So I'm fucking broke. Like, destitute broke. Wicked fucking destitute, sell my body, donate sperm broke.
Being broke is kind of my own fault, though; I got depressed and overspent on food instead of cooking for myself, so it's not like I can complain.
Anyway, on top of being broke, I own too many motorcycles. Y'all know this.
Well today was the last day I had to pay the registration on my Aprilia ($108) before I got socked with late fees. While digging for that paperwork, I came across the paperwork that says that I'm WAY late on the registration for my KZ1000. Fuck. I've got that bike out on extended loan to a friend who got his truck stolen, and forgot ALL about the registration for it. $60 late fee... This brings the total to $130 Groan.
And then there's the registration on my crashed streetfighter. Me, being the irresponsible dumbass I am, forgot to send in the salvage paperwork, so the state took $88 out of my income tax refund. Shit.
Then there's the paperwork on my ex girlfriend's Ninja that she dumped on me. Fortunately she paid the registration on that, but it's in her name... Sort of. More like, she got it halfway in her name, then flaked on getting some of the paperwork she needed, then signed the whole lot over to me. It was a hairy ordeal just to get THAT. Needless to say, I was a little worried about the costs and paperwork hassle that I was about to encounter to sign it over into my name.
So I go to the DMV today, knowing full well that I can't afford to take care of all of this shit, but I need to get the ball rolling, or figure out alternative arrangements (like planned non-op permits) because loose ends suck, and get really expensive.
And that's when the clouds opened up, sunshine came streaming into the DMV, and beamed down on the spot where I was standing.
I start off with the crashed streetfighter, and tell the lady behind the counter that it was wrecked over a year ago, hasn't been on the road since, and probably never will be. I also tell her that I never took care of the paperwork, coz I was just going to use it for parts, and figured that my registration would just get canceled if I didn't pay it, and that would be that.
She says, great, fill out these forms, and we'll refund you your 88 dollars.
Suhweet!
Then it's on to the ex-girlfriend's bike. I tell counter lady the story (not even the sob story, just the brief details of what this weird transaction is), give her the incomplete paperwork from the guy I bought it from to my ex, and the paperwork from my ex to me.
She cracks a few jokes, sifts around through the pile of paperwork, says that there will be a twelve dollar fee to non-op, but since the ex paid the registration (and hints that she seems like a complete bitch) she will waive the fee. She hands me a piece of paper to sign, and it's a done deal.
WOW! OK!
Which brings me to the KZ1000. I tell counter ANGEL that I really have no good excuse for it being late. I just loaned the bike to a friend because he got his truck nicked, and consequently forgot all about the registration. I ask her if there's anything at all I could do about the late fees. She says "No problem" and WAIVES THEM!
HOLY FUCK!
I hand over the registration notice for the Aprilia, and she laughs at me for owning too many bikes and says "I guess it's better than OTHER things you could have as a hobby."
All in all, with the refund, I was able to title and PNO one bike, junk (with the option to re-title) another, register another bike WAY late, and register ANOTHER on the very last possible day, all for SEVENTY FUCKING DOLLARS.
Granted that's because I already paid $88 out of my tax refund, but still... That AWESOME fucking lady just saved me TONS of fucking cash and hassle. It was amazing. I was giddy, and still kind of am.

My crazy DMV story is kinda weird. By the time I got to the window, it was past closing time, and I was THE ONLY PERSON there. A total Twilight Zone moment. DMV's in LA are NEVER empty. Kinda freaked me out.....

While you are out getting that lottery ticket, buy her some fucking flowers. If you don't know what kind of a boquet is appropriate for DMV Angel, ask a girl, or a florist, or somebody other than me.
Wow. Just thinking about going to DMV causes me massive anxiety.

Like, HOW much older is she? (I might be interested in her) I have a soft spot in my heart for gov't employees who understand that it's wrong for bureaucrats to screw the little guy...I'd second Piccini's idea about buying that lady a bouquet, (as soon as you can afford them of course) and go get yerself a lottery ticket...
Colonrado just instituted the same "late fee" B.S. for vehicle registration in May of this year. You get ass-pounded $25 per month after your tags expire, up to a max of $100 total- IN LATE FEES ALONE! This is such a FUBAR rule to jack $$$ from poor saps who just want to keep a vehicle off the road while they work on it. Why penalize us if we don't want to be road-taxed for a non-working vehicle? Let the taxes pile up per-year- yes - then make the owner pay back-taxes. But to penalize for non-use? That's just vulgar.

Hey Shit, which DMV was it? No one down at our DMVs are allowed to see a customer until it's beren vreified at least two people pissed i n their Cheerios. I'd gladly ride up your ways for an opportunity not to be shat upon at the DMV (when I have to go there--I use AAA like psycho, whenever possible)
One more thing, Shit. Like everyone else said: Buy her flowers you dumb shit. Or cut some roses from a neighbor's yard--far more dashing to be criminalistic AND an appreciative romantic, and lends credence to your brokedness. She'll gush like a little girl and you;l get play fo sho!

All you Cali kids should start travelling to see the DMV ANGEL for all your red-tape needs. And you should all bring her flowers at every visit. Maybe you'll spark a movement, or at least some sappy 'pay-it-forward' newspaper article that highlights the benefits of helpful, cheerful service to the average joe/jane shmoe.
