Quiet Time at the DMV

Quiet Time at the DMV

Sitting in the abyss that is the DMV I had plenty of time to think, write and age. There was much that I wrote down (most of which I won't bore you with). But here's a few take-a-ways that might be worth your 2 minutes to read.

 

By the way, I was there because my license expired 4 months ago. So my first random thought would be: Why didn't I get a renewal notice???

 

The guy at the front door should be able to answer a myriad of basic questions.

 

Complaining and whining don't tend to change the rules or procedures at such a place.

 

If you smoke outside right before you come in...you still smell like smoke inside.

 

If you plan to be at the DMV 2 hours, then 3 doesn't seem too bad. But if you plan to be there 30 minutes, then you're sunk.

 

If you have something to do while you wait, like write random thoughts, it helps the time go by even faster.

 

I got there 20 minutes early and the line went clear around the building. I'd love to see that at church!

 

One pretty girl at Fashion Island is barely noticed. But one pretty girl at the DMV...EVERYONE NOTICES!

 

Someone needs to make a brochure that answers the frequently asked questions. Then, they can give it to the guy at the front door!

 

People are so fun to watch. LAX is better, but this isn't bad.

 

I think they must be giving free tattoos to everyone waiting in line outside.

 

You can memorize the eye charts before they call you up to the counter. Seriously!

 

I wonder how many random thoughts I'll write down that I won't put on the blog. (Answer: A LOT)

 

Can't wait for Father's Day at Community. It's going to be awesome!!

 

I'm pretty sure people would pay for lots of things while waiting at the DMV. How about: valet parking, snacks, hot/cold drinks, cushions for the seats, recliners, magazines...

 

Why is the only baby in the whole place that's screaming sitting directly in front of me? (Don't answer that!)

 

You tend to feel like a number when you ARE a number. I was H010. (I was secretly jealous of H007.)

 

I seriously can't wait for Father's Day at Community!!!

 

How many mandatory breaks do these people get???

 

GOD LOVES EVERYONE OF THESE PEOPLE SO MUCH HE SENT HIS SON TO DIE FOR THEM IN THEIR PLACE!
