Gods help me. I am stuck at the DMV with God knows how many people ahead of me

[tymorial]

Why must people sit right on top of you when there are clearly more open spaces around? And why does this dude next to me keep inching closer.

1. Unless required to appear in person, I do all of my DMV business online!

[tymorial]

4. Sadly I am required to be here in person

Out of state transfers. If it were any other reason I would be at home or at a AAA location

[Floyd R. Turbo]

9. Sucks!

[Croney]

2. I just renewed my license online. The only down side was

they reused the same bad picture, but it was better than going in person.

22. I was advised to go to the next county over - and it was great!

Not only wasn't there a line, but the nice lady taking the photos took mine 4 times!

6. That last is a good one.

Just got to decide whether Fragrance as a Force Field should be some overpowering perfume... or BO.

10. Why choose just one? (eom)

[jberryhill]

28. If you have to go with just one....

20. I vote patchouli oil

[royable]

26. Whenever I encounter patchouli I instinctively look around to see what is covered in mold. n/t

5. I think you can call and make an appointment

[tymorial]

7. Not in RI

First thing I checked. You can in Mass.

At least i can add to my post count. Its only taken me 4 years to get this many lol. I read all the time but I use my phone.

[Totally Tunsie]

24. Somehow I knew by your OP that you were in Rhode Island.

Your experience is just so typical of RI DMV.

[donkeypoofed]

8. Do you have any games to play or book a to read on your phone?

I always make sure to have a book stores on my phone for times such as these. I was in your shoes a couple of months ago for my passport and had 2 hrs to kill. Thank heavens for Wi-Fi!!

13. Watching Bosch on my cell

[mahatmakanejeeves]

11. Are they wearing Axe? Lots and lots of Axe? NT

[badhair77]

12. Stay strong. I feel the pain.

I just did that about a month ago. I played with my phone and watched people. Sadly I could also see the clock when I did that. I also composed a letter to my state representative to complain about the service. We had metal folding chairs but at least the two people arm to arm with me were pleasant individuals. The place was packed. Ugh.

14. Heh....Raymond Reddington at the DMV

[TheRealNorth]

15. Are you in a state that requires photo I'D for voting?

I wouldn't put it pass Republicans to cut back on DMV staffing.

[tymorial]

16. This is Rhode Island

The reason why the law is in place is because of the states history of corruption. The Democrats dont seem intent upon changing it anytime soon.

17. I am free but not without a fight

They were going to send me away without my registration because they said I was blocked due to unpaid taxes. I was pissed. I havent lived here in 15 years. No way I owed taxes. I was right, they just never updated their system. Thankfully the city clerk faxed over the payment verification (from 2004).

25. In the event you took advantage of Motor Voter registration,

make a point of verifying your registration online via RI Secretary of State website.

https://vote.sos.ri.gov/

When I moved to RI, the registration never got entered and when I showed up at the polls found I wasn't registered. It was a presidential year and could only vote on a provisional ballot. You don't want to be locked out of voting.

[tymorial]

27. Sadly I was too late

The deadline was 2 days prior and I was unable to get the time off until last week.

[Totally Tunsie]

29. Awwwww,

but welcome to RI!!

[tymorial]

30. Welcome back actually :)

I was born and raised here and most of my family is still here. Inhave wanted to come back for as long as I have been away. I wasnt far; New Hampshire and Massachusetts but it wasnt the same. I truly love this state and everything about it.

18. Meanwhile at the DMV

19. I feel for you. There is almost no hell like the hell of going to the DMV.

I probably would have hung myself by now.

21. I recently was transferring ownership of a car to my daughter

at the DMV in Santa Barbara. Arrived early and was 6th person in the door at opening time. No clerks appeared until ten minutes later. Then there were only two, a man and a woman. The woman pretty much got right to work. The man.....forget it. He decided his chair needed adjusting and he spent a full 20 minutes fiddling with the height and armrests. I took photos to document this incedible waste of time. Then he took another 10 minutes staring at his computer screen before he finally waited on someone. A full 40 minutes after opening, he hadn't helped a single person. By the time my number was called by the woman, I had put in a full hour and was beyond pissed. My transaction took 2 minutes. Ridiculous.

23. Share your Experience and photos with someone at the DOT.

Experience and photos with someone at the DOT. Or perhaps a local television station that does that sort of thing.
