i HEART oarS LIEK DEATH.

Future Freshman: *walks right up to door* I need to get a student ID.
ID Center Worker: Did you read the sign? (the giant whiteboard sign that they just walked past to get to the door)
FF: ...yes.
IDCW: What did it say?
FF: ...something about a form?
IDCW: And did you fill out the form? (which they obviously haven't, as they're still standing around looking lost)
FF: I couldn't find it.
IDCW: (Did you try looking with your EYES?!) It's right there. (where you ALSO just walked past to come harass me)
FF: Oh. *turns around*

There are quite a few minor variations on this conversation, some of which involve them getting out their license rather than filling out the tiny but oh-so-essential piece of paper, and a couple of which involve getting them to sit in the chair. Yes, you have to sit. The chair isn't just there for looks. Yes, that one, the one in front of the camera. Yes, we're going to take your picture right now. You came here to get your damn ID, didn't you? Yes, your picture will probably look pretty bad. No, we don't have any sympathy for you. Guess what, I look like hell in mine, too; get over it.

I could understand getting this type of incident a few times a day. But when it's almost every single person? You have to wonder how these people are intelligent enough to get in to college when they are apparently incapable of reading three short instructions on a big sign.
(Fill out form. Get out photo ID - driver's license. Wait in line.)

I don't know which is worse - the ones who apparently read the sign and have trouble understanding it, or the ones who just ignore as though it couldn't possibly apply to them.

Yes, I love my job.
