As the more astute of you have probably guessed, that's LAST YEAR'S permit.
The ones from this year aren't even RED, they're GREEN.
The "first" one he tried was a hand-drawn one.- They say nothing good happens at 2AM, they're right, I happen at 2AM.

You ever come across one that said: "Parking Purmit"?
Or ones where they just try to make it a permanent permit by putting whiteout over the expiration date?
A buddy of mine thought he was slick by trying the latter in college. Didn't work out too well for him."If we refund your money, give you a free replacement and shoot the manager, then will you be happy?" - sign seen in a restaurant

I have a bad hip and hobble around with a cane. However, due to the fact that I refuse to believe that I am really disabled forever, I have a temporary placard.
This isn't the standard blue, it is red with an expire date. It is legal and valid. I don't use it often because I can usually find parking that allows me to fully open my door to get out of my car. It expires every 6 months because I am going to get better and won't need it anymore!
Every single time I use it at work, someone just has to come and ask me why my placard looks fake. (often its the rent-a-cop of the day)
So, do you think that if I copied it with blue paper and hung the fake on my mirror might stop that problem?
(I'm seriously tired of the whole conversation and would like a way to make it stop.)

I want to put in a bet for which will be the first genius in January to realize that 7 goes to 8 very easily and (supposedly undetectably) with a couple of extra lines...The Copyright Monster has made me tell you that my avatar is courtesy of the wonderful Alice XZ.And you don't want to annoy the Copyright Monster.

Quoth Dytchdoctir View PostI've got a bad hip too. Sorry, but you're going to have to get the permanent placard or keep answering foolish questions.

Quoth Minflick View PostPlus, just because you HAVE the placard, doesn't mean you must use it every time you drive... Use the thing when you need to, and don't when you don't. However, don't expect the nosy parkers to stop asking Why You Have It, OMG, Poor YOU!
However, I do have a wonderful co-worker who has my back. When we have meetings or training sessions with out of office lecturers, she always says something to me about moving things around so I can sit down. When I thank her and say that I want to hide in the corner, she says something about how she always forgets that I like to stand.
That stops me from having to have that whole boring conversation with a bigwig stranger in front of everyone.
