Customer: BRITISH EXPRESSION, SHORT FOR: WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY FRIEND? WILL BE GOING ON AN ELECTRIC CAR - HENCE THE WATT PUN. WATT IS THE SI UNIT FOR POWER.
DMV: YOU WAIT A MINUTE
Verdict: ACCEPTED
@ca_dmv_bot wtf is the DMV on about here
@boobs_idiot @ca_dmv_bot i think it's an alternate reading of the pun. instead of "you what, mate", they read "you wait (wa(i)tt) (a) minu(eight)"
@boobs_idiot @ca_dmv_bot which is silly, but i think the dmv guy's job is to try to read into this sort of thing
@BestGirlGrace @boobs_idiot @ca_dmv_bot the job of the customer is to explain a positive spin on the message, the job of the dmv comment guy is to put a negative spin on the message, the job of the approver is to decide which of them are more likely to be correct or likely to be interpreted that way, and if the plate then can be approved
It's a bit complicated but it decreases variance, unlike having the same person do research *and* make the decision
@ChlorideCull Huh. That's actually... kinda of makes sense.
