They always look so crestfallen when I point out the extension. At first, I tried having the conversation about whether an expiration date makes a difference, since I'm still the same person, but I've discovered that most don't speak (or pretend not to speak) English, so I just dropped that part.

My old DL had an extension sticker on the back. The checkers are sooooo disappointed when they realized their big catch is slipping away. It's just so hilarious, shameful and sad all at the same time.
