Dealing with DMV employees

Registering a purchased used auto was a hassle back when. I like the way my adopted state handles it. You can pay your yearly 'fee' for up to 5 years and if you sell it the buyer can transfer the plates to his name and continue until your 'fee' expires & no sales tax. But the experience at the DMV is a repeat of the DMV in my old state. Mindless robots masquerading as humans. I wonder is there a factory that turns them out on contract to the state DMV offices? Or, do they get their positions after passing the written exams and failing the physiological/personality phase?
 

Never had a problem with the DMV, but I'm sure there are those that do.

Some States require a Smog Inspection before registering a vehicle and if the vehicle doesn't pass the inspection, it can cost quite a bit to repair/replace things so it will pass. Some people will go to the DMV, knowing that the vehicle didn't pass and then get pissed off at the DMV clerk when they are told the vehicle must pass the inspection in order to get registered.

Some people don't have the correct paperwork done for registering a vehicle that was bought from a private party and don't want to hear the DMV clerk say "sorry, can't help you until you get your paperwork straight".

These, and other problems people have, that get people upset with the DVM for taking so long to register a vehicle. Well, it's not the DMV's fault that people don't have what they are suppose to have when it comes to registering a vehicle!

They all have good personalities. It's the people they are serving that can make a DMV clerk's personality go bad!
 
I dunno, CR, here we have some DMV employees who seem barely conscious and if you asked them what day it is, they'd have to go check with a superior and that would take half an hour.
 

I remember from way back to my first experiences with DMV here in California having some pretty awful clerks. Hubby and I both remember one in particular,we were just talking about her the other night,nearly 50 years later lol. But now the DMV seems to be a friendlier place-almost too friendly for me sometimes.Too many people want to spend their hour at the desk talking the clerk`s ear off and they will sit there and chat right back. Ugh. Move along people lol. There are usually people who have been waiting for up to an hour,no need to be chatting about the weather....
