I have a drivers license now. Finally. So let me tell you what happened at the DMV and you tell me if this sounds as funny to you as to me.
me: Hi. My purse was stolen and I need a new drivers license and registration
DMV guy: Ok....*type type type....drink from soda type type* that is going to be $30 something for the driver license
me: Do you take temporary checks?
DMV guy: Only with a drivers license....
me: Okkkkk but I just said mine was stolen and thats why I am here. To get a new one.
DMV guy: Sorry ma'am, but I need a valid drivers license
me: I have my social security card.....
DMV guy: I need a photo ID, a drivers license with your picture....
me (getting pissed at this point): ok seriously I am here to GET a NEW drivers license seeing mine was STOLEN. How the hell do you except me to GIVE you a drivers license when I DO NOT HAVE ONE!?
DMV guy: I don't know ma'am, but once you get your drivers license I can take your check.
me: ok.....give me a drivers license and I will give you the check.
DMV guy: I cannot give you the drivers license until you pay for it.
WTF??????
Yeah seriously. So then I go to my credit union 15 min away to get cash. This is how that goes....
me: Yes I was here Monday to get temporary checks cause my checks and debit card was stolen. I just tried to get a new drivers license at the DMV, but they won't take temporary checks without a drivers license.....so I need $100 in cash please. *I hand the teller my SS card and the temp checks and my paycheck*
Teller: I am sorry I cannot give you cash without a drivers license.
me: ok.....let me explain this to you....I NEED cash to get a NEW drivers license since mine was STOLEN. I DO NOT HAVE ONE.
Teller: I cannot authorize cash back unless I can see a drivers license.
me: how am I supposed to show you a drivers license when the DMV won't give me one until I pay for it and I CANNOT PAY FOR IT WITH THE TEMP CHECKS YOU GAVE ME SO I NEED SOME DAMN CASH!
Teller: Ma'am you do not need to yell.....I am simply telling you I cannot give you cash without a drivers license.
So at this point I am so mad I know I am going to say something bad so I ask for the bank manager who finally agrees to give me $75 in cash since I am depositing my $1045 paycheck and have a SS card.
I drive allllll the way back to the DMV. Oh yes, and their system crashed state wide. So I wait for 30 min and finally, finally get my drivers license and replacement registration....and it only cost me $71. 87. Whew.
Lesson kids? Don't let your damn drivers license get stolen in New Mexico.
The end.

I thought this to be important enough that I will leave it public. Please spread the word. I do not want this woman representing women of America.
