An uncomfirmed theory is brewing out there for females.
I was at the DMV the other day to get my license renewed and I overheard the customer next to me requesting something.
It wasn't the request that caught my attention, but the tactic that got her what she needed from the DMV man. In order to resolve her issue, the DMV man asked her to complete a form and have her husband fill it out with his employment information, a process that would normally take a week total to complete.
But, the customer replied, "my husband's right over there," as she pointed to a cluster of two dozen occupied standard-issue plastic office chairs in the waiting area. Her "husband" didn't wave, acknowledge, or otherwise identify himself, and I'll never know if he was really there.
The fact that her husband was "present" turned the DMV man into a wish-granting wizard, allowing him to skip the entire required documentation altogether. No husband interview, no verification of the husband's employment, or any effort to identify him. Mini-Me prevailed.
Does this mean that by simply saying that your husband "said this" or "is within a five-mile radius," that women will be served better?
The DMV Mini-Me theory. Could it be true practice?
