Somehow this town clerk switched the registration for my car in my name for the registration for my husband's car in his name and we have spent the last three months trying to get her to switch them back to be right. I honestly think she couldn't see why it was important to us to register each vehicle in the right name. It has been extremely frustrating to say the least.

But now something that would be as simple as crossing out a name or a number on one form and writing in something else just can't be done.

There are so many of these instances of having to buck the system in everything we do, with the system being wrong and us being right, and yet we're helpless to do anything about it. Some people just can't keep taking it. I'm glad it all worked out for you. This may sound strange, but I really believe this is why some people “go postal”.

I remember a few years back when I had a new to us motorhome. The first year I registered it with the town our town clerk put the weight of the vehicle down wrong. She had put down the weight for a much bigger motorhome so our registration fee was over double what it should have been. I paid the fee before I realized that and even though I was still standing there in front of the clerk once she had the check she said she couldn't change the weight. I called the state DMV and they wouldn't help me either. It is amazing to me these things can happen. What a frustrating experience that must have been.
