I got screwed up once on the mm-dd-yy /dd-mm-yy mixup and ran around town for a couple of months with an expired ticket.
Apparently, somehow mm-dd-yy is "standard" and the more logical dd-mm-yy is not. I was OK on a standard renewal after all, though.
Of course, a changeover would be a logistical nightmare, with new tickets using dd-mm, and older ones remaining mm-dd for a couple of years.
No, I did not grouse about the whole "permit" infringement being 2A unconstitutional. I wax stoopit sometimes, but not that time.
