The idea that the DMV is a particularly awful experience does seem like something that would be especially susceptible to selection bias. Why would anyone ever announce "I went to the DMV today and it was fine"?

My experience has been that it sucks but not as bad as private customer service.

Getting a refund from UHaul was fifteen hours of pulling teeth. DMV was a 45 minute wait.

Worse in Texas where they dont fund it ofc.

The service is fine. The lines and waits are horrendous and a DMV never seems to have the seating room for that. So you spend an hour before you even get in the door like you're waiting for a new iPhone or something.

Well, now that it is a meme, and the DMVs where I live is actually very effient, I've actually heard multiple people say "I went to the DMV, and actually it was fine"
