16 yo daughter has first experience with DMV

[G-Man]

Well, since school was closed due to snow, she figured it would be a good day to go to the DMV to get her learner's permit.  So she bundles up, walks to the bus, and makes her way to the DMV.  After standing in line she is asked to present ID.  She had her passport (which is a federal legal document that is accepted all around the world as proof of identification, which includes a picture, DOB, state and country of residence), as well as having her birth certificate.  Not enough proof of ID she was told.  She was told she needed as social security card (the most counterfitted form of ID, BTW).  So, back out in the cold and is awaiting a bus at the busstop.   

Welcome to adulthood, sweetheart!!!!!

I don't know about NY but the VA-DMV is an absolute nightmare to deal with.

Here in Florida it's about as bad. My wife went to renew hers last June, what a PITA that was. I finally got in an argument with the pompous little ass, asked him what the problem was and got the same thing....her birth certificate didn't have an official seal on it. I said I wanted to speak to the head of that office, which he didn't want to do....just wanted to let me speak to his super. I told him the branch manager....NOW, OR ELSE!  He asked what that meant, I told him I retired from the State of Fla. after 30 yrs. and made more than a few friends during that time....and they're still employed there. He went and got the manager, who took one look at the document and said that's fine. Then explained to the jerk that back in the 30's when she was born out in the country, they didn't always get the certificate stamped with an official seal. Especially if born at home...which she was. I thanked the mgr. profusely, then told her I had the same problem coming up in a couple years. Then told her it was good enough for the State to give me my retirement and SS to give me that little stipend. She told me it will be good enough in her office as well. We shall see.

Just wait until goverment gets a toe-hold on healthcare. The effeciency of the DMV along with the compassion of the IRS

[Marcel]

Well the cheaper part of Health Care under the Affordable Health Act.

Will be that you won't be able to access the health care you were used to.

Not even the illegals that purportedly used the Emergency Room as their Primary Care Doctor.

Will be able to get the health care free like they did in the past.

People will litarally be dieing to see a physician, problem solved.

We are idiots.

corey's social security card did not have his full middle name so they made him go and have the social security card changed to match his birth certificate and passport

Kike has my sympathy, make her some hot chocolate when she gets home

No kidding Mark.  Up here in No VA, you can actually meet half the population of El Salvador.... they live at the VA DMV. 

So long as I don't screw up, I can do virtually all of my business with them as renewals, on line without ever going to the spanish-speaking building.

We named her Kike in the same manner Black people use the "N" word.  We feel if we Jews use it, and don't allow others to, then we own it and it can't hurt us.  My son's name is Christ Killer but we call him C.K. for short.   My wife, who is from Jamaica has a pet name for me...."N" Lover! 


Juuuuuust kidding,  Her name is Kikelomo, nigerian for child born to love.  Her father is nigerian (I'm her stepfather, Daddy).  Kike is pronounce Key-Kay.

WOW!  You had me going for a few seconds!      

That was a great answer!  I’m sure you’ve had fun with it before.  Unfortunately text doesn’t have a built-in pronunciation key, so it did look unusual.  

You look like a very happy family.  Nice earring, BTW!!  

(OK, I know it’s the lamp in the background)

ROTFLMAO

Loved the response Gary but of course I saw it coming as soon as I posted that someone would rise to the bait

She is truly a beautiful young lady and like all teenagers..........doesnt give messages What do you expect from a 16 yr old

If I had a gallon of gas for every time my kids failed to tell me someone called or stopped by I could ride my Valk to Alaska and back

I hope you used this as a teaching moment and reminded her that she will get to visit that wonderful place numerous time throughout her life.  I personally hate the DMV and wish that I never had to go there.

[fudgie]

G-man that was great! 

We have a regular here at work- a person we go on all the time. I was in uniform when him and his mom were in the DMV. I believe they were trying to title a car. He didnt have the right signature in the correct spot so they wouldnt do it. He got up a slung his O2 tank knocking over the metal poles that help form the lines. Said a few F bombs about this place and walked out. He is a 6', 300 lb, Sons of Silence member. (1%er club in the midwest) You shoulda saw the faces of them employees!  Him and me are cool but I beat him outta there so we wouldnt have to treat him!

I bought a trailer from Texas... a non-notary state... a few years back. 

The trailer was built in Colorado... a notary state. 

I went to the DMV to register it, and was told I need a notarized bill of sale due to the Colorado title, even though I had a Texas bill of sale.  I'm not about to fly to Colorado to get a document notarized, so I was never able to register the trailer. 

Then, Louisiana changed the law... notary is no longer needed.  I tried again to register the trailer.  I was then told that it'd cost me $500 worth of penalties due to me not having the trailer registered for 2 years.  I explained that it was the DMV that never allowed me to register... but that made no difference.  They wanted to charge me $500 in penalties for THEIR stupid rules. 

The trailer is STILL not registered.

Trailers are always a problem.  I bought a motorcycle trailer in Utah and brought it back to Nevada.  Trailers under 750 pounds are not registered in the state of Utah.  Took me over a year to get it titled and registered.  The vin stamped on the trailer was the same as a 1929 Ford model A from the state of New York.  It did not seem to matter that the DMV rep was looking at a single rail motorcycle trailer.  Another time I bought a trailer in a box, like the ones from Harbor Freight.  I bought it from Lumberjack during their going out of business sale.  Their DMV permit to sell vehicles had expired so the DMV would not recognize the bill of sale and that one took 3 months to work out.

I only keep one of my 3 homemade trailers registered.  If you don't KEEP them registered - when you do, you have to pay for all the years the trailer was never on the road, plus a $25 fine for each year.  BS.  When I need to register them - IF I do - it will be a brand-new homemade never-registered trailer, and they can issue me a new VIN for it.  The old one I gave to my brother who moved away...  But I'll probably just move the plate between trailers, since they are all homemade and the registration doesn't differentiate.  I'm not a fan of gov't and unfair taxes.  Paying for road use taxes for a trailer which has not been on the road for years?  Or if it is used, it's to go get a load of wood once every 2 years and the rest of the time it's just a movable firewood pile.  I don't think so.

A guy, a fellow I work with adopted  a little girl named Kikiana.

She named her self  Kiki.

She is her self and fine with being adopted,,,  Kiki and is happy as hell and no regrets as well.

So she is now on her own as a young Black Child with a new family and happy.

She tells her teacher that it is OK to call her a Black ,,,, and not a African American.

God Bless her for her for calling her self what she is and not something who she is not.

I am sooooo glad for the pronounciation guide, Gman. I would have gotten it wrong for sure. In the 60's as a kid, I lived a few minutes from you in Port Chester, NY where the neighbors were Mr. Goldman & Silverberg and landlady was Mrs. Katz, etc. Unlike here in WI, would've had a hard time getting attendance at a Friday Night fish fry and I am sure nobody would've pronounced your daughter's name correctly. I thought I was a minority group until the family moved back to Wisconsin
