I swear the DMV is friggin retarded. Awhile back I said I had my license suspended and had to take a driving class. Well I took the class online and everything was easy. The letter said that after I took the class I’d have to pay a $60 reinstatement fee and then I could legally drive again. So today I went to the DMV and waited..and waited. I finally got called up and the lady said my reinstatement had already gone through and I didn’t owe any money, which was the one good thing.

So I waited in line for an hour or so…for nothing. I mean I could’ve stayed home doing jack-shit, or going somewhere else. And no I didn’t know this ahead of time because the stupid letter the DMV sent made absoutely no sense.

And since I’m on the subject of driving I have to relay a story of pure idiocy I witnessed the other day. I was on a pretty major road by my house and came to a light that has 2 lanes of traffic split into 4, 2 of them are for turning. So being the smart [ie common sense] person I am I got into the far left lane knowing it’d turn and I would be straight. However a few hundred yards from the light is a cross-street that people frequently turn into. So the car ahead of me was stopped close to the beginning of the cross-street so I stopped about a car length and a half back because I wanted to give anyone who turned infront of me some room to get on the cross-street. Well not more then 30 seconds after I had done that some asshole in a fucking Suburban pulls into that area, leaving anyone who wanted to get onto the cross-street SOL. Meanwhile I went balistic, I mean I’ve never given the finger or honked the horn [even if it is a fucking weak ass sounding horn] so much at any one car before.

Because it amazes me, I mean you could clearly tell why the space was there, all the other cars were giving the same sort of distance, yet some moronic driver decides he wants to get that one car-length closer thinking he’ll make the light. Well listen up assface, that light’ll stay green for about 5 minutes, almost everyone always makes it through it, it just takes forever to actually turn green.

So the morale is, don’t be a fucking idiot.
