The one in town is mainly where all of the illegal workers hang out for whatever reason and the line is always wrapped around the building. I get uncomfortable going there. The one closer to my house now is usually a 5-10min wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-going-to-the-dmv-in-your-area-a-nightmare#post-394711 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 10:52:49 +0000 tororojo 394711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind it! I live in a pretty big metro area and have found that certain locations aren't as bad as others, so when I have to go I do it first thing in the morning at the location near my parents' house (which is 30-40 minutes from mine) and am usually out in half an hour! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-going-to-the-dmv-in-your-area-a-nightmare#post-394210 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 21:45:27 +0000 Honeybee 394210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The DMV where we are now isn't so bad. Where my parents live the DMV only comes to town twice a month so it's always a complete nightmare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-going-to-the-dmv-in-your-area-a-nightmare#post-393988 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 19:02:39 +0000 Turd Ferguson 393988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm dreading it. I have to go to the Social Security office to get a new card (I'm working on changing my name...blah), THEN go to the DMV for my license...nooooooo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-going-to-the-dmv-in-your-area-a-nightmare#post-393935 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:35:48 +0000 DigAPony 393935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shockingly, no. Both times I've been to the DMV here it's been very quick and seamless. But I should note that because of my grad student schedule, I was able to go at random times, not at what I'm assuming are the busiest hours (i.e., when people who work typical nine-to-fives have to go). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-going-to-the-dmv-in-your-area-a-nightmare#post-393879 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:00:12 +0000 DillonLion 393879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah - I think just about every DMV is like this! Arg. </p> <p>What I don't understand is the people who show up and wait in line for hours, but don't think to like make sure they have the right paperwork with them. They just walk up there with their wallets and hope for the best, and they have to get turned away because they don't have any of the correct documents. Wouldn't you look into that before wasting your time in line? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-going-to-the-dmv-in-your-area-a-nightmare#post-393877 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 17:56:04 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 393877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! The last time my husband went to the DPS he was there for four hours. It's ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-going-to-the-dmv-in-your-area-a-nightmare#post-393867 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 17:49:49 +0000 prettylizy 393867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The MTO (our version of DMV) lady in my town is infamous for being a crazy cat lady who makes you wait forever. She is the worst ever, and I avoid going there at all costs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-going-to-the-dmv-in-your-area-a-nightmare#post-393861 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 17:48:42 +0000 autumnlove 393861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate going to the the DMV...long lines (even with an appointment), unhappy people and grumpy employees! </p>
