Thread: *&$^# DMV - a rant

Tweet

OK, now the bad news.

First, the enforcement officer lied to me. He said that the paperwork would be mailed to Richmond the next day (15 AUG). It wasn't mailed until a week later.

Second, the fact that I found the title notation on the DMV website doesn't mean that there's a completed title. Apparently, that is just the initial notation of my application, and it has to be completed by the title department when the officer's paperwork arrives.

Third: Their solution to the problem . . . wait another couple of weeks.

Fourth: I can't get plates on Friday.

Fifth: My insurance application will probably bounce.

After I hung up the phone, a quote from Conan the Barbarian came to me. I'm not exactly sure why . . . well, maybe I am . . .

What is best in life?
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

Oh, Yeesss, Jack the madness of governmental "Red Tape". Man, they have definitely been giving you the royal run around. I am pulling for ya. (as Red Greene would say)

The last good one they tried on me was that I needed a 15 year old signature on a watercraft that was traded in to a dealership and I bought it off the back lot
They said I needed the persons signature that sold it to the person I bought it from ......
Amazing enuff ,I walked right out in the parking lot and was back inside with his signature on the paper work in 5 mins The lady at the counter mentioned that most people try to sign it right there in line
Its soo bad they forge signatures right infront of the dmv workers out here

Some idiot clerk typed my wife's name as "Judity" instead of "Judith" on her drivers license. We didn't notice it for a while, but today, she went in to correct it to avoid any problems when we fly.

Even though the license was signed "Judith," and she had a half dozen IDs with the same name, they told her she had to have her birth certificate.

Them: You can't change your license without a birth certificate.
Her: Look, it was your error.
Them: We don't know that.
Her: What do you mean you don't know that. The "Y" is right above the "H" key, and it was an obvious typo. Look at my signature on this "OFFICIAL" document. It says "JUDITH!"
Them: We don't know that it's a typo.
Her: Look, here's my social security card. I have my mortgage statement. I have my insurance card. They all say "JUDITH."
Them: It doesn't matter, we need a birth certificate to change a license.

She called me (madder than a wet hen) and I took the birth certificate to the office. She's now been waiting about three hours, and had to go to the end of the freakin' line. She's still there, expecting to spend about six hours in total to fix THEIR FREAKIN' MISTAKE! Nevermind that she needs a cane to walk, and is looking at a back operation in December.

The final insult? She has to pay $10.00 to replace the license.

All I have to say is . . . bleep them and bleep the bleeping . . .



. . . they bleeping rode in on!

I find it hard to believe that Government Employees would be that inept. After all, they are vigorously screened, highly trained, and of superb intelligence.........otherwise they would not have gotten those jobs.

This video is a perfect example of just how smart they are.

my license was suspended 5 years ago for no insurance. Since then i got married. hubby was in military. When I went to dmv 2 months ago to pay all the fines and get my license back i was told that they needed my birth certificate and my marraige license. I had to go back home and drive back which is over 2 hours from where i live. I had my military ID and my ss card with my married name on it but those were not enough. When I returned that following monday i was then told that i have to get a learners permit and hold it for 30 days because they do not have a record of me ever having a license. so now i have to get up the nerve and take a **** drivers test all over again. I just love the hell out of DMV.

Why is it that EVERY state's DMV offices are staffed by blithering idiots? It's impossible to accidently hire idiots 100% of the time. Therefore, their stupidity cannot be accidental! It has to be either a very intensive selection process OR some kind of mind evaporation training. When I go into the DMV here in Tucson, you can look into their eyes and all you see is hair roots.....nothing else, no speck of a brain. But it's not just Arizona DMV, it's ALL DMVs.

We caught a break - they didn't charge her. Strange thing, though. The woman who didn't charge her is the same one who told her that she would have to pay. The woman isn't just stupid . . . she has a short memory.

Hey! I'm a government employee. (Just pullin' your chain, Don.

Of course, I'm required to have a security clearance, a master's degree and a P.E. license to work for the U.S. Navy, and I would never treat the sailors I support with that type of bureaucratic bullbleep.

And yet this morning I took a buddy down to re-instate his supended license and after taking his word for it with no paperwork or records check, he now has a legit driver's license. My mouth is still dragging on the floor.

That must be "politically correct" for "dusty butt" which is a nicer way of saying "w.. b..."

I have worked for the State of Maryland for 35 years and know a helluva lot of extremely competent fellow employees, but I tend to agree with Robot. I truly believe that the DMV's only advertise their vacancies as.."Morons need only to apply". I don't have to deal with the Md DMV, but I have to deal with PennDot, and they are truly no better.

dusty butt.... good one!

I had a host of problems with some untitled Chevys. Fortunately, I found this gal that does DMV work as she is bonded. On my 57, she had me sign a couple of forms, and was back the next morning with my registration and plates! I could not believe it. She told me that she has a standing weekly appointment with supervisor personnel for all her clients. She knows every conceivable way to fill out the forms per situation. She said that you just have to know the key-words and what not to say. I was charged $90.00 which included the registration and plates. Her fee being $40.00!!!!!!!!! I told her, "Lady, you are not charging enough"!! I wonder if someone could compile a list of these types of brokers by state to help the Hot Rod crowd out. Sure could save a few headaches.
