The DMV is Hell on Earth 🔥 Who Can Relate?
Summary
A woman recounts her nightmare day dealing with bureaucracy, starting with a DMV employee who nearly denied her license renewal over a debit card statement versus a bank statement technicality. The hostility peaked during the eye test when the worker snapped, "Is you taking baby steps? Get over there. Take two grown ass steps." She was on the verge of tears. The contrast? When she went to the library afterward expecting similar hell, they asked her to simply write her name on what she describes as "a ragged ass piece of toilet paper" and handed over a card. Kareem suggests a brilliant solution: force DMV and library employees to swap jobs every two weeks. She's all in.

I was at the DMV trying to get my license renewed and the woman was so fucking mean to me. And, uh, she tried to not allow me to renew my license 'cause I had a debit card statement and not a bank statement. And then I got all flustered and stressed out about it.
And when it was like you were going to cry? Yeah, I was legit going to cry 'cause she was like abusive. When it was time to do the, uh, the eye test, she was like, "Take two steps back." So I took like two small steps back 'cause I was afraid of failing it. And she goes, "Is you taking baby steps? Get over there. Take two grown ass steps."
So you were shamed. You were shamed by the DMV lady? Yes. Uh, I went to the library after I went to the DMV 'cause I was trying to get a library card. And she was like, "You got to bring all this." I brought like a dossier with all my credentials. And she was like, "Just write your name on this ragged ass piece of toilet paper. We'll get you a card, baby."
I think that library employees and DMV employees should have to switch jobs every two weeks. 100% agree. But why?
