“A few weeks ago, I had to explain to my wife that the letters on her license plate were part of her “license plate number”.

She got a ticket for parking without payment. The payment kiosk makes you enter your license plate number when paying for a day of visitor parking. She was ranting and raving about what bulls@#t it was, so I asked her to show me the receipt she got when she paid for parking. Sure enough, she had just entered the numbers and not the letters.

I don’t know how she made it into her mid-30’s before learning this.”
