Just smart alec them right back. It shorts out their circuits-—they’re just not used to citizens who stand up for themselves.
To me, the Permitting office in any county is inhabited by the absolute worst incompetents...I used to call it the County Home for the Mentally Ill and Retarded. I’d give them the same ration of crap they gave me...it got to the point that they’d all run and hide when I strolled in.
They want passive and compliant folks. But they deserve only scorn.
Well, they hire people that aspire to fill out forms for a living. And then they get full of themselves. Radar O’Riley’s on gov steroids. So you know there’s nothing backing them up.
I’m sorry its that way for you.
In Forsyth County GA, the folks at the DMV are fast and polite and work hard to resolve any issues. Its hard to believe they’re government employees.
Of course, I don’t think they’re unionized...
A lot of years ago, the little town I lived in had water problems, constantly putting out "boil orders" for days or even weeks at a time. The water bills, however just kept coming as usual and we were buying bottled water before it was even cool to do so.
I argued with them, to no avail, that water bills should be pro rated to take into consideration the days when the water couldn't be used, their counter argument was that it could be used, if boiled first. If I quit paying or paid a lesser amount, they would simply cut off my water. I got real creative when I paid my bills by check, writing them payable to, the "Incompetent Water Company", Morons at the Water Company" etc. They cashed every single check without a word. It didn't affect my water bill in any way but it made me feel better. That was more than 20 years ago, I no longer live there but they still are having problems with their water.
