My younger brother recently went to DMV to renew his license. After waiting nearly 3 hours to see a clerk, he gets to the counter and begins his business. After everything was said and done, the lady tells him the last thing he needs to do is to take the eye exam. My brother wears glasses, but usually only for reading, and then only sometimes. His eyesight is just slightly into the "you should wear glasses" range.
So the lady tells him to look into the black box and read the third line down on the left.
Brother- "I don't see anything"
Lady- "Really?"
Brother- "Really"
Lady turns up the magnification
Lady- "Ok, now try, same line"
Brother- "I still don't see anything"
Lady- "Try the first line then"
Brother- "There is no first line."
Lady turns up magnification again.
Lady- "How about now?"
Brother- "There's nothing there."
Lady- "Look at me please Sir. Can you see me OK?"
Brother- "You're kidding right???
Lady- "Im afraid I'm not going to be able to renew your license."
Brother- "WHAT??????"
Lady- "According to our charts, you are legally blind."
Brother- "BLIND!!! I've been sitting here with you for 20 minutes before this test and could see just fine. Don't you think you might have noticed by now if I was blind????"
Lady- "Please calm down Sir"
Brother- "I am calm. I'm just trying to tell you there is NOTHING in this machine."
Lady- "SECURITY."
Brother- "This is ridiculous. Something is wrong with your machine. While you're at it, call your Supervisor over."
Both security and her boss come over at this point and after a couple minutes of discussion the boss walks over and looks into the machine, and then walks around and whispers something in the ladies ear. She then reaches over and TURNS ON THE DAMN MACHINE and without even apologizing asks my brother to again read the third line down on the left.
Brother- "F U C......"
You figure out the rest. For those of you who might be a tad slow- the last 3 letters were Y O and U.
Security promptly asked my brother to leave, the guy next to my brother pisses himself laughing, and the Supervisor told my brother they would overnight him his new license.
True story.
