Tales of the DMV

[DVCLiz]

So, I took DD17 to the DMV this morning to replace her stolen license. While there, we witnessed the reunion of two girls, I'd say early to mid 20's, who hadn't seen each other since they both recently got out of prison. There was much conversation about how life had been (the consensus seemed to be that it sucked, one said to the other. "Did you know I'm a habitual felon now?" "Bummer, man.") and then I heard the following conversation, ver batim...

"So, I think he thought I was still a prostitute. He called and said he was going to come over about 4 in the morning."

"So, did he come over?"

"Yeah."

"Did you **** him?"

"Well, yeah."

"Did he pay you for it?"

"No, he just said we could take care of each other."

My, my, my...and to think I was worried about DD and her lack of motivation to finish her Girl Scout Gold Award paperwork.

Do you have any interesting tales of the DMV???

Never witnessed anything like THAT!

I have to get a new license soon; I hope to see something equally as funny.

Here is my DMV story.

There were 2 men in line in front of me. Both were Mexican and did not really speak very good English. One of them was trying to get an ID card.

The DMV worker had to tell them, "Sorry, we can't issue you the card since you don't know how to spell your own name."

They were trying to (illegally) get this card using a friends documents, and they misspelled his name on the application.

The DMV - worth the price of admission!!!! And a lot cheaper if you bring your own popcorn!!

We should all go to the DMV and sit there with some popcorn

No one would even notice us

Once when I was waiting in line, trying not to look around too much, but the girl in front of me was just too much to miss. She was probably 16-18 and was with her mother, what looked like a normal middle aged woman (clothes-wise anyway).

The daughter's clothes were so strange though that I can't even remember most of them, except for the top layer which was an entire fox skin. Not like a nice looking fur, but what looked like a recently skinned fox, from head to tail, just draped over her shoulders, not lined or anything. It was very disgusting.

"Oooh, foxy, baby..."

*slaps forehead* OHHH! That was too easy!

This doesn't hold a candle to Liz's story, but it was interesting to see.

Last summer I saw a teen girl throw a fit at our DMV. She had taken the driver's test and had apparently failed, something that happens to lot of teens at our DMV. She came in and told her dad they needed to go. Dad said they couldn't go b/c her brother was still waiting to take the test for his permit. Every 10 minutes or so she came in to demand that they leave now. She was more exasperated each time she came in and ended up stomping her foot and using profanity to her dad. If she were my daughter, she would still be waiting for me to sign for her to get her license.

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Apparently no one told her it was just an expression, and she didn't have to wear the whole skinned fox!!!

Well this is a very boring story in comparison but just had to share. There was NO line at the DPS on Friday when we went to get the tags for our cars. NO line-it has never happened to me ever. Now the lot at the DMV next door was packed so I'm guessing there was a long wait there. I used to see some pretty interesting characters at the DMV in Ohio. Most of them couldn't read or write.

My story is similar to this. When dh and I moved to a new state, we went to get new licenses. I brought with my every piece of ID that we were told we would need, and then some.

When we got there, there was a group of about 5 or so Mexicans at the counter, with a very exasperated DMV employee. Out of these 5, only one of them spoke broken English, and he was NOT the one trying to get a license! She was trying to explain to them that the documentation they had was not acceptable, but none of them understood. My first thought was that if the guy who was trying to get the license didn't speak a word of English, how was he going to read street signs, warnings, etc.?

We were next in line, and when we were called, I went up and laid out all of our documentation (and then some), the woman looked at it, looked at me, and said "Oh, bless you!"

The only story I have isnt much of one. When I first moved up here I had to get a new license so I went and turned in my old card to get my new one. I took the test, passed and was up at the counter answering all the questions ect. The girl had me take a eye test. You know the one where you look into the viewmaster type thing and tell them what colors you see. Well I looked and didnt see anything, just a faint image but no color. She asked me what colors I saw, I told her I didnt see any, she asked me to look again--nope, nothing. We went back and forth about 6 times before she realized that she hadnt turned it on and flipped the switch, no light was coming through to show the color. At that point she didnt ask me to look again, I think she just wanted me to move on. I got my new DL though, after I had to take my photo 3 times because the camera wasnt working. I guess I broke just about every piece of equipment there that day.
