It could only happen to us... Adventures at the DMV

David and I decided to spend some quality time with each other, so we headed down to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
We go in, get our number and see that they're 100 numbers away from ours, and go back out to the car to wait and watch a movie. We're sitting there, minding our own business, looking cute (haha, moe) and suddenly our car jerks violently, to the front, and then to the back. Me, being the blonde pregnant brain that I am, thinks maybe someone sat on our car, or there's an earthquake?? But David, my knight in shining armor, immediately realizes what has just happened, and chases after the car that just smashed into our bumper.


The driver of the other car, who "didn't realize that he hit us" was booking it to the end of the parking lot, trying his darndest to get away. Let me just reiterate here -- we were in the DMV parking lot!! Where people go to aquire licences to operate their vehicles! So the guy comes back, and we politely try to swap insurance info with him. For those of you that know us well, David and I can get a little "fiesty" sometimes, when the situation calls for it... But in this instance, we were calm, polite, didn't even raise our voices. But this crazy driver of the other car is cussing us out, speaking a tirade in another language, just crazy pissed off. I remember David even saying "You're mad because you hit us?? Really?" So while this crazy person is screaming at my husband, I guess he didn't want to give us his insurance info, I remember that there's a security guard at the door of the DMV, and usually he looks pretty bored. I go in, explain the situation, and the guard comes out to help, and the crazy person is screaming at the guard as well. By this time, David is on the phone with the cops, and they can hear the guy throwing a fit and ask, is that him yelling in the back, and David said that he was screaming at his pregnant wife. So they sent the cops over.


Cops come, make the guy give us his info, and we all live happily ever after. Since we were at the Henderson DMV, and the Henderson cops are bored, they sent 2 cop cars over, and asked us if the guy was violent, hit or pushed us, but he didn't, so they didn't get to arrest him. We were wondering if maybe he didn't have insurance, thats why he was throwing a fit, but apparently he did. Its pretty scary who's out there sharing the roads (and parking lots) with us. All that just to renew a licence.

  1. Did I ever tell you about the time I was in and In N out Drive thru and the person in front of me changed their minds about eating there, so she flipped it in reverse and hit me..? She didnt even look behind her... Who does that? Where's the common sense?

    But I think you story is infinately worse...

    #1. It was at the DMV (everything at the DMV is bleh)
    #2. You were a parked car are someone hit you... If you ask me that takes a lot of talent.
    #3. The guy was so obtuse that he was yelling at you guys for something he did... Again, no common sense...

    Glad you made it thru your weekend alive...
