I was going to take the California DMV off of my shitlist, having had nothing but good experiences with them the last several interactions… until today, when I was (still am) on hold approaching five hours now, “your call will be answered in the order received.”
That does sound painful and sucktacular. But why not look on the bright side? You can kill 22 minutes of on-hold time watching the appropriate and always-entertaining How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back!
("They said I probably shouldn’t be a surgeon!” “They poohpoohed my electric frankfurter!” “They said I probably shouldn’t fly with just one eye!” “I am Bender, please insert girder.")
Since the wait seems to be that long, go ahead and tell them I don’t live in their fucking state any more? Thanks ‘mouse! Beer o’clock is on me this week.
