Does it suck to go through the DMV? Yeah, but look at it the other way. Try sitting there all day and half the jackasses that walk thorugh the door are pissed off to begin with because they hate the fact that they have to stand in line, think they are above it and don't want to write out a check for whatever transaction they are doing. Half who get to the counter dont have the form filled out correctly and about a quarter cant speak english in the first place.

Regardless of how fast you process these things the line never stops, and it still does not move fast enough to satisfy the people waiting in it. And when most of em get to the front of the line, if something was screwed up with the form they got in the mail, the person will yell at the guy behind the counter as if it was his fault. You could not pay me enough to do that job. So all I do is have my shit together when I get to the front of the line, pay my fee and get out of there without trying to cause a headache. And if more people in front of me would do the same thing the line would move faster for everybody.

If I was doing that job and if a 20 yr old came up to me thinking he was a baller, tried to "put me in my place" and treat me "like a dog", I would jump over the counter and beat him to a bloody pulp because I see way to many just like it on a daily basis.

Its probably a little better here than in NYC, but last time I waited in line for an hour, and the delay was not so much because of the employees, it was the 100 retards in front of me. Including the lady who only had $11 to pay for her $14 license and decided to through a fit for 20 minutes demanding she should get one anyway. After about ten "Z" finger snaps and waving her head from side to side lecturing the guy behind the counter, I was ready to tear her head off. Cops got there and tossed her ass out.
There's always a flipside to the story. Thanks for this perspective. I guess working in the service industry means your main job is to serve the customer. Dumbass or not, they are paid to process your paperwork. I do agree sometimes the persons that deserve the wippin are the customers.

WOW, I read all of these replys and I must be the only Afican American, Black or as Scot put it "nigga" reading today.

As acomedian once said about mexicans taking jobs others don't want, "you can't pay a white man to hand you an orange in the grocery store, so why would he pick them"

Who on this forum wants to work at the DMV for 17K a year, it would take your whole career to get to 50K. Or do you guys just like taking up for white people you think should have a low pay, low intellegence job instead of the low pay low intellegence black person with the job.


and as far as the overweight thing, the whole country is overweight. I travel for a living and I go to rual america quite a lot. these are some of the fattest white people I have ever seen, are they lazy, who knows, but it could be diet, lifestyle. genes, or many other factors. I wonder why I take the time to think about different solutions to a problem instead of just picking the easiest one.

At any rate i'm rambling now like I did in the all white college I attended whenever they said something stupid and I, being the only black in the class, had to take up every battle. I wonder what it's like to be able to say anything without facts or figures and be regarded as right.........I guess thats how new coke got made.

Speaking of minorities, take a gander at this article

http://www.dailybruin.ucla.edu/news/...s.asp?id=38302

Watch out white boys!

Also, did you know no UCs are allowing any new Asian fraternities to start up on their campuses? Maybe the white boys didn't want their secret fraternities' ass paddling, dong-tied-to-brick throwing, peanut-butter-in-diapers-for-a-whole week pledging exclusivity to be compromised. Just kidding, I love white frats.

I hate generalizations. And threads based on them.

How come this thread died off? I hope you guys read the article from the link posted above. I didn't mean to scare off anyone frightened by the truth.

Are you sure I don't know how to write well, I don't see any errors. I notice you didn't quote any. maybe you don't know the kings english as well as you think you do, and I bet you are the first in line to support these english only speaking bills that state governments are trying to sweep through local munucipalities at an alarming rate.......checkmate.
