The M.V.A.: Morons or assholes?

[SpeedRacer 1]

<>well, the Motor Vehicles administration won't let me renew my tags, even though I paid off that old parking ticket three weeks ago. It seems the geniuses at the MVA can't figure out how to update the info on their computers. So even though they called the Citations Bureau & heard that yes, in fact, I had paid off the ticket, it wasn't showing up on their computer.

So giving me my registration tags was for them, a bureaucratic impossiblity. So I've already got one ticket for having expired tags because the geniuses at the MVA can't figure out how to update the info in their computer.

For the last two days I've had to run over there during the work day & spend hours trying, unsuccessfully, to straighten this shit out.

where does the MVA find those ingenius employees anyway?

ah fuck it. It's Friday, I don't have to go anywhere. After all that bullshit I feel like having a drink or six.

there is a hell i've been there is spell it DMV and anyone whos seen it knows exactly what i mean.... call it pointless...

well you could have sat in line for 2 hours only for the statewide computer DMV system to crash 10 min before your number was called.. so instead i got an 'expedite' letter and get to wait till Monday before i can really go anywhere since my tags just expired yesterday.... lovely.....

bumping this up for Conundrum.

still haven't gotten my tags yet. this morning I went to the district court to obtain a receipt for having paid off that old ticket 3 weeks ago. They said it would take two weeks to come in. So the District court, the MVA (called the DMV in some states, different letters, same assholes), and the Central Violations Bureau are all passing the buck & giving me the runaround.

Complete bureaucratic impossiblity.

The violations bureau agrees verbally that I did in fact pay back in Sept 13, but for some reason it isn't their policy to send the correct form to the MVA.

I showed up to get my liscence renewed once and they told me that it had been suspended for over a YEAR! Apparently a book keeping mix-up on a ticket I a paid well over a year before that, so the burden of proof was on me to prove that I had paid it, which I eventually did. How do you go a year with a "suspended liscence" and not even a notice to let me know?

P.S. I just got called up for jury duty. How do I get out of it?

that's easy. one way is to tell the lawyers they should pick you because you can tell when someone's guilty "just by lookin' at 'em!"

the other way is to act really intelligent, and maybe talk about your graduate degrees, or something. At least one of the lawyers will disqualify you, because the last thing they want is a smart person in the jury.

Don't try to get out of it, unless you really need to. Otherwise, someday you'll be judged by the morons who couldn't figure out how to get out of jury duty, or else taxes will go up to pay for the new jurors who can only be bought.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Look the defense attorney up and down, then point to him, turn to the guy next to you and declare loudly, "Man, that guy looks guilty!"

i sooo feel your pain, having spent hours dealing with them.

i think its a universal fact that DMVs (or BMVs or MVAs.. depending on where from) are all full of incompetent individuals who are unable to think for themselves. Its government bureaucracy at its best. I have spent way too many hours trying to get registration, update my license, or get my tickets paid. And of course each division within is unable to talk to each other so you just stand in one line after another. And you have absolutely no say as they have you by the balls

And then for some reason I alwasy seem to go when every oddball in America is there... its almost comical.
