I get to the DMV when they open at 8am and 5 people in line already. Everytime I go there, I swear only 1 person that works. It took me an hour and a half to get a dmv print out. Not only do they need more workers at the dmv, they need people who dont have attitudes like they have sticks up their butts. I see why some people go crazy in the news and pull a Grand theft auto in the DMV.

Well, I was 17 I think and went to get my liscense renewed...my parents had taken my car keys until I got my liscense renewed since it'd been out of date for a couple months so I had my friend drive me over there. Since I wasnt driving I didn't wear my glasses since I can see decently without them, they just help a bit for far away stuff. I went and waited for the requisite hour and finally got up to the stupid lady. I told her I needed to renew my liscense, did all the stuff you gotta do until she said that I'd have to do the vision test. I told her I'd fail because I didn't have my glasses and she made me take it anyway. Of course I failed and then she proceeded to tell me that I could not get my liscense renewed until I passed the test. I got mad at her, explained I wasnt even driving and that she could just put the restriction on my liscense and let me go on my way, but no...after a bit of arguing I called her a ***** and told her she was being outrageous...she then offered to call the officer on duty over and have me arrested...at which point I called her a ***** one last time and left. I went home, got my glasses, waited in line again, and then the next lady who was VERY nice (must have been new) didn't even make me take the gosh darn vision test and renewed my liscense hassle free. Oh, and I've been working on my anger management issues and havent called any MORE DMV people names recently :D

hahahahahahahaha maybe they do get paid more

i dont see what they can get mad about they work from like 10-4 (in my area) and get so many benifits its almost impossible for them to be fired. I am pretty sure they get paid pretty well too. so awsome hours and tons of benifits and i would think good pay, what can u be mad about. so what do they do, they just abuse it and so they act like A S S holes.

A friend of mine was on the phone with the DMV at work. At one point he said something like "If I did my job as poorly as you do yours, I'd be down there at the DMV working with you." :D

Anyway, in my experience DMV employees are often surly. On the other hand, the people who work at my local post office are surprisingly polite. Perhaps they realize I can always go to Fed Ex or UPS to get stuff mailed.

The DMV doesn't seem to be particularly concerned with customer satisfaction...after all, it's not like they have competition. If the PA DMV sucks, it's not like I'm going to take my "business" to New Jersey.

Hehe - I remember that when I was at the Driver License Center I was asked to "swear" that all the info was true - I burst out laughing...the official looked mighty pissed off indeed ;)

In the UK we never get asked to do anything like that and I just thought it was so over the top for a frigging driving license.

I said "well normally a signature is good enough"....

reason they are so stupid is because

A) they see hundreds of white trash people every day, who's to say your not gonna be another one??

B) Government organizations such as the Dmv, post office, social security office aren't paid to give a $hit about you. The government takes care of their pay and the gov't knows that you will ALWAYS need the dmv. Like someone said "its not like i can take my dmv business to another place" trust me, they would rather you do that.
