At least he did something useful with his time - according to his lights - instead of just staring at his feet.
(I’ve never understood all this moaning about the DMV. I live in ‘the freak state’, right outside of DC; and it’s been 25 years since I’ve had to wait very long at the MVA. Ours has been working very well, so I guess even Maryland is doing better than California...)
A couple of years ago I went to the Waldorf Md DMV to title and register a car. It took me 4 hours and I had to deal with the most miserable people I ever saw.
I recently bought another car and used two separate tag and title express locations. It was like night and day, no miserable people and courteous service. Twenty minutes and ten minutes respectively, the extra fees were worth every penny.
