15 minutes (30 minutes total) sounds like light-speed compared to the San Diego area DMV offices. Do they speak English in the Napa DMV?

The New Hampshire DMV offices I've been to have been great. Years ago I tried to get a vanity license plate that said "BITE ME" and the older lady behind the counter (sweetly) told me: "Oh honey, they're not going to let you have that one."

The staff did, but as for the people all around me in line, I'm not so sure.

Yeah, 30 minutes wasn't a real big deal.
It just seemed like a set-up for 'candid camera' or some other comedy.

If I were a hot head, I could've seen getting escorted out or worse.

This is the first time in many, many years I haven't renewed (just because of finances). In normal times, the annual fee is well worth it just to not have to deal with the imbiciles (on both sides of the counter) at the DMV office.

If I can do it online, I will. Otherwise I'll do it by mail. Aside from that I either just won't do it or I'll pay someone to go do it for me.

I'm all for the AAA membership. But it's no utopia inside those doors, either. Getting my bike title transferred from out-of-state to California registration was a minor nightmare due to laziness and bureaucracy. Still, I'd rather take my chances at AAA, where the people realize they're supposed to be on my side, than the DMV.

I went to the Newhall (Los Angeles) DMV to pay the renewal on the tag for my trailer. They said they couldn't accept it, I had to do it my mail. WTF is the DMV for?

Jobs program. It keeps people "employed" that would otherwise be out causing trouble. I swear half the staff in those places is straight outta' the ghetto and would either be on welfare or gangbangin' if they weren't required to go to work that day.

The gangs must be different down in Long Beach, as all I seem to get when I go to the local DMV are little old ladies and men (OK, not old but past middle age) workin' the counter. Oooooh! The thought of those out of work people running around the community rampant. Maybe they'll muck up a bingo game with bureaucracy or something.
