What grinds your gears?

My DMV had probably 75-100 people waiting, but they also had all 15 or so desks manned at least.

Xcel. Power went out at 6:35 this morning for no apparent reason. Call at 9AM, they say it will be back on by 11. Call at 11:15, they say 12. Signed up for the automated call about a different time to expect the power on. Got a call at around 1 saying it would be back on by 6. Came on at 4. FFFFFFUUUU Xcel.

^Hey, they said it would be on by 6 and it came on 2 hours early? What more do you want?! LOL!!!

Man I love going to the DMV in uniform. I went there to register the Pathfinder yesterday, got there around 435 and was out probably 15 minutes later LOL. It actually wasn't that busy though anyway, but they have a couple military-in-uniform only desks so that always helps. I think I waited about 2 minutes before being seen. Sorry guys HAHA. Although I did have to pay $834 in taxes, registration and the 2% fee for using my debit card haha.

Yea the Airport one is the one I was at and they have the special queue just for uniformed military. I was there on a Monday morning just as they opened a couple weeks ago and it only took 35 minutes. But when I got up to the desk I found out that my bank had given me an unreadable copy of one of the forms where split it onto two pages right through the middle of the VIN. Then I had to wait for a replacement form and go back and it was an hour this time.

Oh well, at least I have Netflix on my phone to pass the time.

Nice, ha ha....I didn't realize military got preferential treatment. That's cool...

Oh yeah, the 2.7% card fee grinds my gears too. Luckily they accepted a check as the second form of ID...dodged that bullet.

Yea the DMV is really the only place I still write checks, heh. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay 2.7% extra just so I don't have to write a check.

I just wanted to leave there with actual plates to put on the vehicle, so I just bit the bullet and paid the additional 2.7%. It sucks, but at least I don't have to worry about it anymore.

Following that slow a** that creeps up the accelleration lane at 30 mph and then just dives into 70 mph traffic slowing everyone on the interstat down and putting you in a ridiculously dangerous position behind him. :mad:

P.S. Someone may have already said that, but it needed saying again!

Hearing that my friend was forced by his wife to sell his dream car, a 91 MR2 that he has had for years. They have two kids but they have a Civic and a Pathfinder so they already have plenty of vehicles for hauling the family around. She said "I'm sure he'll get a replacement later in life" (meaning never). The kicker? She just spent 5 grand on a boob job a few years ago. Yet he is supposed to sacrifice his car for the family when it's paid for and not costing anything? Bullshit.

I always renew online when possible. This time I had to go there to process the title paperwork from the lease changeover and just paid for my plates while I was there.

Ha ha, that sucks! Fake boobs? Well, technically those were a gift for him

For every 'bad' wife, there's a good one. Mine just let me buy something I didn't need (which is why I was at the Clerk/dmv). Though, there's no kids in our household. Win-win? Heh.
