DMV Moronic Customers

[Hitokiri Akins]

Okay, let's get the abbreviations out of the way.

PG: Poor Girl. She was working the register at the DMV one day.
IW: Idiot Woman.

A few months ago, I got a...car (I won't say a new car, because the thing is 21 years old), and I went in to get my special Air Force Veteran tags. Well, there was this woman, who had her license suspended for something.

Anyway, this woman doesn't have all the paperwork she needs to get her license back. Now, any intelligent person who make sure that they have every possible thing they could possibly need when they go to the DMV. I know I do. I practically bring a briefcase full of important documents that the DMV could possibly ask for.

Well, instead of walking off, embarrassed and frustrated that she just wasted her time, IW starts fighting with the poor girl who's just doing her job. The IW actually starts screaming at PG to give her back her license. It got so bad that someone actually calls for the mall cops to "escort" IW out of the DMV. And when I say "escort", I mean "drug out like a jackass and probably put in a real cop's squad car for public disturbance".

When IW was gone, PG actually continued working and called my number. I go up and say, "Boy, where's Jack Daniels when you need him?" She laughed at my joke, and I do my best to brighten her day after dealing with that. Long story short, I made things as painless as possible for her, thanked her, and left.

Why is it that some of the stupidest people in this world are the loudest and most vocal?

[Aethian]

I can see the frustration of waiting all that time to get her license back but dang, yea I would have made sure I had all papers neccesary. Either that or request a written note about what papers I was missing so I could come back.

But since I have to have my DL and loosing it is not an option...don't think I'll have this problem.

But to argue the point, just no point in it.

[Bright_Star]

That's cause they're embarressed & wanna take it on people they percieve as weak.

[Hobbs]

Huh, at the DMV here (or DPS, rather...) DPS troopers are actually working there. it seems odd it wasn't so there...

[trunks2k]

It's like on that show Parking Wars

-PPA: You need your license, registration, and proof of insurance to get your car out.
-Idiot: I don't have that! Why do I need that?
-PPA: Because it's state law. Come back when you have your license, proof of insurance, and registration.
-Idiot: FINE!

*an hour later*
Idiot: here's my license and registration.
PPA: Ok, where's your proof of insurance?
idiot: WHAT?! You didn't tell me I needed that.
PPA: Yes, I did. You need your license, registration, and proof of insurance.
Idiot: Why?
PPA: State law.
Idiot: FINE!

*an hour later*
Idiot: Here's my proof of insurance.
PPA: This is expired. This is no good.
Idiot: What? It's proof of insurance!
PPA: No, it's not. This is expired. Expired insurance is no insurance.
Idiot: But it's proof I'm insured!
PPA: No, it's not. It's expired. You need a valid insurance card.
Idiot: You didn't tell me that! I've been here for HOURS! Why do you have to make it so damn hard?!
PPA: It's not hard. It's easy. You need your license, registration, and proof of insurance.

[Lingering Grin]

I don't ret people, when my license got suspended it was easy to get back.

DMV: I need ID, Proof of Insurance, and either your Social Security Security Card or birth certificate.

Me: Here ya go.

DMV: "Thanks, $150 please"

Me: Oh I wanted a new picture too.

DMV: "No Problem, $160 please"

Me: Here ya go

DMV: "Stand there"

*FLASH*

DMV: Wait over there, it'll be ready in 5 minutes.




Done...

*flashback*

Stupid NJ DMV. Stupid 6 points of ID (one of which is NEVER an out of state ID).

I had everything and extra, and yet I still needed something else.

I'm glad I don't deal with them anymore.

How do you get six points of ID without using out of state IDs?

I've got...::counts on fingers:: two?

Though that does remind me of when Hubby was registering our vehicle in CT when we moved here. The registration department told him he needed to have a CT driver's license to register the Jeep in the state. The license department told him he needed to have CT vehicle registration (i.e. CT plates) to transfer his driver's license from Texas to here.

He finally convinced the license department to let him transfer so he could get everything else done.

Does this mean 6 different types of ID? Are there even that many available to most people? I have 3: driver's license, passport and birth certificate. My social security card says it is not to be used as an ID. And I no longer have a work ID.

Ct DMV...Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! When trying to register a car they decided that certain documents were not legally valid. Well one of the people involved in said operation worked for a attorney who specializes in traffic related cases. Attorney printed up a 1/2" stack of stuff too prove that the legal docs were legal to uses under state law.

The DMV employee actually tossed the stack of stuff on the floor and pretend to spit on it. We waked out. As we were leaving the employee yelled "fuck you."

So I do sympathize with the OP to some extent.

[Mr_Bandwagon]

Well I can prove who I am anyway

I just did a quick count of what I have on me and I have 8. Plus 2 CCs that have photos on them and a passport at home. Of course the DMV would probably only recognize 4 of the IDs and the passport.

I no longer have the list of accepted items (I know you find it online) but among the allowable are: out of state driver's license, SS card, pay stub, utility bill, bank statement, and other such like.

Each are worth a certain number of points, all of which have to add up to at least 6.

I never in my life want to go through that BS again.

[Ironclad Alibi]

I see. So it's not just IDs, but also items proving employment, residence, and so on.

[Bella_Vixen]

The real headache for Becks was, NJ accepts out of state drivers licenses, but not out of state IDs. Guess where her problem lay?
