Okay. Some context and some ranting.

It's been a busy day, frens. Part of which included a "quick" trip to the DMV to renew the plates on my Jeep.

I tried to online option the renewal notice suggested. ACA all over again. I tried the telephonic option. I'd have better luck calling Delhi. Since I needed some VA paperwork (Another story for another time) and it's located at the same parking lot, I went in person. MISTAKE.

I arrive and about 20 people are standing around in said lot looking like lost sheep. I start to head in, and a bossy DMV drone demands to know if I have an appointment. To the walk up service. No, I replied. Your phone tree doesn't work and neither does your web site.

Again. Walk in service. I have everything, just need to pay and be on my way. No. I can't enter the building. I have to call another number (Not a number listed on the renewal notice, the website nor the original given phone tree option).

Fuck that. I might have made a scene, but I don't regret it. DMV drone goes to get a "Manager" (Great, now I'm a misgendered KAREN). Waiting on the the super DMV drone, I check the crowd, worried people now think I'm an ass. Instead, most seem relieved somebody is getting answers for this cluster fuck. Everyone is standing in a concrete parking lot as the July heat turns up. I continue to look around a d notice the pictured signs. My cool has now been lost.

Manager type arrives and spouts the exact BS you'd ecpect. I tell her this is dumb. Having a crowd not buying her BS lines gets formed, and people are finally getting to go in to handle their business. Except for the Temperature kiosk....

Yep, after having people bake in the parking lot for 40ish minutes, these genius civil servants want to take your temperature.

Unless your there to protest.....
