Second time I got the most awkward immigration guy you could imagine.

well. their rules; you may find them silly, but it is their game.

He complained about me stepping over the line when nobody else was
ahead of me


another rule. you broke it.

He decided my permanent Visa was no longer valid as the regulations
had changed so he cancelled it! This was despite being accepted on my
arrival to the US a week earlier.


maybe the regulations changed within this week?

He asked why I had not checked with immigration on departure (not
possible, nor suggested, at Titusville, Florida). He said I should
have contacted them anyway though the first time I went to the Bahamas
no comment was made.


you did ADCUS? you informed them of your planned arrival time?

He wanted the address where I was staying but as I was late back I
still needed to find a hotel.


then tell him "I will check in at the Holiday Inn (or whatever chain)"

Despite recommendations of ease of customs/immigration I won't ever
use Fort Pierce again.
