So, im at the DMV. I have to pay the sales tax on my car. I thought that because it's the middle of the month that i wouldn't get caught in a massive line for car taxes. Wrong! I went at noon. There was a line that ended at the door. So i'm being herded like a cow for what seems like a hour, but is probably just a half an hour, and then when i finally get to the front of the line, i get this nice lady who is babbling away about her grandchild who has eight different pairs of grandparents. Thats awesome and all, but i'm kind of trying to get out of here, because being stuck at the DMV is like being stuck in hell. This poor woman who was ahead of me in line was wearing heels, and i was watching her to see if she stayed still at all, and she didn't. Her feet were bopping, adjusting positions, never standing still for a moment. All i could think was, i bet you regretted wearing those heels.

Anyway, so the nice lady talking about her grandchild and her eight different sets of grandparents was taking forever. We stood at her counter for roughly 25 minutes. The people who were at the door when we got called up were at the very front of the line when we left. Internally, i was begging them to not stone me on my way out.

Another thing i hate about the DMV... Cash and Checks only. Credit Cards nor Debit Cards will work. So not only are they using an outdated waiting technique (there are fifty other better ways to service people than standing in a line for a half an hour being herded like cattle), but they have outdated ways of payment! Way to be old-fashioned DMV.
