I completed my vehicle registration renewal online today. Fantastic idea.
*I don't have to leave the comfort of my chair.
*I don't have to endure the trained to be unfriendly BMV employees.
*I will be early in renewing rather than late due to my anxiety that causes me to put it off to the last minute.
One side note, I was so pleased with the process that I decided to go ahead and "Take the Survey." All inane questions except one:
"If there were a souvenir plate program would you purchase one for yourself or as a gift for someone else?(plates for DISPLAY purposes only and not to be used on your vehicle)"
*YES
*NO
*If NO, please explain.
I have to explain? Really? That was the first response I typed. Then I thought I should be more helpful and I typed "Total waste of money." Then I thought I should be both helpful and humorous so I typed, "Only if you pay some of my property taxes but it wouldn't entitle you to any ownership of my property. It'd just be for fun." Then I thought they might flag my record for the police to pull me over and flog me since they clearly were asking the question in all seriousness. With some rebellion left in me I typed, "No thanks, I can just pick those up at Spencer's." But, due to my compliant and fearful personality I finally settled on, "I need to use my money for the real plates that the state requires."
I can vividly imagine the conference room and the meeting that was called to decide to slip this stupid ass question into the online survey. I hope that at least one person laughed out loud.
