All the stuff I needed to do needed you to be in person. I forgot to renew my driver's license and you can't do it online, you have to go in person.

I had to go in person to change my name on the license.

By and large, renewals are online. First time registering isn't.

Also it's by definition a first-hand experience with bureaucracy and paperwork, and the purpose of the person behind the desk is to help you through it. The problem is that 95% of the time, if there's some problem with the paperwork, it's YOUR fault. Like you forgot to file some form, or pay some fee, or you let something expire, or you have the wrong address on something, or your insurance isn't up to date, any number of things that are all YOUR responsibility. The only outcome from that kind of interaction is you feeling (and quite rightly) that YOU hosed up and YOU have to pay money and YOU have the ball to do the thing if you want the cookie.

People don't like being told that. They think the DMV should be like McDonald's, you go in pay your $5 and you walk out with a happy meal. They're not used to having an unsatisfying customer service experience that puts more of an onus on THEM to do something and come back later to do it all over again. And boomers and chuds are the champions of everything that goes wrong really being someone else's fault, never their own.

Hence DMV pariah status.

Boomers, and any chud in that general age area born in the 50's 60's, heck even even 70's, will have lived through an insanely more hands on human based human intensive customer service experience than anyone born in the decades after.

That actually supports both sides of the argument.

Realistically it means he's a paedophile, because people don't tend to remember much of their lives before they were 2.

But he's British, wealthy and right wing, so being a paedophile was already guaranteed.

Yes.

It should be this way.

You remember that scene in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where they were dealing with the Vogons and how they were being used as a laugh to showcase completely unnecessary and completely opaque bureaucracy?

That's the DMV.

You don't know what you need until you go to the dmv, and by the time you wait the half hour+ in line, you find out of the thirty documents you brought, thinking you had everything, it wasn't enough and you forgot something else you didn't know you needed until they told you.

It's loving stupid bullshit.

Like I said, it's easy to renew those documents online. Registration for new or expired items require you to do that poo poo in person, and the websites are old government sites; poorly designed and rarely maintained, and no one who can changes it wants to put forward the resources, and no one cares.

If someone was 2 on 9/11, they would be 21 in 2020.

He was just 17...




I'm in my mid 40s now and have been in the DMV 3 times. Once for my driving test, once to renew my license and once to update that to a Real ID. The first time it was a little packed mostly with kids taking tests. The other 2 times I was literally the only non-employee in the building.

Every single time I've gone, they have two of the 8 teller spots manned, and have at least 15 people waiting, I assume it's like that all day long.

Who's going to answer the phone? Not those two

Regardless, what mail did they send for those two instances I mentioned, because, there isn't.

Anyways, all I am saying is, most of the frustration could be avoided if most or all of the information they need was digitized and accessible without the user needing to find some form they, likely, no longer have. I am not changing my mind on that particular topic.

Even if you take the most generous reading of that statement it still betrays a deeply unhealthy and harmful attitude towards age in a relationship. Ultimately the guy is either horribly insecure about who he hooks up with or wants a social dynamic that is skewed entirely in his favour (it's this one), even illegally so.

that marketing blurb is there solely for the people who are spec-heads for anything they buy. You know exactly the type of person; the person who has the latest and greatest phone and cameras, but hasn't actually taken a photo with any of their cameras in 8 months.

Check in with them in 2 weeks and they'll tell you all about how they're waiting for the newest latest greatest camera coming out in 2 months theres no point in shooting any photos right now because that new camera coming out is going to be 1.4% better.

I've actually had great experiences with the dmv. Maybe these losers should have gotten one of the many, many careers that don't work a standard 9-5 if they didn't want to sit in line at the dmv forever with a bunch of other people that can only use it in a shared, tiny window.

Nah, better just sit there and make boomer jokes about how terrible the dmv is the four times in their life they went.

Yeah, same, in multiple locations in MN and MI. They've always been nice and helpful, even that time I had to retitle a salvage vehicle and my paperwork was a mess. DMV complaints are the welfare queens myth but for government workers.

That reminds me, I'm in NY and when I moved back here from NJ in 2008, NJ to NY they do a thing where if your license is in good standing you can provide a birth certificate+some other stuff and just exchange them without having to do all the paper work. It ended up being a little more convoluted than I just described and the wait time was long but hey it worked.

When it was time to renew they've been letting me do it completely online for increments of several years, and have let me do that since. The system is pretty cool, the only thing you have to submit to them online is the info for whoever examined your eyes most recently. So I'm good until 2029.

Anyway it's interesting because I forget from when I renewed it last, but I think in 2029 I'll be past an age cut off they mentioned where you do have to go in in person so I'm sort of curious to see if the DMV is the same stereotypical thing here it had been for me ages ago. The amount of time they let me renew it for online has always been long enough that the rules for it have been a little different each time.

It's all part of the narrative that says "if you get a government job you're set for life, they can't fire you even if you do no work. So everyone just slacks off and nothing gets done and all our taxes go to pay their fat salaries for their whole lives"

The theory being that government is uniquely pernicious in creating this atmosphere and private industry would make everything hum along better because they have to make actual profits and will fire people for non-performance.

Never mind that government entities have performance metrics too and have to meet budget goals and like, everything operates by the same rules only you don't end up with a literal mafia running your city water supply or whatever
