You know what really grinds my gears? Going to the DMV! Every single
time I go they manage to live up to and exceed every bad stereotype
you've ever heard.

I arrive, the line is out the door and snakes down along the wall, it
takes me 90 minutes to get in and get a number, just so I can go stand
in a different line for another hour before somebody will see me, all
that so I can spend 5 minutes, pay $44 and get my license renewed.

How is it that the DMV can suck so hard? We're not talking brain
surgery here folks, this is dead simple stuff. First of all, the DMV
is a monopoly, and a monopoly most of us have to deal with. With no
competition there is no incentive to improve, and since everybody
knows the DMV sucks it's not something we ever hold our elected
official responsible for. I've yet to hear anybody, anywhere tell me
they had a good experience at the DMV. So obviously it's not a local
problem. Second given the stereotypical DMV visit there are no
expectations of you as an employee, yet another incentive for the
status quo. Nate got his revenge.
