Could we not have gotten our #### together enough to get that right? Who was the idiot that decided they should be different.

It messes me up for PIN numbers too. Muscle memory makes me pause sometimes when the pad changes.
Then it get's super confusing in Japan. They scramble the position of the numbers on the digital pad so that it's harder for people to steal your PINs but it definitely makes me think about it. I would imagine that that tech will slow come to North America (at least I haven't come across it here yet).
