I used to live in the south and can confidently say this isn't unique to NJ at all. If I had to guess I would say DMV workers in general have to deal with a disproportionate number of assholes, with causes them to act like assholes in return, leading to a never-ending cycle of people being shitty.

I feel like police, customer service, and technical support deal with more assholes. DMV workers just deal with everyone. Like hospitals.

My SO works at the airport and it's assholes from all corners of the world. Not to mention that some people get extra-dumb at airports

And it's not to say the assholes don't have a good reason to be pissed. My current job has me dealing with angry callers with valid reasons. Still should t be an asshole to service workers of course. But it comes with these types of jobs sadly.

That they deal with everyone is the problem. Those everyones are coming into a place they really don’t see as necessary to comply with rules that don’t agree with or like. A necessary evil with an interminable wait and any number of hoops to jump through. I’m just glad they finally have online renewal services.

100% this. The DMV is always understaffed, which leads to unnecessarily irate customers, who humanly piss off the employees, which then keep the vicious cycle going.

I think it’s more than just dealing with assholes. From what I’ve seen their systems and processes all seem super antiquated making their jobs difficult and annoying.
