New License Plates

[foxgrrl]

So, I finally got the license plates for my new car (purchased back in March). Unfortunately, every single time that I go to the DMV, I get stuck in some absurd catch-22. (That's why I couldn't get my renewed driver's license for three years.) This time it seemed pretty simple: Go to the DMV office, and pickup the new plates. Except, that they wanted me to surrender my old license plates... which I didn't have... because I just purchased this car new, and there are no plates on it. They wanted me to come back sometime later, when I would, mysteriously, have some license plates to turn in. As my plates were sitting there in the office, I didn't think it likely that I would someday receive them, so that I could turn them in for themselves.

Anyway, I used my spooky fae mind-control powers to get the clerk to just give me the plates. (I should have been doing this more often in the past to bypass bureaucratic stupidity.)

Please note however, that while I selected, 'should never be used on a sentient being', I do not believe DMV workers are sentient beings so I fully support Jedi mind trick baseball bats, or whatever else it takes.

For a second, I thought you were talking about the Virginia DMV...

Do what you have to do to get the job done.

By the bye, it is odd that the dealership did not give you at least temporary plates.

Bear in mind, you're ultimately saving the DMV extra work because you didn't have to come through yet again to take up someone else's time and effort sorting it out.

This wasn't a serious poll, was it?

Oh dear.

Well, I don't consider jedi mind tricks magic. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
