You Know You Are Old When

After I figured out the "two hands needed" on the one gallon can, I was thinking how in the heck are you supposed to do that with a full 5 gallon can LOL

I still haven't learned how to work my 5 gallon can properly (different type of release on the funnel apparently), but I'm fine with just taking the entire cap off and use a funnel.

The one gallon we figured out yesterday, no one could figure out my 5 gallon that I brought with me LOL

We need to keep idiot proofing everything because people kill themselves due to stupidity, and companies have to deal with lawsuits I guess.

I've used these for the past 40 years with no issues.

Some states are considering extending license expirations so staff can process real id.

For what reason? It was proposed in 05' if I recall, and delayed several times. It's been 20 years. If you want to travel by commercial means you need it. If not, ya don't.

More kicking the can because of lack of action.

It was blamed on a computer glitch...

Greatest computer glitch skit of all time:

It is completely unneeded and unnecessary governmental interference. Just a step in the direction of Hitlers Germany, your papers or your life.

I think the need for a 'real' ID was the result of states giving drivers licenses to undocumented people. The result was the diminished value of a simple drivers license as true identification.
I had to get a real ID years ago and I'm glad I did. My wife did not and how she faces the same dilemma as many Americans.

Renewed my license last Sept. Needed birth certificate, SS card, Current DL, A utility bill with home address. Could have used a bank or CC statement also. Wife also had to take our marriage license plus above documents. My wife and I were prepared and had scheduled appointments online. In and out in 30-40 minutes. Telling people in room 3-4 hour wait if no appointment.

Never seen more than 2 people at the local DMV, and that had the girl behind the counter yelling for help. Mostly walk in and go right to the counter, only one in the place.
Joy of living in a very rural area....

There are 110k people in our town. The DMV office is a nightmare. Lines out the door. I do everything I can on line or at the AAA club.

Less than 600 in town and maybe another 200 in parts of 4 counties near town. County seat has 1450 people and is the largest town. Total pop of county is less than 10k or 22k for the county I live in. Our county has an interstate up in the northern part.

Live in a small rural town of 13,000. The county I live in is 212,000 so DMV is always a struggle. Smart people make appts. online. Get lots of stares when you pop in and out in 30 minutes and they have been waiting 2 hours
