Moultrie Courthouse — Local services in Washington

Got married at the courthouse yesterday and the woman in the office outside the chapel during check in was HORRIBLE. She was just nasty from the start, her attitude was awful. I’ve never met someone so rude to a complete stranger before they could even get a word out. She said we filled our paperwork out wrong and when i showed her the copy that i submitted she REFUSED to even look at it. It was a small typo, that i genuinely think was on her side (not a bid deal either way!), and it was fixed in less than 10 seconds after she pressed a couple buttons and reprinted the document.

I am still in shock from this interaction that probably lasted less than 2 minutes total. i mean this woman should not have come into work that day. You would have thought i had punched her in the face upon walking up to her desk by the way she spoke to us. I genuinely think she was being rude for sport.

There are a number of charging stations and a little business center; however, there are many more potential jurors waiting around as well. i’d bring a battery pack. There is a little cafeteria downstairs on C level that has some decent coffee, desserts, and some handhelds/quiches. It has a Starbuck’s feel without the comfy couches - many more charging areas/wall outlets here. No photography in the building and no phone calls in the waiting room. Security is much like the airport with the exception of mandatory...

Although it wasn't a joyful occasion while I was there, the newly renovated side was really nice. It was very soothing and comfortable. FYI: I think the guards should be more attentive and aware of their surroundings to help direct folks to court rooms - and not slouched in chairs. For sanitary reasons, plastic disposable bags should be administered at the front doors to put your belongings in or in those plastic bins when entering the building. Just an...
