Today I find myself sitting at the dmv waiting to renew my license. First let me share my shock of having to pay $75 for a license that they didn’t even spend the effort on reminding me I need to renew. Before I leave my house I check online to see what the waiting times are and boy was I surprised when it was a 46s wait in Wilmington. Of course by the rime I get all gussied up and get to the place the wait has inflated to 27 minutes. I’m just thankful that I am not facing the hour plus wait predicted in revere.
Now, to get me to my point… This DMV is well lit and clean which is a huge change from 5 years ago! The one thing I have to gripe about is the uncomfortable seating. When you think about it the DMV isn’t a place you are in and out of Ina jiffy. It is a known fact that you shouldn’t plan to spend less than 30 minutes waiting. So i sit my butt on one of the benches to assume the waiting position and what do I find? The epitome of uncomfortable seating! Well I’m sure sitting on a flaming cactus would probably be more uncomfortable what are the chances of you actually sitting on one. Walking in I would have assumed that all the butts that have planted on these benches would have worn away some kind of molded butt impression but no. (no pun intended) I can’t understand why the DMV wouldn’t invest in comfier benches knowing that people will be spending a good amount of time on them. I’m not saying they need to recline and massage just something a little squishier. They can rest assured that people won’t want to hang out because they are comfortable. Just think of the increase in smiling faces and pleasant interactions…cus when someone’s tush is happy they are happy!
