Appreciation post: a guy in line at the DMV told me his 3 month wait became 3 weeks because he called once a week
I was at the DMV on Spring Street waiting to renew my license and this older guy next to me started chatting about how long he'd been there. He mentioned his brother's title transfer had been stuck for 3 months until he started calling the main office every Tuesday morning at 9am, just asking for a status update. By week three, someone actually pulled his file and finished it. I tried the same thing with my registration issue that had been sitting for 6 weeks, and it got resolved in 9 days. So my question is, what small repeated action has actually worked for you when a system seemed stuck?
The Tuesday 9am thing is smart because you're hitting the same desk at the same quiet time every week. Now imagine putting a reminder on your phone and doing it for two or three different offices at once. Same move, just spread wider.
