Signed up for driving school...

[cimorene]

...to learn to drive stick shift, which I did not learn as a teenager. (Automatic transmission is rare here.)

Email received from the school: "Welcome! Your place is booked and here's your password for our website! We suggest that you proceed in the following order: 1. Apply for a learning permit from the government at [This Link]; 2. Start reading the theory lessons on our site; 3. Come in and book driving lessons at your local office once you receive the permit!"

I clicked on [This Link], thinking, "How nice - I didn't have to search the government website for the link myself!"

An hour and a half later, I have six browser tabs open in three languages from two different government-related sites and am waiting for my wife to get off work so she can read them and check my comprehension, or do I really have to book an appointment to visit a government-associated office to make the application in person?

• it's good to have your application filled out in advance when you visit this office,🙂


• but you can't get it anywhere else but this office. 🤔


• They want you to make an appointment in advance when you visit this office,🙂


• even though they want you to just drop off the papers when you're there,🙂


• which they want you to have prepared in advance,🙃


• even though they won't give them to you in advance?? I'm. 🫠
