As always this riveting conversation just occurred in my living room regarding the DMV:
Dad: Your mother didn't get her driver's license renewed today
Me: (ok I'll bite) Why's that?
Mom: They didn't give me the new card with the new design and still charged me $20 freakin' dollars! That's ridiculous, why do they need $20? I didn't even get the new background. They didn't even make me show them the crap paperwork I had to bring.
Me: Wait, so you were going to take your papers and walk because you didn't get the new background? And they just ASSUMED that was you in your old one and renewed it?
Dad: (Through laughter and totally missing the point of how they just GAVE her a license) Did you pass the eye exam without your coke bottles?
Mom: Well, they only made me read the biggest line so yeah, but I was iffy about the road signs. I couldn't get that white and red one with the line going through the middle. That one always gets me.
Me: Uhhh you mean the DO NOT ENTER!!!!! sign?
Mom: Yeah that one
Me: THIS is why I drive the way I do.
My birthday is tomorrow so I will be heading out in this cluster fuck of a blizzard to renew my license today. Not only did I spend and extra 10 minutes on my hair but if I don't get the new background, I too, will be throwing a fit. I don't even know what it looks like but I hope it has a rainbow and/or unicorn.
