages bank?," wrote another user.
"Phonebook + Accounts + Grocery and also Passport. Jai ho," commented a third.
While a fourth wrote, "The owner found some use of it. It is quite handy for a phone book, people before the mobile era will understand it!!".
