Solve a disagreement…

After getting registered to vote in my new spot, I stepped into the DMV to ask a quick question about transferring a title from out of state. Took a number just in case I needed it, I was 20 away. At that point, I noticed a clerk not currently helping anyone and stepped up to her window and quickly asked and had my question answered. Probably took all of 30 seconds.

My wife (no pics) says I was wrong to do what I did and that I rudely cut everyone in line. She says I should’ve waited however long it would take for the 20 people ahead of me to be attended to.

What do you guys think?

The DMV is a free for all. Every man for himself. You did nothing wrong.

This is why you shouldn't tell your wife anything.

at our local DMV, you'd have gotten an arse whipping for cutting line.

A good wife always forgives her husband when she is wrong.

Next time send your wife into the DMV to ask the questions.

Never, ever, ever just step into the DMV on a whim because of a question. Ask friends, relatives, coworkers, search online, and throughly review their website first.

The answer you received might be correct, but don’t be surprised when the next time you show up and patiently wait your turn to transfer your title only to discover you weren’t given a complete and accurate answer.

The DMV always wins. There are no shortcuts unless you can avoid it altogether.

Asking a question is fine. Asking a question and then having the clerk provide you service is skipping the line.

This.


Honestly shocked that your wife got weird about it. My gf would have called me a dumb-arse if I took a number and waited behind 20 people to ask a simple question, especially to some lady that wasn't doing shite.

I had to a get a new tag last Friday, and there were 18 people in front of me when I got my number. I waited 5 fricking hours before my number was called. I swear to God, 1 person was at window for over two hours. What in the hell can possibly take that long?!

A hispanic dude who got called in front of me went to the window to try and transfer a title or something. The lady immediately told him he didn't have the right materials to do that, and he'd need to get the materials and come back another day. She told him that she'd print some instructions for him on what he needed. Well, it took her no less than 30 minutes to get these instructions together to print out and give to this guy.

Most miserable experience I have had in quite some time.

Can't you get in line on line?

Ohio BMV lets you check in on line, gives you an ID #, puts you in a wait line and texts you to come inside when ur number is just about ready to be called.

And you're not wrong.

Yes, you are supposed to be able to. But for whatever reason, I could not get in line on their website that day. Every time I clicked the link, it pulled up a page that said "no days available" or something like that. I'm thinking that too many people were already in the line, even though I tried to get in the line electronically at like 7:30 that morning, an hour before they even opened.
