- The DMV attracts a potpourri of people. And not necessarily in a sweet smelling way.
- Chloe and I spent the entire
time whispering so as not to get our butts kicked from humorous comments gleaned from people
mocking watching. We also tried to laugh quietly and wipe our laughing tears before they
ran down our cheeks.
- The sign that says NO
ABUSIVE LANGUAGE OR CONDUCT is up for a reason. This has probably been a
problem at some point…..possibly it is a daily problem…..and I think I know
why.
- Most of the people that work
there seem very crabby. Nothing you do will remedy this
situation.
- The first thing Chloe said to
me was, “I don’t think I like it here.” (I hear ya, kiddo.)
- There were several large wads
of human hair under the chairs in front of us. I can only imagine the
circumstance that caused them to appear.
- All signs are handwritten and
stuck up with tape. Can they not order appropriate signage? At the very least, does no one there have a computer and printer? Or access to a laminator?
- We hoped for “sunglasses on
her head lady” because she seemed the nicest. We hoped against “handwritten
cashier sign lady” because she was very frowny faced.
- We heard “sunglasses on her
head lady” say to the man in front of us, “If you don’t have that part
memorized, it’s written on the wall.” What?
- It was hard to figure out
when we were going to be next. F 229, F 230, H 111, B 124, H 112, H 113, A 145, F 231.
We were F 231…..which should follow directly behind F 230. This is not the
case. I think they do this to keep us off balance and make sure they somehow have a mental advantage.
- At one point someone was
called to “Window 10.” This must’ve been a super secret window because there
were only windows 1-6.
- While Chloe was taking her vision test and reading off line 5 “sunglasses on her head lady” (Yay! We got her!) was
in no way paying attention to her answers. She was instead filling out a form.
This makes me a smidge concerned that many of the people on the road may not actually
be able to see the road.
- Roaming DMV workers wore
lanyards with laminated name badges. We were impressed that they were not
handwritten with stick figure pictures.
- Three lanyard wearing workers
were needed to help translate a test for one person.
- Apparently speaking English
is in no way a requirement to get a driver's license.
- The handmade “No Cheating” type sign was the
only sign where highlighter was applied to stress the importance of said sign.
However, a man taking the test, opening his wallet, and reading off a card was
in no way reprimanded, even though there was a official lanyard wearing man nearby.
- Chloe immediately used hand sanitizer when we got to the car. Please note that we are not normally hand sanitzer using people. Such was the icky.
- Chloe passed with a
100%. I’m sure some people pass with a D-. These are the people with whom we share the
road.
- All's well that ends well.
