Passing a civil service test doesn’t mean you’re in Mensa

Going to the DMV is supposed to be a production. I get that. But what I don’t understand is how I’ve been there FIVE times and my car still isn’t registered in D.C. It’s not registered anywhere — my Virginia tags have expired and THAT’s adding a whole ‘nother layer of unparalleled rapture.

I hate how these gubmint employees treat you like shit on a shoe, when you know in your heart and mind that your IQ would dwarf theirs on any other given day. Just not the day that you need their disdain-filled help. Bastiges.

Before I rant at length, I want to introduce you to a spoof site of the D.C. DMV. Dig it:

As of February 10, 1890 all residents from Virginia must bring additional documents in order to obtain a DC drivers license or identification card.

To obtain a DC driver’s license, you will need three (4) items from the primary list, eight (8) items from the secondary list, and provide ten (10) proofs of current residence in DC.

Those items can include: Recent Whole Foods receipt, Recent O Street Giant receipt, Recent DC Police report, Recent GW Hospital statement and/or Sad, dull, and uninspired facial expressions.

While I’m at it, I could also use the Anti-Dubya plate. That is, assuming I can ever GET the fucking car registered!

Into each life, a little stupidity must fall

No, I’m not talking about the next target of the cosmic Greyhound bus (although I can see the parallel). What I am talking about is something that qualifies to take my Flying Toasters screensaver out of heavy rotation.
