Take Your Chance, Not a Number



January 15, 2020


The computers at the DMV kept going down yesterday, and a lot of people got frustrated and left. As the clerks were calling numbers, and nobody got up, I wondered if anybody who was waiting considered just taking one of the open spots.


And indeed, at one point, a woman said to the person with her, “Didn’t he get here after us?”

(Of course, he may have taken his number, run out to the car for something, and come back after the two women had gotten their numbers. Still, it’s an intriguing thought.)
