DMV
Whit
,
DMV - Three letters I hate to see together. I waited patiently long (some might say too long) beyond the time I should have waited for my car registratio renewal to come in the mail. I LIKE renewing my registration online.
It never came.
Today, under threat of death (by my husband who wouldn't recognize the inside of the DMV...), I first had the car inspected (it passed) $15 and then made my way to the court house for what I thought would be an ordeal. It wasn't. Ten minutes and $105 later I was the proud owner of an 06 sticker for my license plate.
They had my address wrong. Last year I got it in the mail. This year my address is wrong??
I'm hot and tired. I live in a city that is too hot or too cold and very rarely is Goldilocks happy with the weather here.
Do any of you have DMV stories? Other red-tape tales? I'll bet you an 05 sticker that yours is more entertaining than mine!
EEEeek. Well, I did a dumb one this year. It was after my birthday and I freaked out cause my license expired. I went to the DMV and stood in line and filled out the paperwork and got up there and the guy laughed and pointed out that what I THOUGHT said 2005 actually said 2006. So, I get to go through it all again next year.
I break out in hives at the mere mention of the DMV, just ask Cyndy. When I moved to TN they didn’t update their database like they’re supposed to, so when I moved back, over a period of about a year, they tried to: fine me $1500+ for not having my car registered in MD while it was registered in TN; fine me for not having my car insured in MD while it was insured in TN; and had the MD state comptroller’s office investigate whether why I didn’t pay MD state taxes while I was living in TN. And since they hadn’t entered the information that I had been out of state they couldn’t figure out how to issue me a new MD driver’s license since their database thought I had never left. That took 3 long visits over a week and a half. I almost became a CNN news story when after all that the little man taking driver’s license pictures said “Oh come on, you can smile better than that!” My friends will tell you that I avoid confrontation like no other person, but the last time the DMV sent me a letter trying to fine me for another mythical infraction I called them and apparently scared them enough that they put me on hold for a few minutes and then came back and said the issue was suddenly taken care of, and I haven’t heard from then in awhile. Deep cleansing breaths...deep cleansing breaths...
OH NO!!! Okay, I guess I need to send you the sticker. You are the champ!! That's just horrible.
Hey, I've been in the DMV once or twice.
One time my license had been expired for several months. Like, maybe a year. The lady behind the counter said "Have you had any tickets while your license was expired?" I said no, and she gave me a new one. That was it. I think maybe I waited in line a minute or two. Maybe not.
Show off. No sticker for you.
What does DMV mean? I feel excluded from this conversation.
the office here in logan is really good, no lines usually.

Thanks. That helps me a WHOLE lot, but thanks...
It's where you get your driver's license. You learn the name really well when you turn 15.
Horrible, daesme... At least you'll get some knitting done!! I need to remember to carry my bag with me.
You peoples are phsycotic, just so you know. Thanks ANONYMOUS, that helps me a lot more then the PIRATES deffinition (But now I know what it means...)
Lol...I wish I didn't know what the letters meant. Don't worry, you'll become aquainted with them all too soon...he he he.
THANKS, you sound so sorry for me.
