Genial post and this post helped me alot in my college assignement. Say thank you you seeking your information.

I've never heard of the DMV taking appointments. I sympathize with you on the picture. I had a choice of 4 shots and each one was worse than the first.

You are hilarious.

Funny, because even though I've lived in DC for more than five years, I still have my NH license. I don't have a car, so I don't see much of a point in switching. Sure, if I get married and change my name, I will, but for now, it's NH until 2013! Whoo!

I thought it was just me but I seriously think that in order to get cheap entertainment, go to the local DMV. If it's not the workers with attitudes, it's the people they are helping. No wonder there are armed guards there.

I hope you can rectify the birth certificate issue. That's got to be a pain.

GREAT post! I laughed out loud at points :-)

But I agree about the baby of the Trailer Lady with the toothless boyfriend . . . WHY is it so easy to have kids? Just because someone has the right anatomical parts should not automatically qualify them for parenthood.

Okay, I'm off my soapbox now. :-)

You always get into situations with crazy bystanders. I love reading about it.

When we moved to MN from WI we had to take our written drivers test again. I think I maybe could have gotten out of it by explaining that I had a MN license before moving to WI, but whatever, I took the test. It was weird. I felt 16 all over again.

Ugh. Well, at least it gave you something to write about, right? I got all the way to the DMV downtown last time and found out they were cash only. I have NO IDEA why. So I had to go track down an ATM that wouldn't charge me a fee (not easy downtown), then go back. I think they take credit now.

I still haven't gotten the girls birth certificates, and I live in the state capitol....lol When they were born and the clerk came to my room to fill them out, she told me they'd be mailed to me. I found out 2 years later they will be mailed.....once I request them and send a check. It's been 5 years, I should get on that.

Of the 3 states I've been a legal resident of (NY, Ohio, & Illinois). Ohio seemed to be the fastest at the BMV (Bureau of Motor Vehicles, instead of Department of Motor Vehicles). But I did live in Sandusky... I'm guessing had I lived in Cleveland, Columbus, or Cincy I would have been stuck there much longer.

People watching at the DMV does tend to be just as much fun (often more fun) than people watching at the airport.

I usually don't mind the DMV because it gives me time to get a ton of reading done. However, the last time I went I actually got in a screaming match with one of the employees. It was rad.

I started writing the whole story out and realized it was longer than I expected, so I am going to turn it into a blog post. Stay tuned. It should be up later today.

It's a sad commentary on life today that you have to get a Social Security number for your daughter before you have to get a birth certificate.

I just love your red bag in that trial pic! Please let me borrow. :)

2010-01-27T07:36:48.632-06:00

Gee, I'm glad we don't have to proved the date of our last mentstrual cycle to get our license here in Maine. It was so long ago that I can't remember--I'd be in deep doodoo!

2010-01-26T23:15:37.194-06:00

Seriously you always make me laugh. I am actually long overdue for a new license. My husband was in the military so i could reside in a different state then my license. Anyways after living in VA, CA, and now WA. I still have a VA license with my old CA address. I need to get into the DMV and hope I am only there for 30min too.
