Also, the expiry date should never be a date picker. I'm not trying to _choose_ a date, I'm just dumping the exact numbers from my card. I want to type, tab, type, tab, type, enter, and be done.

But wait! It gets worse: Date-of-birth fields where they use a date picker, and the default/starting date is today.

I'm a bit older than the average HM demographic, so using a date picker to scroll back many years might take hundreds of clicks. Then I made a mistake (details long forgotten) and the whole thing reset and I had to start again. On the third time around I just quit.
