BREAKING: Millions Still Writing Date As 2025 By Accident

In a stunning display of collective muscle memory, millions of people across the globe confirmed this week that they are still writing the date as “2025” on documents despite it being very much 2026 now.

Experts say the phenomenon is most common on checks, work forms, and any situation where accuracy suddenly matters more than it did two seconds earlier.

“I know it’s 2026,” said one office worker, confidently crossing out the date for the fourth time, “but my hand refuses to believe it.”

Psychologists explain that the brain requires anywhere from three weeks to six months to accept a new year, depending on caffeine intake and how fake January feels.

Banks report a sharp increase in paperwork rejected for being “chronologically confused but emotionally understandable.” Teachers, meanwhile, have already given up correcting students, admitting that even the syllabus still says 2025 “out of spite.”

The issue appears most severe among adults who still think 2020 was “just last year,” despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Some have attempted to fix the problem by pausing before writing the date, only to confidently write 2025 slower.

Tech companies briefly proposed auto-correcting dates, but scrapped the idea after realizing people would simply fight the correction out of instinct.

One analyst described the mistake as “harmless,” noting that society has already agreed that January is a fake month where nothing counts, and you can sleep with your cousin, it’s fine.

At press time, experts warned the problem may persist until at least March and potentially into next year.
