This happens to me so often I don't even notice anymore, but your post was in my head so I took especial offense when, on a $7.04 charge at Chipotle, I handed the cashier a ten, rooted around for four cents, failed, found a nickel, gave him $10.05, said "don't bother with the penny," was given a confused look, and then handed three dollars and one cent.

Anyway, I was just on the phone asked to give my credit info for something. When we got to the expiration, I said, "March 2017." The response, was, inevitably: "Soooo... five 2017?"

I said, "Well, no, actually."

And that's just today.
