Traffic Hall

I have no idea what to call where I just went to deal with a ticket. Traffic Hall? Municipial Court seems misleading, as I wasn't before a judge but rather before a cranky clerk-lady behind a counter. City Hall? Meh. Here are my Traffic Hall thoughts:

1. Couple in scrubs registered to get married. Cute, but made me extremely jealous. They should be sharing the wealth, as opposed to concentrating it. I'd like a house someday too.

2. Some guy in line, when speaking with the clerk, tried to use "The Economy" as a way of bargaining down his ticket. 1. This is some civil functionary---she can't change the ticket. And 2. That excuse would hence work everywhere. Do you try this at the grocery store as well?

3. Do cranky people naturally gravitate toward crappy civil clerk jobs, or were they once nice people worn down by dealing with idiots over the years? Did they take a career questionnaire in high school that said, "You a disagreeable, bitter person. Have you thought about working at the DMV?" Does this ever come up during the interview process? "You seem to like your fellow human too much...perhaps customer service is not for you."

4. I don't need a woman as sultry as Fiona Apple. I know this doesn't really relate, but it's what Pandora's thrown at me at the moment.
