The Indiana Bureau of Motor vehicles is showing strong initiative when confronted by the market failure inherent to government operations:

In what has to join the list of Most Bizarre Government Policies Ever, BMV bosses have decided that hiding clocks is a great way to make long waits seem shorter. Without clocks to watch, people standing in long lines supposedly won’t be able to complain about just how long they’ve been waiting.

I wonder if they also confiscate employee and patron watches…
