They always act like it's lovely to be there and wasn't I nice to come by! Never saw that before.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that I cry EVERY TIME I go to the DMV. There's always an issue and I never get out of there without them making me feel like a piece of crap. I have so many stories and really not enough room in your comments section to post them. Lucky you. <BR/><BR/>Hang in there and remember the old cliché - I'll just let you guess which one... <BR/><BR/>~bbrandi (and tim)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13599241108975382864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23566989.post-54927730320502775982008-03-26T21:14:00.000-07:002008-03-26T21:14:00.000-07:00Oh no - another victim of the curséd Massachusetts...Oh no - another victim of the curséd Massachusetts RMV! I had a similar experience when I renewed my license here. If it makes things any better, it's not just you. Abysmal (or even deliberately insolent) customer service seems to be a job requirement.<BR/><BR/>And you're not the only one who suffers from unexpected bureaucracy-related meltdowns. I for one think it admirable - nay, remarkable - that you've had so few since your return to Boston. In case I haven't said it before, I'm glad you're back. (And maybe I'll even manage to see you amid the throng at church some day and tell you that in person!)Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08137545575691589161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23566989.post-6953197513922558982008-03-26T20:57:00.000-07:002008-03-26T20:57:00.000-07:00To be fair, you did mention that she was pregnant,...To be fair, you did mention that she was pregnant, which means her hormones are whacked right now. So she <I>could</I> be a perfectly nice, curteous person who's just temporarily being betrayed by her body. Maybe she would normally have been the sort of sun-shiney person who just makes your whole day better, but you just happened to draw the short straw out of fate's coffe-cup this morning and got her on a bad day.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, the DMV <I>is</I> a government monopoly, so what you got might also just be par for the course.aporitichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18264347884017012927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23566989.post-68172742275026439242008-03-26T17:40:00.000-07:002008-03-26T17:40:00.000-07:00Aw, Miss Katie..... this breaks my heart.
