When Sidney Crosby jumps over the boards in NHL arenas it generally makes hockey fans happy, but when he jumps the line at the DMV people get upset.

Over the weekend, the Pittsburgh Penguins’ captain skipped past a group of people at the Duncan Manor Department of Motor Vehicles in McCandless, Penn., and he has received some backlash over it.

“I disapprove. He should have to sit and wait with everyone else,” 46-year-old Susan Campbell, who was at the DMV, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, which first reported the story.

The Pennsylvania DMV has a policy in place that can allow celebrities to skip to the front of the line in order to cut down on disruptions.

“If they walk in and the place goes crazy with fans, we would just move them in and out,” Jan McKnight, a spokeswoman for the DMV told the Post-Gazette. “It’s a matter of keeping control and keeping disruptions to a minimum.”

Since the story became public, Crosby has taken some heat, but that didn’t stop one of his teammates from poking fun at the situation.
