2020 Future Vision

(I sell construction materials and we do sell retail. A customer gives me his credit card number over the phone to pay for a delivery.)

Me: “All right, what’s the expiration date?”

Caller: “[Month]/2000.”

Me: “Sir, it can’t be 2000.”

Caller: “I’m looking right at the card; it’s 2000.”

Me: “That means your card expired almost twenty years ago.”

Caller: “Oh… Yeah… Well, it says, ‘20,’ on the year.”

Me: “Sir, that would be the year 2020.”

Caller: “Oh, yeah.”
