The Great Equalizer

Forums:

sitting here at the DMV waiting to get a license renewal. No velvet ropes or VIP lines. 

Maybe FOM would like it here. 

What happened,  nedB ??

Too many speeding tickets,  parole violation ?

I thought people in your 'landed - gentry' lifestyle merely dispatched the Butler or Valet for  those menial tasks.

Personally,  I mailed in the last couple DMV documents (actually 'DMC' here) and they sent that shit back to me in the mail.

Can't afford to take time off from Work to go all the way there.

License renewal. Need to take the eyeball test. 

trolling someone who's stuck at the DNB is pretty fuckin' low...

Stuck at the DNB sounds pretty good.

lol

I blame DMB (drugband message board)

ohhh,

I don't troll anyone,  if the bar-code Hall refers to me.

My DMC - Heck month happened a couple years back,  and they got me all potty - trained.

In Jerseyland,  one needs "99 Points of ID"  to process a document.  Passport and current (expired) state documents are not sufficient.
Had to stand on my head,  recite the Communist Manifesto backwards and pee on the ceiling  all at the same time.

But no Eyeball stuff.

That place is hell on earth. I understand some people don't have a choice, but why would you ever bring small kids to the DMV?

babysitters cost $?

I never brought kids to the state vehicle agency.  I said that they got `me` all potty-trained,  but that is a metaphor.

Don't even bring the Dog there.  He doesn't need to be around that sort of environment.

Vanity plates.  Don't forget about vanity plates if you really get the itch to pay more for something "better".

Can you not make an appointment?

Appointment at DMV?  

>> Can you not make an appointment?

I actually brought that up as a solution to the people at the DMV after waiting 2.5 hours. They told me it wouldn't work because people wouldn't show up to their appointment. 

Do they do that in CA?

Yeah, you can make appointments in CA.  Whole separate line.  In and out in under 15 minutes last time when I was changing the address on my license.  

You can make reservations in CO,  it it doesn’t help much with renewal since there’s two stops. One to process then another for the photo etc. got out in a lit over an hour. 

Do they have wifi? 

Saw this one outside the office yesterday.

DMV got nothing on the IRS. 

Had to go to the IRS office in Denver. I think that after the DMV sucks the souls of the people who work there, they are eligible to work at the IRS. 

The Jerseyland version 'privatized' maybe 10-12 years back and lines / wait times became more tolerable compared to the past.

If you're doing anything complicated,  it's best to go to the 'Mothership'  in Trenton,  the state capital.  They are the most competent and capable of bending a few tiny rules once in a while.
