Scene Worthy of a Sitcom

I went to the town dump/recycling center yesterday with glass and cardboard. The date on my window permit had faded away, so I showed the guy the details of when I bought it - July 9, 2019.
Him: "Well, you'll need a new sticker. That's from 2019."
Me: ""But isn't it good for a year?"
Him: Yes, but that was for 2019, and that was last year. That's over."
Me: "But it's supposed to be good for a full year from the date I bought it."
Him: Right. And you bought it last year, and last year is over."
Me: So if I bought a permit in December, it would be good for only one month?"
Him: "Well, no, it's good for a year."
Me: "So the one I bought in July is also good for a year, right?"
Him: Yes, it was good for a year, but that was 2019, and 2019 is over.
I realized I wasn't getting anywhere, so I drove over to dump my stuff. I managed to keep from laughing because I knew that would just make the situation worse. The boss came over and said I was fine. No problem.

And I didn't laugh.
That reminds me of a funny story. George Burns and Jack Benny were best friends, and they often played practical jokes on each other. They were in line to meet the Queen of England, and George turned to Jack and said, "When you get to the Queen, whatever you do, don't laugh."

At least that democrat voter is actually working a job and not just collecting dole.

Maybe the thing to do would be ask his birthday. Confirm it was Mo/Day/2019. Ask if his next birthday will be 1 year later. If he says yes confirm it will be Mo/Day/2020. Then point out your sticker birthday is July 9, 2020 so it won't be 1 year old until its birthday. Very possibly still too complicated for a democrat but might have worked.

Sound like this gal who was upset because the pizza guy offer to cut the pie in 8 or 12 slice, and said she could eat 8 wedges but 12 would be too many
