Better educated? These people are bumblers. Tell me an IRS worker is better educated?

If my experience at the DMV is any indication of a government workers justifiable salary and benefits, then I am in the wrong business.

I went to DMV for license renewal. One requirement is passing the eye exam.

The very nice young lady, who was originally from Vietnam, asked me to read the 5th line on the eye chart.

she then asked if I wear glasses. Of I laughed and said “No, why?”

“Well you didn’t pass that line” she said.

I said “you are kidding right?”

She said she wasn’t but we needed to proceed with the left eye and again she asked I read the 5th line.

No problem.

I was then informed I had not passed the eye exam and would need a doctors prescription or a note from Epstein’s mother or something. I didn’t understand her broken English but I knew I had passed it and was re-reading the lines while she told me this.

She insisted on my getting glasses or whatever and I told her in no uncertain terms I would not be wearing glasses and I had read the lines again while she was explaining their requirements.

There is no way I failed and I could clearly see the letters.

She took a stand and I asked for supervisor, at which point she took offense to my challenging her.

Supervisor came up and immediately took sides with her underling. I told them it was unacceptable to ask me to take a test, which I passed and then insist I need glasses as a requirement to renew my license.

She said that it was a safety issue. At this point I made it clear I wasn’t coming back and that someone needed their head examined. I then repeated the lines with each eye closed and demanded they change the requirement.

They both dug in and I said I have had it.

“I want to see the most senior person here today, now” I demanded.

Some real nice lady came up and each side explained our position. She asked to me read the line again, which I did.

All of a sudden a confused look came across her face and she said I was not suppose the read the 5th line I was suppose to read the 4th line, which of course has even bigger letters.

I pointed that out and said “Great! Now can I have my license?”

She said “No you’ll need to read and pass the 4th line”.

I politely gritted my teeth “Are you serious? Obviously if I can read the 5th line I can read any line above it”.

The other two idiots had their mouths open realizing they had asked me to read the wrong line and it didn’t add up to their “DMV for Dummies” template.

The “real nice lady” took me aside and said “It’s obvious you have no eye problems” “And could I beg you a favor?”

“What, like making me waste a couple of more hours?”
“I am not going to wear glasses because I don’t need them, I just had my eyes checked and the Dr. said I have better than 20/20. Moreover, I don’t want to wear them!”

“If I where in your position I would feel the same way” she said.

“But, I work with these people and they are not from the same culture and they lean on union representatives for all kinds of invented grievances” “I will deal with them later, I promise you, but if we could give them a win....?”

“Better be quick” I said.

“You are in a private fast lane” “You will be out of here with your renewal in 5 minutes” she said.

I went back read the lines real quick so they had to keep up with me and the nice lady hand walked my results and the process to the next two stations. One of them said “Oh, you are very fast. Could you slow...”

I cut em off and said “Deal with it”

I was done in 7 minutes. Real nice lady.

Dumb Government workers and not worth whatever they are paid.
