Vogons

Excerpt from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

They are one of the most unpleasant races in the galaxy - not actually evil, but bad tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without an order, signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.

Billions of years ago, when the Vogons first crawled out of the primeval seas of Vogsphere, laid panting and heaving on the planet's virgin shores... when the first rays of the young Vogsol sun had shone across them... it seemed as if the forces of evolution had simply given up on them then and there, turned aside in disgust and written them off as an ugly mistake. They would never evolve again. The fact that they did is a testament to the thick-willed stubbornness of these creatures. Evolution? they said to themselves. Who needs it? What nature refused to do for them they simply did without until they were able to correct the gross anatomical inconveniences with surgery.

The planet whirled away for unhappy millennia until the Vogons discovered the principals of interstellar travel. Within a few short Vog years every Vogon had migrated to the Megabrantis cluster, the political hub of the galaxy. They now form the powerful backbone of the Galactic Civil Service. Despite their intelligence, they remain little changed since their first appearance a billion billion years ago.

After spending 3.5 hours of my Saturday at the MVA, returning to the eye doctor for a new and more complete form, returning to the MVA Monday, returning home for a more recent sample of first class mail confirming my address since my lease was outdated, returning to the MVA for another 1.5 hours of queueing, and interacting with several officials of the MVA, I finally obtained a license that permits me to drive a car with the provision that said car be outfitted with working side mirrors on both sides of the vehicle.
