I've had PINs for a long time. I've had them for my debit cards, school systems, and most recently my Common Access Card (CAC). In a trip to a local store I made last week I decided to purchase my goods using my debit card, something I normally do since I rarely carry cash. As any one with a debit cards knows, often times you are asked to enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN) to verify and complete the purchase. This purchase was not unique. After the cashier had finished ringing up my total I swiped my card and was asked to enter my "PIN number." Note, I was asked to enter my "PIN number" not my PIN. Saying PIN number is exactly like saying Personal Identification Number Number. This annoyed me...a lot. It's always annoyed me and will most likely continue to annoy me, unless the cashier is super hot, then I let it slide. I know it's a silly little thing, but it really really bugs me.
