November 36th

I went to register my car yesterday. Thankfully, there were two DMV windows open, or I’d still be there. The woman who was being helped before me was arguing with the clerk. Her registration wasn’t late, so she didn’t know why she was being charged a fee. It was due at the end of November, and she paid it on November 36th. The clerk was explaining that the registration was due on November 31, and the payment arrived on December 5th, so it was late. “No! I paid it on November 36th, which is the same as December 5th! It was still November, and the registration was due at the end of November, so that late fee is wrong!” Poor clerk. I have a feeling that the woman is still there, arguing it. I was in and out once it was my turn.
