re: Adventures at the DMV

We just pick whoever looks like the most fun to deal with.

I remember the old days of the DMV in Metairie and the little machine you would get a number from and wait for your number to be called. I did that one time and waited like 6 hours and then quickly learned next time to pick my number OFF THE FLOOR - because people had pulled a number way before me got disgusted and threw the number down and left.

I'd grab a few discarded numbers from the floor, keep the lowest ones and then distribute the other to whoever I made friends with there while waiting. They thought I was so awesome for that, lol!

That trick cut my waiting time from 6 hours to under 2 hours.
