If we did it his way, he’d take his paperwork to the Registry of Motor Vehicles and be rejected. BIG time waster for me, him, and the registry employee who has to deal with his irritating self.

Can you tell what kind of day I had today? Please, cheer me up and share one of your Don’t you hate it when… stories. Misery loves company.
