Why are government employees so obnoxiously rude? Would you rather work for the DMV or the Postal Service?

Because they can be. What, were you planning to go to the competing DMV?

I'd rather work for the postal service because you don't have to do much, get a lot of exercise and you could always read the back of postcards and stuff!

Postal service. Hands down. Air conditioning on hot summer days is a definite post office plus. Besides, the DMV people are scary.

DMV people are weird. When I got my license two years ago, the guy who gave me the test really didn't pay too much attention to what I was doing. The first thing he did when he got in the car was flip down the mirror so he could fix his hair. He didn't stop fixing his hair until the test was over.

Then the camera woman was just about the biggest bitch I've ever met - - and didn't know how to use the camera, either! Your face isn't supposed to take up the whole picture, but mine does. She was zoom- happy or something, I guess. She also yelled at me because I didn't switch the background (blue is for over 21, red is for under) -- like it's my job or something. Not my job, dear. Ugh.

I hate the DMV... When I took my driver's test the first time, my tester was this very large black woman who had wrist braces on both arms. She was the typical stone-silent, no-funny-business, crack-a- joke-and-I'll-scowl-at-you-like-you're-an-idiot DMV worker.

I was one turn away from success. I came to a yield sign, looked, and started to turn. I'm making the turn, and the lady starts saying, "Excuse me... Excuse me... EXCUSE ME!!!" I swing my head over to her to give her a WTF look just in time to see the car coming at us from the right.

I passed on the second try, strangely enough with the same woman. She didn't recognize me... I guess she comes within fifty feet of her death every day.

I would rather work for the Postal Service. You have a wide variety of machine guns to protect you from people who want to steal your mail. Especially about the time when tax returns come back. eek!

I also think that they are mean cause theyre not getting as much action as Bill Clinton. ;-)

Hey KATIE!!! We live in the same state (as if you care). I live near Elgin (1-2 hours away from chicago depending on traffic on I-90)... er... yeah. lol

I hate the DMV. Just a a bunch of fat asses who are disgruntled because they get minimum pay. Also their appearance as huge giants makes them want to feel superior because they think they have power over you. I failed the first time cause there was this fat bitch who weighed like 200 lbs. I didn't pass cause I was going too slow; I wonder why? Someone who weighs 200lbs has to slow down a 4cylinder car. I failed the second time at the last turn because of the unprotected turns(A car just zoomed at the last second) I hate it when you fail because of other's negligence. Anyways, I probably won't pass the third time, guess I wasn't meant to drive.

Government employees rock.

Yes, government employees most certainly rock. (So says the usually non-disgruntled postal worker.)
