      Hey, I get that your comment is supposed to be a joke, but using that kind of spelling and grammar when the OP really did not signal that was present comes off as a little sus. I understand that lots of people have had experiences at the DMV and that may be true to yours, but I think it’s best to not assume that’s the way people at the DMV speak in a specific location unless given a reason to.

        If you’re going to accuse me of racism because of the way certain words are written, can you at least spell suspicous correctly?

        Are you speaking from lived experience here? My lived experience would confirm that most DMV staff are quite the sassy bunch.

        Now we can theorize on why that may be the case, or we can note that my anecdote plus the other anecdote doesn’t make a statistical trend… but that’s not what this is, you appear to be making just as bold and unfounded of a conjecture as the person you are replying to; as a matter of fact your conjecture actively conflicts with the original post which suggests comedy and sass were at play.

        Or wait, are you trying to insinuate that talking like that must put a person in a particular ethnic group and then trying to judge someone for making the perceived implication?

        Look, i’m a bit lost, help me out here.
