DMV

It's not everyday that I am so enraged over something that I feel the need to blog on the spot. Even if I ever was, I simply don't have the time. However, today I'm at the DMV, so you know that I am both pissed and I have time to kill.

I arrived for my appointment 10 mins early, and of course was sent to a line. As I wait in line, some guy starts saying that if you have an appointment there's another line, so I move to the other line (of course now I have to start at the back, but it's cool).  I then notice a sign that says "we do not take visa," as you can probably guess that's all I have, and now I need to figure out a way to pay. I look around for an ATM and consider myself lucky to spot one, but realize I must leave the line and there are several people behind me. So I ask the gentleman behind me if he could hold my spot while I go to the ATM that's 10 feet away, and he agrees (only good thing that's happened today thus far).

It's finally my turn, but as this woman is looking through my documents she tells me that I need an extra proof of reaidence...???

First of all let me just say that is bullshit! I gave her 2 separate documents with 2 different Florida addresses (I move a lot), besides I don't get paper bills, ever! I don't understand the system. If they just need proof that you do in fact live in Florida, why does it matter if the addresses aren't the same? They're both Miami addresses to boot, it's not like I'm moving across counties. Anywho, she gives me a slip of paper and says to come back with a second proof of residence. At this point I decide to drive to the nearest FedEx because I know I'm gonna need a printer. I figured I could print my last geico bill, which I normally get electronically.

I get to FedEx and there's a line for the computers, do people not work on Mondays? I wait...when it's finally my turn I log on (super slow computer) and I look up my bill, print, success! You would think I'd walk away smiling, but my over zealous ass decided to get a second bill just in case, and I log on to AT&T to print their bill. I'm hitting ok on everything and not reading a thing because I'm in a hurry and how big can a bill be? The printer starts going off and doesnt stop, at which point I look up and realize not only is this thing printing over 50 pages, but now I owe $30!!!

That's right, this DMV trip how now cost me $30, plus another $48 for the renewal. Oh! And a $3 ATM fee, bastards!

I hate the DMV!!!!!
