EVERY person who worked there acted like an asshole. There wasn't a single person working there who treated anyone like a normal fucking person. I was already nervous coming in but sitting next to 30 people while listening to an employee lecture a 16 year old girl to tears because she printed her birth certificate rather than bringing it from home was exhausting.

When they called me up, it was like the person behind the counter was looking for reasons to hate me. She asked for my thumb prints and said to align my thumbs. I did that making sure to be extra aligned, and she snapped and yelled "HOLD THE BOX". She gave me my permit which I signed, and I thought I had to give it back to her. She paused to make me look like an idiot and said "no sir... you keep this." It took all of my energy not to turn back around as I was leaving and lecture her back.

It sucks having ASD and strangers still find reasons to hate me. I know the dmv/dps is usually like this, but why? You would get fired at any other job. Why make someone else's life miserable if your own life is? She was such a bitch.

Some people go out of their way to make everyone around them as miserable as they are.

Government employees in general have the worst attitudes. Idk how they choose their candidates but it seems like they pick the most impersonal people on purpose.

These people are actually very weak and goes on the offensive straight away to preserve their own fragile ego. They take advantage of those who act like human beings toward each other. If you get angry one day and look into their eyes showing how you feel about their demeanor one day, they will crumble.
