Totally remarkable!

Other than long lines, I've never had an issue with the DMV here. Many of the same people still work there from when I got my license 15 years ago.

Side note...we've had self serve/ordering at McDonalds for a long time. Still sucks though.

I have often heard the trashing of state employees, specifically DMV employees. So, I thought I'd post what happened to me this morning, at the Oregon DMV in St. Helens Oregon. You won't believe it.
I walked in to the DMV at about 8:10am. This put me at the end of the line(#17 pull tab). What I had with me was a hand written bill of sale and a title that was signed over to my daughter in November, for a horse trailer licensed in California. In Oregon, out of state title transfer requires inspection of the VIN. So, I had the horse trailer with me, to be inspected. I have to admit, besides the paperwork, I honestly expected trouble with this inspection. The only readable numbers on the trailer were the manufacturer's plate, which I knew already did not match the VIN exactly.
Well, they got to my number and the lady behind the counter made quick work of the paperwork, WOW! No interrogation to any degree.
Now, the long walk to the trailer for the inspection. I'm not sweating but, it's going so smoothly to this point I can't help but think it's about to unravel. She says they don't match and then adds, "I'll make a tag that has the whole number for law enforcement purposes". Basically, using common sense and here experience and background, she realizes the data plate was removed when the trailer was painted at some point. She also realizes the tongue stamp from the Manufacturer is what the final VIN is based or derived from(partially).
We walk back in to the building and she gives me the new plates, tags, takes my money and then follows me out and puts the new VIN tag on the trailer. You won't believe what happened next. She smiled at me and told me to have a nice day. The audacity of her.
I chalk it up to being at a rural DMV but, it might have been my shining personality.
So, anyone else have a "good" story.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention, I drove off with all needed paperwork, plates, tags and newly attached VIN tag at 08:35am.
How's that for service.

Aunt betty is gonna be pissed you got registration so quick.

DNR for boat registration here.

You totally missed the point there.

Did you ever think she might have been scared shitless of your rob zombie look! She probably thought you were going to pull a gun on her. "Yes sir. No problem sir. Glad I could be of service sir." Meanwhile, she's thinking " please God I have children. I'm to young to die!"

Probably more like "FUCK! just one week left to retirement and this homeless crackhead mutha fucka is going to keep me from it."
She was no spring chicken.

He was probably in the kitchen getting more snacks for at least one of those.
