Thatsright · 61-69, M
True story, my state’s smart ID rules for the DL lists a piece of mail as a secondary ID with other things as a piece of mail. Now, I think I’m a smart guy, I do have many metrics that make me think so. And I’m told I present myself that way at times.
So, I go to the DMV in my smallish, southern town to get my license changed to a smart ID. The lady behind the counter is chatty, senses a kindred spirit.

“So how can I help you today sir?”

“I’m here to upgrade my driver’s license to a Smart ID. This one’s sorta of dumb.”, as I hand her my driver’s license out of the pile of things in my hand.

“Ooh, very good!”, laughing, “I really haven’t heard that one yet. I can’t wait to use it.” She looks at my license. “This still your address Mr. Thatsright?”

“Yes ma’am.”

“What else you got there for me?”

“My passport.”, I hand it over.

“Okay, I’m going to need two pieces of mail with your address on it.”

I hand over the latest electric bill which I had just picked up at the box, I had a handful of mail in my folder.

“Good, one more Mr. Thatsright.”

I reach for another piece of mail and hand it over.

She looses it laughing. I see I had handed over a mailer ad hard card from Costco from the pile of mail I had.

Now we’re both laughing. The supervisor and a lady without a customer walks over to see what the ruckus is as I handed over a better piece of mail.

Not all DMVs are bad. And now I have an inside person at the DMV. I’m the Costco ad ID guy to Ms. Carla.
