I filed my first complaint against a coworker for arguing with me about ISO standards. I'm an AV engineer and use YYYY-MM-DD for my print sets which he found "confusing" because most fools write M-D-YY. I told him I got approval to do it that way and it might even become mandatory (true) but he wouldn't drop it. He sarcastically told me I should teach a class on date formats because I think I'm so smart.

We're an international company and I'm gonna keep using the international standard for dates, douchebag.

I like how this person is confused by a four-digit year as the first field, like that's ambiguous!

some online shops let you upload a scan of it, do that and let them decipher the code.

That's fully legible, but probably only because my handwriting is just as bad.

Just look at the prescription when you get it and ask what the numbers are.
Those are your eyes, and you paid for those numbers, either directly or via health insurance / taxes.
