As if I needed more reasons to hate snowbirds and government offices

I finally got around to doing the title transfer at the motor vehicle office in Sun City, where the average age is death. I thought there would be smaller lines, and indeed, the DOT web site claimed it was only a nine minute wait.

Nein. It was a 50 minute wait, mostly 100 year olds being told over and over again that yes, you need to bring your paperwork with you, and yes, you have to pay the fees for your expired registration before getting a sticker, etc etc. One had to hear it SIX damn times.

But I digress. I'm almost done, finally, when an MVD employee yells, "Who has a motorcycle with a California license plate?" Took me a minute to register, and actually the clerk mentioned it first. "Didn't you bring this from California?"

The old dude JUST.DIDN'T.SEE.IT
