Rackin' frackin' DMV.
I don't drive, but I have an ID card. I moved a while back and hadn't updated my address yet, but with needing to get a passport for the Vancouver Stargate convention, I wanted to get my updated address sticker so I could go down and apply for my passport.
I submitted my change of address online, and it said as long as I have a valid ID I'd get a new sticker to put over my old address in the mail in a couple of days (getting a new address sticker is free, as opposed to paying $26 for a whole new ID - since it doesn't expire until 2014 I don't see the point of wasting the money).
So what does the DMV do? They send me a form letter telling me that my driving privileges aren't valid, which DUH, that's why I have an ID card and not a driver's license, and that I shouldn't drive and if I have a license card it needs to be turned in, etcetera. They sent the letter to MY OLD ADDRESS. If I hadn't signed up for mail forwarding, I never would have known that these incompetent morons can't find their way out of a wet paper bag.
I specifically entered my ID card number in the online form. Their database was able to pull up my identity and old address by using this ID card number. Yet, for some reason these asshats think that I'm asking to update a non-existent driver's license instead of the FUCKING ID CARD WHOSE NUMBER THEY USED TO GENERATE THEIR STUPID FUCKING FORM LETTER. RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. ::foams at the mouth::
I've never had an Oregon license. NEVER. I've only ever had an Oregon ID card. WTFH????????? I HATE THE OREGON DMV. ::foams at the mouth some more::
Now I have to waste my time calling these jackasses on Tuesday, because guess what? Even though yesterday was the real MLK day, they're closed today AND Monday for the holiday. How do those bastages get two days for one holiday, after the holiday is over, no less? How do they even get the day off when everyone else has to work (exception: bank folk), let alone get two days? If calling doesn't clear up the problem and I have to go down there in person I refuse to be held responsible for the death and destruction that will occur.
OR DMV: I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU. /john cleese
