Next stop ... Whammy Burger.
Part of me sides with her. ;)
After careful consideration...I can see her point.
Try finding a jury to convict.
Been there, done that.
Oh wait...
Our DMV has seats and a take a number thing ,you sit there and enjoy the free entertainment of all the people coming and going ,LOL
I think we can all sympathize with her.
It was Kansas. That’s a time honored method to make the little doggies git movin’ along.
And in her defense, she did fire into a mulch bed. That’s the responsible way of firing a warning shot.
I have been to several ‘dmv’ offices in the KC area and they are usually processing people at a decent speed. I’ve waited much longer in a Dr’s office with absolutely no one else in line.
The real problem is people who don’t bring the proper documentation. They are what holds up the line.
DMV is one government department ripe for privatization/decentralization. We already have every high school giving driver’s ed and plenty of private driving schools. Just let them give the final tests and issue the licenses, then register the licenses they issue with the state.
The state can then just do spot checks to make sure they are validating peoples’ identities and testing properly, and if they fail, they lose the privilege of issuing licenses.
As long as she had the proper permit, filled out in triplicate, her PIN and drivers license numbers, birth certificate copy and urine and DNA sample I suspect the DMV workers were fine with this.
Well, I know how she feels.
“Dance!”
In our small town there’s often no one ahead of me. At most, one or two.
I once spent an entire 8 hours at a DMV, partially because they screwed up and made me wait in the same line twice (nice way to own your mistakes, right?).
So I can understand the frustration.
Yes, this was in California.
For those of you who don’t know, most of the drivers license offices in Missouri (THE Kansas City is in Missouri, not Kansas) are actually run by a non-profit organization that makes its money by getting a fee for every DL and license plate renewal issued. In big cities they may well be run by the Department of Revenue—being KC, I wouldn’t doubt it.
In my smaller town experience, the people who work in the office are a bit frazzled by whom they deal with, but otherwise pretty nice and efficient. Demanding to get to the front of the line...I would vote to convict.
I’m sure that got their attention, but this is widely considered to be bad form.
As if that will make the line move faster.
I bet they moved faster then!................under desks, behind filing cabinets, out the windows!................
DMV is what it is because it’s run by government. There is no competing DMV that you can go to if you don’t like the official one. They’re all the same. Employees are actually on welfare, except that everyone goes along with the illusion that they actually have a job.
Government uses the DMV office to reward certain constituents for their support. In return, they are expected to show up most workdays, and to look semi-alive. They will be fired only if they offend a certified victim higher up on the victim scale than they are. Otherwise, they will be there until they retire and collect more than you make while actually working.
