Sitting outside of the office of the manager of a division of the DMV you hear and see interesting things.

People who are getting their license for the first time are very happy. There was one young woman who passed her test and was grinning a huge grin. I could see she really wanted to be cheering and shouting about it, but wasn’t going to in a room full of strangers.

Not everyone was so happy. One young man came out and told the DMV person that he couldn’t take the learner’s permit exam because the computers were all dark.
“They have a screen saver,” he told the young man. “Wiggle the mouse and they will come on.”
“Wow, really?”

Like a man going for a Massachusetts license:
“I’m sorry, sir, we won’t be able to give you a license today,” the woman at the counter told him.
“Why not?”
“Because you have outstanding arrest warrants for felony activities in a motor vehicle,” she said.
“But, that was in Texas,” he said. “I don’t want a Texas license. I’m not going back.”
“We can’t give you a Massachusetts license if you have any outstanding warrants involving motor vehicles,” she said. “It doesn’t matter which state.”
“But, I didn’t do that stuff here,” he said.
“All states link their computers these days,” she said. “So, even if you did the crime in Texas, we know about it here.”
“Are you going to arrest me?”
“No, I’m not a police officer,” she said. “But, if you don’t want me to call one, you should probably leave now.”
He left.
