Why does nobody mention how hard border runs get after 3 years abroad?

I thought the 6 hour overnight bus from Medellin to Bucaramanga for my visa stamp would be routine, but hopping out at 3 AM with no cell service and a tired border guard who nearly rejected my paperwork took me a full day to sort out, so has anyone else had a simple renewal turn into a 28 hour headache?

Wait, is the system supposed to be painless just because you've been at it for three years? Honestly, the 3 AM border runs are the only ones that feel real, you know? The routine ones are the boring ones, but a little chaos keeps you sharp. I'd take a 28 hour headache over a stamp that feels too easy, that's when they get suspicious.
