Went to the DMV (department of motor vehicles for all you foreigners out there) and was there for 3 hours!!! There was a line around the building.. It took me over an hour just to get to the Start Here front desk and get my number...
When I got up to the desk I noticed there was only one person reviewing paper work and giving out the numbers. There is usually 2 people there. They could have easily pulled another employee from somewhere to sit at the front desk. That way people dont have to stand out in the 100+ degree sun for an hour or two.
Anyway after an hour & a half of standing out in the sun, I get my number and get to sit down.. I put my headphones in, listening to music and playing a game on my phone but the person sitting next to me kept trying to make small talk. I didn't really have any interest in talking to a stranger that I will never see again especially while I was in a foul mood resulting from the 1st part of my DMV visit. I told him Cant you see I am not interested in idiotic small talk (after I a few times of me taking out my headphones out and saying WHAT?! then gave a one word answer to his statement and put my headphones back in & went back to playing my game). He called me an asshole and went to sit somewhere else. Oh well, I did feel like being an asshole at that moment.
As the hours of waiting were going by I was getting increasingly nervous as I had to stop by a job-site (my 2nd job) to pick up some keys for work on Tuesday then I had to be at my real job by 2pm. I finally got out of the DMV by 1:30.. Zoomed over to the job-site and got the keys and made it to work by 1:59pm... One minute to spare.
What was really frustrating was all I needed to do was show them that I got insurance so they could give me my new registration card and tag (sticker) for my license plate. I only talked to the dmv employee for 2 minutes but it took me 3 hours to get to her.
I hate the DMV! They used to be open 6 days a week.. Now only 4 due to budget cuts and its always jam packed full of people. Even people with appointments have to wait forever..
