I wonder...

 

I remember in the old version of the Wheel of Fortune gameshow, they would make you actually shop for the prizes with the money you won on the show... I wonder if they made them do that on purpose so that the companies that provided the prizes would get a "free" commercial in the middle of the show.  I always thought the prizes were lame and just wanted the cash.  I guess I wasn't the only one because now you do just get the cash.  If I ever won on that show back then, I would like to have seen their reaction if when they displayed all those prizes I just said, "Pat, I'll just take it all in a gift certificate because these prizes kinda blow..."

I wonder if all those people they show on "Jaywalking" are actually that stupid or if they're only pretending just to get on TV.  If that's the case, they're actually quite sharp.  If I ever had the chance, I would totally do that...

Jay:  What is the Magna Carta?
Me:  Uh... some sort of Mexican credit card?

Jay:  What is the more common name of the disorder "Acrophobia"?
Me:  Oh, that's easy... the fear of Acrobats!

Jay:  Who is this a photo of?  (shows a photo of V.P. Joe Biden)
Me:  I don't know... he kind of looks like Bob Barker...

Are the people at the DMV rude because people expect them to be and they're just living up to their reputation, or is there actually a level of disgruntledness that Human Resources department at the DMV is actually looking for to get such qualified applicants?  I wonder...

well after working with the public for a while, i've learned that it changes you. you can be the nicest person in the world and still become a jerk at work. you become more agitated and rude because you are dealing with rude, dumb, and just plain annoying people all day, every day for hours at a time. it's like a defense mechanism and the attitude just rubs off after a while. i got a really nice lady once at the dmv, but it was probably because i was trying to be super friendly too.

Aah, the DMV...the same quality treatment soon to be available for healthcare.  What a treat!


@Coffey - That may be the case but most private employers would not allow that kind of attitude in their customer service reps.  It seems to be prevalent in govt jobs because they know they can get away with it.

It's because people hate going to the DMV due to time and bureaucracy so they treat the workers with a lot of hostility, requiring the workers to be stone cold to make it through the day without stabbing a mother-fucker
