An Afternoon at the Motor Vehicles Branch

Not much to report, apart from a People's Theatre moment at the Motor Vehicle Branch, where I went on Thursday to get my driver's license renewed. Made an appointment for 1pm, as if that made a difference. One woman ("I have been waiting half an hour!") lost it because the online appointment interface said it would only take ten minutes if you made an appointment, "and I have my dog in the car!" At which point three people, all from different corners of the waiting room, rose up and got in her face about it, with one of them announcing he was going to call the SPCA and the woman knocking the phone out of his hand. The elderly security guard moved towards the melee and tripped, twisted his knee, and eventually had to be taken out by ambulance. The cops arrived before that, and were more "interested" in the man who threatened to gouge the eyes out of the woman with the dog than the woman or her dog.
